TL;DR: The statistical characteristics of cost overruns experienced from contract award in 276 Australian construction and engineering projects were analyzed in this article, where the skewness and kurtosis values of the cost overrun are computed to determine if the empirical distribution of the data follows a normal distribution.

TL;DR: In this paper, a life-cycle approach to evaluate public-private partnership (PPP) projects is proposed to evaluate their performance and ensure value for money that is delivered to the public sector.

TL;DR: In this article, the statistical characteristics of rework and cost and schedule overruns that are experienced from a project's contract award for 58 Australian transportation infrastructure projects are analyzed. But the best fitting distribution is the generalized logistic probability density function, which provides the best overall distribution fit.

TL;DR: In this paper, an interpretivist approach that utilized semistructured interviews was undertaken in the State of Western Australia to determine the nature of performance measurement in Australian public-private partnerships (PPPs), and it was revealed that there was a proclivity for performance measurements during design and construction to focus on traditional ex ante and ex post evaluations that were aligned to the conventional iron triangle: time, cost, and quality.

TL;DR: In this paper, the statistical characteristics of rework costs experienced from contract award in 276 construction and engineering projects were analyzed and a Generalised Pareto probability function was found to provide the best overall distribution fit for re-work costs.
