A knowledge based system for valuing variations in civil engineering works: a user centred approach (2004)
Journal Article
Sutrisna, M., Proverbs, D., Potts, K., & Buckley, K. (2004). A knowledge based system for valuing variations in civil engineering works: a user centred approach

There has been much evidence that valuing variations in construction projects can lead to conflicts and disputes leading to loss of time, efficiency, and productivity. One of the reasons for these conflicts and disputes concerns the subjectivity of t...
