N2  - Numerous methods had been developed in the past to  estimate the cost of a construction project in the predesign stages. None of them has provided sensitivity  analysis for the magnitude of changes in the project cost if  there are alternatives in the specifications of the  construction materials, or there exist price escalations for  construction materials and labor cost in the market. This  study has d eve loped an estimating model by finding the  correlations of magnitudes of work s and the floor areas of  the buildings as well as the correlation s of the floor areas  a nd t he project sizes. These correl ations are collected from  past informations of proj ects that had be e n compl eted or  under construction. Apartme nt building projects are studi ed  and works of the projects are grouped into 25 work items.  The results are tested with new projects a nd are proved to  be reasonably accurate
