Construction Cost Control Practices in Developing Economies provides readers with insights into proactive approaches to improving construction cost control, thus improving an organisations' cost management performance goals and profitability. The book does this by developing a framework that supports the implementation of construction cost control and provides insight into the multi-faceted factors influencing expenditure in the construction industry of developing economies.

Relatively few studies have been published on cost control for construction organisations in developing countries. Likewise, no reference book conceptualises a cost control model for construction organisations in developing economies. The book initially explores the concept of cost control and its impact on construction firms and project managers. The second section shows a practical step-by-step approach to undertaking cost control in the construction industry. Finally, the book identifies the gaps in cost control studies by critically reviewing related models and theories. The book offers value to readers as it presents a roadmap for designing and implementing cost control in the construction industry.

It will be of interest to researchers in quantity surveying, construction management, project management, civil engineering, and construction economics.
