• Predicting construction cost using multiple regression techniques (2006, methodology): “Early examples of the use of regression analysis as a forecasting tool are provided by McCaffer (1975) and McCaffer et al. (1984), while a more recent application of the technique to early cost estimating is provided by Trost and Oberlender (2003).”
• Rethinking Construction Cost Overruns: Cognition, Learning and Estimation (2014, background): “Overruns beyond 100% of original cost are also not uncommon (Trost and Oberlander 2003, Odeck 2004).”
