All 3 Documented Cases
Possession-Driven Estimation Delays in Rail Projects
Estimated AUD 20-40 hours/month per project in manual possession planning (logic-based on guideline complexity noted in PCEM7)Rail construction cost estimation is more variable than road construction due to operating rail and safety requirement constraints. Planning around possessions creates bottlenecks not present in traditional construction.
Cost Overrun in Retrofit and Rebuild Estimation
AU$125,909,372 (19% overrun on AU$665.5M actual work vs. AU$539.6M budgeted; range: 12.83%-96.73% per project)Systematic cost overruns in retrofit and rebuild contracts caused by inaccurate labor availability and material cost forecasting. Projects consistently exceed budgets by 12-97%.
Procurement Method Misselection Cost Impact
AUD 50-80 million estimated annual loss across Australian rail sector due to suboptimal procurement method selectionProcurement method selection directly correlates to cost outcome variance. Traditional Lump Sum contracts achieve only 12.83% mean overrun but range to 96.73% maximum. Alliance contracts require AU$50M+ capital threshold justification.
