Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this research was to perform a cost analysis between DBB and SABER construction. The research involved traveling to Wright-Patterson and Holloman Air Force Bases to gather project information on comparable projects completed by both methods. There were a total of 46 projects collected from both bases. A methodology was developed to compare the projects completed. Projects were divided into categories containing similar types of construction. Data from the project was then used to calculate a unit cost for the project. Project comparability was demonstrated by showing the projects constructed by each method completed a similar type and …
