| description | This study is aimed at improving a formula that enables easy, correct, and fast estimation of an Early-Stage Cost of Buildings (ESCE). This formula, enabling estimation of ESCE, was developed by the authors based on artificial neural networks and gene expression programming. A quantity survey was conducted for a hundred construction projects, and a data set was created. This data set was analysed with many Artificial Neural Networks to determine the variables that affect ESCE. An algorithm configuration was made with Gene Expression Programming, and the ESCE formula was created using this algorithm configuration. This formula estimates ESCE with satisfactory precision. The use of the proposed formula in the early-stage building cost calculations is important not only for faster and easier cost calculation but also to prevent any differences that may arise due to the individual making the calculations. |
