Undersökning av kostnadsöverskridande i byggbranschen : Faktorer som påverkar att slutsumman blir högre än den estimerade kostnadskalkylen

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this study is to identify main factors when cost estimate is being exceeded in the construction industry both nationally and globally. If the cost estimation is exceeded, it may result in losses for the company, which can be severe and cause extensive damage. Therefore, a study is necessary to see if it is possible to perform a more detailed cost calculation.Cost overruns occur in both bigger and smaller projects. Factors causing cost overruns do not always have to be of the same category. Identifying negative factors as a guideline is troublesome due to the fact that one project outcome might not necessarily be other projects result.In collaboration with Småa AB and our starting point in “The white city”, an examination was performed to identify the factors leading to the costs being exceeded. Study consisting of literature and interviews with the production manager for the White City. At the end of the study the purpose and questions will be answered. Suggestions and solutions will be provided.The work was ongoing during a prevailing pandemic, that has affected the entire world, Covid-19. The pandemic has limited our site visits and interviews.
