Why big projects go wrong
Explore the reasons why so many buildings cost more and take longer than expected.
From the Sydney Opera House to a basic kitchen renovation there are thousands of examples of construction projects large and small which go horribly over budget.
Professor Bent Flyvbjerg has compiled a database of 16,000 projects, and by his reckoning only 8.5% them meet their initial estimates of cost and time. He talks to Sam Fenwick about his new book, 鈥淗ow Big Things Get Done鈥.
