Abstract

Anyone searching for conceptual solutions for Project Cost Controlling in site development will rapidly ascertain that no such solutions exist. The development of civil engineering projects perhaps most closely approximates to the requirements - civil engineering projects can nowadays scarcely be conceived without cost controlling. There are, however, significant differences between these two types of project, with the result that it is not possible to adopt solution models on a "one-to-one" basis. This article describes Project Cost Controlling as practiced by Montan-Grundstücksgesellschaft mbH (MGG) in its site development activities. The APSIS program, from conject, has been specially tailored to the special needs of site development. Long project running periods and the dynamics of site layout during a project, combined with ever-changing relationships between planned and actual s
