Practitioners and academics often debate about cost overruns, a pivotal part of the iron-triangle that is traditionally used to assess the project management performance. Intuitively, the term "cost overruns" refers to the situation where the actual costs are higher than the original estimates. However, especially in the case of long and complex projects, with several different budgets, significantly affected by scope changes, inflations, etc., the assessment of "cost overruns" can still be subject of misunderstanding. This paper addresses this topic by proposing a way to define and assess cost overruns, particularly in the case of long and complex projects (also called megaprojects) and when publicly available information is scattered. This is exemplified using the case of Nuclear Decommissioning Projects and Programmes (NDPs) that are representative of the above-mentioned scenario. Lastly, this paper reflects on the importance of highlighting the existing constraints and the assumptions adopted during the appraisal of cost overruns.

Trust, cooperation, risk allocation and PPP project performance have been extensively investigated in literature. However, the impact of trust and cooperation on PPP project performance and the moderating role of risk allocation between them still lack empirical evidence. The present research attempts to bridge these gaps by using partial least squares (PLS) approach to analyze a sample of 216 valid responses. The results show that trust and cooperation positively affect PPP project performance, trust positively influences cooperation. Risk allocation improves the effects of trust and cooperation on PPP project performance, as well as improves the effect of trust on cooperation, and the cooperation plays partial mediate role between trust and PPP project performance. Therefore, the trust and cooperation play a key role in achieving PPP project performance while the moderating role of risk allocation should also be paid more attention. Research results can enrich the theory of relationship management (RM) and provide a theoretical reference to public sector and private sector for improvement of the performance by trust, cooperation, and risk allocation, and also in maintaining on-going relationships between them in the future.

“…Compared with CB-SEM, PLS-SEM can analyze a complex model with a small sample size and free data distribution [48][49][50]. Until now, PLS-SEM had been used widely by project management and construction management researchers [20,[51][52][53][54][55]] to investigate the multiple and interdependent relationships among constructs. Based on the suggestion of Hair et al [48], a minimum sample size for PLS-SEM is 10 times the maximum number of paths in the model.…”

The Drivers and Performance of Environmental Practices in the Chinese Construction Industry

With the global concern of environmental protection and sustainability, construction firms are required to develop and implement environmental practices (EP) to mitigate the negative impacts of project activities on the environment. This paper attempts to explore two potential drivers (i.e., government regulations and project team’s knowledge and skills) and performance outcomes (i.e., environmental performance and organizational performance) when the firm implementing EP in construction projects. A survey-based research design was developed to measure the drivers, EP implementation, and performance and to collect data in the Chinese construction industry. Structural equation modelling was used to test the hypothesized relationships. The results indicate that a project team’s knowledge and skills, rather than government regulations, are the key driving factors for the implementation of EP in construction projects. EP implementation is proved to have a positive impact on both environmental and organizational performance. This study provides empirical evidence for project environmental management research and offers managerial insights on how to promote EP in the construction industry.
