An Option Pricing Model to Evaluate ADR Investments in AEC Construction Projects under Different Scenarios

Publication: Computing in Civil Engineering (2007)

Abstract

A major concern for construction industry participants is the occurrence of claims and change orders which cause significant losses in terms of schedule delays, and cost overruns. The use of Alternative Dispute Resolution Techniques (ADR) has been shown to reduce the impact of these claims on the project. These ADR techniques require capital expenditures that need to be justified in construction projects with budget constraints. This paper investigates the use of real option valuation under competitive entry to evaluate ADR investments and determine the optimal investment timing.
