“…The best examples are Bon's collected papers on input-output modelling (2000), the books by Ive and Gruneberg (2000) and Gruneberg and Ive (2000) and Runeson (2000). These books are concerned with the economics of the building and construction industry, and reflect the wide-ranging scope of modern economics.…”

“…Bari et al [13] identified the factors, such as the statutory and regulation factors and socio-economic conditions which significantly influence the building development costs, by conducting a questionnaire survey. The previous study also revealed that the national and global dynamics could directly and indirectly influence the building development costs as the demands for construction products are materially decided by exogenous determinants [14].…”

Identification of costs drivers and their influence level on building development costs play a key role in the development of construction models and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of any project. Forty-five indicators influencing building development costs in New Zealand are explored by literature review and pilot interviews. These indicators are grouped into seven categories. The determination and ranking of the cost drivers are carried out by a questionnaire survey distributed to key professionals working in New Zealand's construction industry. Structural equation modeling (SEM) software was employed for analysis of the collected data. One of the key advantages of this powerful software is to provide the p-value according to the structure of the research model. Findings of this study indicate that the property market and construction industry factor, statutory and regulatory factor, and socio-economic factors are major factor affecting building development costs in New Zealand.

“…According to Ive and Gruneberg (2000), the gross output can serve as a reasonable proxy to the construction volume in which the clients are willing to pay at the actual prevailing level of construction prices. Therefore, the quarterly gross output series of all construction activities at constant (2000) prices as maintained by the Census and Statistics Department (C&SD) of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government was chosen to represent the overall construction demands of the territory.…”

“…Changes in demographic structures and the migration of population could generate a demand for new infrastructure and construction facilities to accommodate the changes (Ive & Gruneberg, 2000). Hong Kong is known for Her high population density and hence variation in the population may affect the level of construction demand.…”
