PhD Thesis: summary of contents
The thesis deals with the relationship between the project and its economic control in the building construction industry.
The project must meet the requirements needed to optimize resources and satisfy the needs from which it originated. In this context, it is important to bear in mind the contributions from different subjects and the need to make progressive choices, which do not allow the exact calculation of the final cost of the work, during each phase of its conception. This must also include the costs of the project and organization and management expenses.
On the other hand, in order to minimize material resources, through constant technological innovation aimed at sustainability, the awareness of the underlying economic implications of the design is a determining factor for the definition of the project. This is confirmed by the principles at the basis of the instruments dedicated to the preventive evaluation (legislation, parametric value, Bill of Quantities, Price Analysis).
The research has been carried out bearing this double requirement in mind. The aim is to examine and verify the possible answers, considering the need to develop a new instrument for economic evaluation, to use alongside the existing ones. It is aimed at the designer, responsible for the analysis of the building solutions.
Product of research
The result of the investigation is a procedural model of evalutation, which can be used for the development of a software able to facilitate the comparative study of alternative technological scenarios, thanks to a rapid analysis of every single building hypothesis.
The use of the instrument, of which a simulation has been illustrated, allows the identification of the most suitable building option in terms of relationship betweeen time, cost, and quality.
