Summary: This research aims to investigate the causes of cost overrun in Iranian construction projects and review the findings of similar studies conducted in Asian countries. The results show that poor site management, improper planning, fluctuation of prices of materials, lack of experience, and poor economic condition are the critical reasons for cost overrun in Iranian construction projects. These findings can provide insights into the complexity of the construction industry in different periods and help minimize the risk of cost overrun.

Summary: Saudi Arabia's vision 2030 initiatives have prompted a rapid transformation across all sectors, particularly the construction industry. However, the industry is facing significant cost and time overruns, impacting all stakeholders. This study aims to identify and explore the influential risk factors in government-funded building construction projects in Saudi Arabia, which have experienced delays and cost overruns under a traditional procurement method. A survey was conducted among 200 experts and professionals, and the results revealed the most significant risk factors contributing to project delays and budget overruns.

Summary: This study investigates the interrelationships between causes of cost overrun using interpretive structural modeling (ISM) and proposes strategies to tackle the causes considering their interactions. The results show that price fluctuation, claims, execution delay, delay in payment, and change order directly result in cost overrun, while corruption and poor contract management are the root causes. The study also suggests paying more attention to the precontract phase of the project to address these issues.

Summary: Construction industry projects are crucial for sustainable economic growth, and Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) is an effective technique for evaluating future costs. This study reviews 83 articles to explore the impact of LCCA on various aspects of construction projects, such as structural design, energy cost optimization, and environmental impact optimization. The findings highlight the direct influence of LCCA on the construction industry and economic sustainability, as well as its indirect influence on environmental sustainability.

Summary: Current approaches to automating cost estimation primarily focus on construction costs. However, engineering services (designing the project and supervision of construction operations) can have a significant impact on the total cost of construction projects. This research proposes a robust random forest regression model to predict cost overruns for engineering services, achieving better performance than baseline models. The study provides practical tools for design firms and identifies key factors to mitigate cost overruns.

Summary: Construction projects are filled with risks that should be shared by both owners and contractors. The principal-agent theory suggests that letting a risk-neutral contractor assume all risks is optimal, but this may lead to biased incentives. It is important to find an optimal risk-sharing strategy to coordinate both parties for efficient outcomes.

Summary: Traditional design-bid-build guidelines may not fully apply to design-build projects, as the research found a higher average bid dispersion and engineering estimate values in D-B projects. The study suggests a larger threshold is needed to account for the variability in D-B projects and that current practices in D-B best-value may be more conservative than other procurement methods.

Summary: This paper identifies and assesses global risks in the supply chain performance by classifying risks based on content, probability, and context. It defines supply chain performance indicators and uses structural equation modeling to assess risks. Results show that the proposed risk model can explain variance in supplier performance, innovation, internal business, customer service, and finance. Supply chain managers should consider cost/benefit tradeoffs in mitigating major risks and allocate resources to adopt supply chain strategies like avoidance, speculation, and postponement. The application of strategic content/process/context in explaining global supply chain performance is innovative, especially considering globalization trends and the impact of events like COVID-19.

Summary: This study aims to empirically investigate the impact of operational risk on supply chain performance and the moderating role of integration in mitigating the impact of these risks. The findings show that manufacturing and demand risks negatively impact operational performance, and internal and customer integrations help to reduce the impact of these two risks. Additionally, the effects of supply risk and supplier integration are only significant for large firms.

Summary: The purpose of this study is to investigate the propagation mechanism of the ripple effect and the simultaneous impact of risks on supply chain performance. A theoretical framework is established and hypotheses are tested using data collected from a large-scale survey of 207 firms. The findings suggest that human-made risk causes operational risk, while natural risk causes both supply risk and operational risk. Furthermore, the impacts of human-made risk and natural risk on performance are amplified through operational risk.
