The mixed use development will include residential units, offices, hotels and residential apartments.

The initial planned costs of the project was $876 million dollars. The final cost, however, was approximately $1.5 billion dollar

The final construction was 100 meters higher than the original design

Changes in interior design planning were another reason for the increase in costs

TIME MANAGEMENT

7

Originally, the duration of project was set for forty-seven months, starting from February 2005 to December 2008

The Burj Khalifa project was completed nine months later, on September 2009.

Economical decline halted construction for four months in 2008.

FACTORS AFFECTING COST AND TIMEEmaar was also affected by the downturn in the real estate market in Dubai. In late 2008, the price of property at Burj Dubai slumped by about 50%-60%, while prices in the surrounding Downtown Burj Dubai fell by at least 22%First of all, a rise in prices of raw materials had gone up significantly due to the downturn of the global economy in 2008.According to report of Global Informing (2008), the price of iron had increased by 75% within a year. Other materials such as aluminum and cement also increased Increase of price of commodities caused a factor to increase construction cost.

Bad Employee ManagementIn 2006, the project, which had till then been progressing slightly ahead of schedule, fell behind schedule. Workers from countries like India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, were used to construct the towers and they complained that they were being paid very low wages.

RISK MANAGEMENTThe engineers of the tower worked the design of the structure to avoid the two major challenges; wind and gravity.The highest-risk part of the Burj Khalifa is its high speed elevatorsTo ensure safety, the Burj Khalifa features a home automation system which consists of LCD panels that display detailed emergency information to specified groups of building occupants.

SOFTWARES USEDSamsung engineering and Besix,

introduced new technologies based on previous experiences with tall building construction.

Following technologies were used for building Burj Khalifa :The ETABS software developed by Computers & Structures Inc., of USA was used for the analysis and design.Prolog Manager is a Windows-based construction project management application

SUCCESS/FALIUREFrom the point of

quality : The project is successful

The net profit increased 10

times compared to 2009
