Course of study: | | Doctor of Philosophy, Queensland University Of Technology |
Research topic: | | Identifying and Matching Project Risk Factors to Delivery Capability in Highway Construction Projects |
Since completing PhD / Masters | | Gary works as a Construction Manager on the Gateway Upgrade Project for Queensland Motorway Ltd. |
Research contribution to theory: | | The research focuses on highway construction projects in Queensland, Australia and utilises the case study approach of a road organisation to research and analyse a broad range of historical data that have lead to cost overruns in client budget estimates during project delivery. The research also aims at developing a statistical risk probability model that can quantify risk provisions as a percentage contingency on-cost for planned highway project types.
|
Research contribution to industry practice: | | The research focuses on the client and the necessity to achieve accurate risk assessment of highway project cost estimates at the time the decision to build is made. The research will assist such clients in identifying a broader range of risk factors by the incorporation of realistic contingency percentage on-costs in client project budget estimates.
