It is on this premise that an expert system(neural network) was used in this book to formulate a cost prediction model for building works. Background was created for the comparison of traditional and expert application exploring their methods, concept and application.Artificial Neural Network was used to generate a model which was adjudged to be of very good predictive ability and low Mean Square Error value with different data ports and validation modules. The presentation illustrate practical application...
