No published figure for weather cost as a share of contract value
No figure nobody has published a defensible one: No published figure for weather cost as a share of contract value (Ballesteros-Perez, Smith, Lloyd-Papworth & Cooke, 2018; UK; low confidence).
What it is. None - the only share-of-cost figures found are a single residential project and a perception survey.
Sample. UK national weather data and standard building activities; a model with a worked example, not observed projects. Found UK weather extends durations by an average of 21%.
What it is not. Recorded as `none` on purpose. The research pass found only two cost-as-percent figures: 4% on one Sydney apartment project (sponsored content, residential) and 23.8% from a Pakistani perception survey the pass called implausible. Neither is a benchmark, so this register holds no ratio rather than a convenient one. See weather_wet_day_overhead for what IS measured.
