Cost Model Study - Commercial Buildings

Although not directly relevant to our unit of study, I have added this article as it involves one of the most recently researched developments in the industry and could form a marriage with the processes of BIM. Using a series of case studies in regional and central London the study aims to provide a guideline for costings and the type of structures (long or short span, concrete or steel) which are most effective depending on the location of a site and the logistics involved in bringing materials on-site.

It is interesting because it highlights the complexities construction managers can be faced with, taking a more universal and in-depth approach to understanding the cost of a building.
