Popis: Knowledge of how risks combine to impact variability between design stage elemental cost plans and final tender sums, in traditionally procured commercial building projects, from the architects’ perspectives in NZ is yet to be investigated. This study therefore evaluates identified risk factors through risk measurement, in order to determine the most significant. Data for the study were collected through an online questionnaire survey of 82 practising architects in NZ. Responses to the survey were analysed using descriptive statistics, risk mean analysis, degree of risk and Spearman's correlation. A ranking of the mean and degree of risk values enabled the most significant risk factors during design development to be determined. The findings revealed the top 10 risk factors impacting the variability observed. Armed with this information, architects may be better able to provide information on the influence of design- and construction-related risks on building project performance and, consequently ...
