Abstract

The construction industry has been evolving over the years, adapting to materials, designs, methodologies, and client's needs. These changes have significantly influenced cost management practices in construction projects, often resulting in deviations from the initial project budget and causing cost overruns. The study aims to address four objectives; explore cost control techniques during the construction lifecycle, examine recurrent factors influencing effective cost techniques, assess the involvement of construction consultants in cost management practices and investigate challenges encountered by project managers.

Through a deep analysis of the literature on construction industry practices, cost management methodologies and factors affecting cost budgets, this study aims to provide valuable insights into improvements or implementations that can be made in Irish construction organizations to effectively achieve estimated project costs.
