From fiscal year 1993 through fiscal year 2005, Congress appropriated approximately $4.5 billion for 78 courthouse construction projects. GAO (1) compared estimated and actual costs for recently completed courthouse projects and determined what information GSA provided to Congress on changes to proposed courthouse projects, (2) identified factors that contributed to differences between the estimated and actual costs of seven projects selected for detailed review, and (3) identified strategies that were used to help control the costs of the seven selected projects. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-673/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-673.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-673/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-673.pdf GAO-05-673 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-673 Other Written Product GAO-05-673; Courthouse Construction: Information on Project Cost and Size Changes Would Help to Enhance Oversight; Construction costs Cost analysis Cost control Cost overruns Courts (law) Federal courts Government facility construction Program evaluation Program management Cost estimates
