- Abstract:
Negative impacts of construction works on local traffic, environment and business have been pointed out by previous researchers. However, little work has been conductd on the quantification of such costs. A timeâ€dependent construction social costs (COSCO) model is developed for quantifying the negative impacts that result from construction operations during the field execution phase. The COSCO model is a simplified but practical model that calculates the construction social costs in a conservative way. A roadwork construction project is used to show the applicability of the COSCO model. It is found that the daily social cost was US$18 188–5.52 times the project construction cost. This is a striking illustration of management techniques for mediating the social costs of construction projects.
