Apartment building cost estimating using artificial Neuron network

Abstract

Estimating cost of a construction project is an important task in the management of construction. Following the urbanization and the population growth, apartment building projects rise increasingly in quantity. Correct cost estimation is a vital problem of the owners. This paper presents the application of artificial neuron network (ANN) in apartment building cost estimate. Moreover, a software, programmed with Visual C++, was constructed and presented to predict apartment building cost.
