Abstract
This paper summarized and reviewed the current main strategies for cost reduction in construction projects. According to the feedback from ten experienced construction managers, we analyzed the implementation of the current main strategies and nine possible factors (reasons) that should influence these strategies. Then a new approach is introduced to improve functionality for cost reduction in construction projects.
