Determination of contingency for international projects plays an important role for inclusion of risks taken by the contractor on the bid amount. Although determination of contingency is an important stage of bid preparation for international projects, the methods that are being used by Turkish contractors for quantification of contingency are very limited. In this thesis the factors affecting the contingency decisions of Turkish contractors for international projects will be investigated. The significance of these factors will be determined and a model determining the contingency will be developed.

Mapping Uncertainty for Risk and Opportunity Assessment in Projects Qazi, Abroon; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (Informa UK Limited, 2019-01-01) Risk management is deemed as a critical process toward achieving the objectives of any project. A number of tools and techniques have been developed to help project managers reduce the risk involved in complex projects as risk is generally perceived as a negative event. However, uncertainty, which may lead to risk events may well result in opportunities. With the main aim of managing both risk and opportunity within an interdependent setting of interacting project uncertainties, we present a new thinking, c...
Comparison of international federation of consulting engineers and general specification for public works contracts from risk management perspective Usta, Ergun; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) Contractors have to construct the projects efficiently in accordance with the contract provisions when they accept a contract. All construction projects involve risk and there is no possibility to eliminate all the risks associated with a specific project. Management of risk requires identification and analysis of risk factors. After this risk assessment step, proper response strategies have to be developed so that an optimum risk-reward structure is ensured. Contracts are the grounds where risk allocation ...
Benefit-cost analysis for retrofitting of selected residental buildings in İstanbul Erdurmuş, Salih Buğra; Erant, Engin; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) During the evaluation of the seismic retrofitting option for risk reduction/mitigation measures to be applied over buildings, Benefit Cost Analysis is an often-used method. During this study of Benefit Cost Analysis, the condition that the earthquake can happen just after or sometime after retrofitting will be taken into consideration rather than some approaches that focus on the benefits and costs regarding the annual probability of the occurrence for possible earthquakes. The analysis will use conditional...
Meta-Modeling of Complexity-Uncertainty-Performance Triad in Construction Projects Dikmen Toker, İrem; Erol, Huseyin; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (Informa UK Limited, 2020-07-01) Although conceptualized in various ways within the project management literature, complexity is usually identified as one of the drivers of uncertainty, which may result in deviations from the expected project performance in the construction industry. Effective strategies to manage risk and complexity can only be formulated by understanding the complexity-uncertainty-performance triad in construction projects and modeling the non-linear interactions between these factors. In this study, a meta-modeling appr...
Development of a risk management decision support system for intarnational construction projects Arıkan, Arif Erdem; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) It is agreed upon by many researchers that, although risk management (RM) is accepted as one of the critical success factors for construction projects, project participants generally do not have sufficient knowledge pertinent to risk management concept and the number of risk management support tools which facilitate the process is rather low. In order to facilitate risk management activities, decision support tools that will enable risk identification, analysis and response strategy formulation should be de...
