| Abstract | ||
| Cost estimation considered one of the important task in the construction projects management. The precise estimation of the construction cost affect on the success and quality of a construction project. Elemental estimation consider a very important stage to the project team because it represents one of the key project elements, It helps in formulating the basis to strategies and execution plans for construction and engineering. Elemental estimation, which in the early stage, estimate the construction costs depending on minimum details of the project so that it give an indication for the initial design stage of a project. This paper study the factors that affect the elemental cost estimation as well as the relation between these factors using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. Final conclusions and recommendations were extracted for better elemental estimation accuracy in project management. | ||
