  abstract: This research examines the theoretical underpinnings and
  abstract: associated advancements related to the built environment and
  abstract: decision support systems (DSS). Specifically for the built
  abstract: environment this includes the disciplines of real estate
  abstract: development, construction science and project management,
  abstract: finance, statistics and economics, for decision support
  abstract: systems this includes management science and decision
  abstract: analysis, and computer science. The purpose of this research
  abstract: was to design, develop and evaluate a prototype development
  abstract: cost estimating decision support system for use in the pre-
  abstract: development planning stage of real estate development.
  abstract: Particular emphasis was placed on synthesis of each
  abstract: discipline's models and/or advancements which support design
  abstract: and development of a decision support system; derivation of
  abstract: real estate development cost; and evaluation of risk. The
  abstract: results of the design and development phases of this research
  abstract: are embodied in the Real Estate Development Decision Support
  abstract: (REDDS) system as documented in this dissertation. Following
  abstract: design and development of the system, it was tested on a
  abstract: group of real estate development and construction management
  abstract: students at Texas A&M University. It was hypothesized that
  abstract: such an interdisciplinary methodology, which utilizes a
  abstract: decision support system framework, would facilitate
  abstract: generation of consistent and timely analysis of real estate
  abstract: development cost and associated risk and elevate the
  abstract: confidence of the user in the decision making process. Test
  abstract: results indicate that the REDDS systems does significantly
  abstract: reduce conceptual cost estimating preparation time. Further,
  abstract: it was determined that the REDDS system does not
  abstract: significantly change the confidence of the user in the
  abstract: decision making process. Finally, this study shows that use
  abstract: of the REDDS system provides a consistent and sophisticated
  abstract: framework for evaluating development cost and risk, which
  abstract: leads to less variation and more accurate estimates.
