In Nigeria, there has been a dearth of study in the field of risk-related cost variability. Due to unreliable cost estimation, variations in cost, length and
quality are the direct implications. Cost estimating is difficult, mainly when dealing with uncertainties. The research aims to develop a framework for
evaluating the impact of risk on cost estimation through a systematic review. This risk is critical because initial estimates provided to clients serves
as bases for planning activities. Theoretical concept was validated via a processual lens of a systematic literature review with cost variability and
construction projects as search string within three databases: Scopus, Web of science and EBSCO (BSP) (Business source premium), which were
further studied and knowledge or research gaps identified. The review indicated factors causing deviation between final acco.. Read More»
