Construction projects are ones, that need to be handled with care, as their determinants and building factors, may relate a lot towards the economic factor of the project. One slight misunderstanding of the determinants, the design and build may be completely worn off and lead toward an economical failure. The cost matters a lot, and for that particular reason, this paper portrays the system and framework that deduced the determinants and capacity related to the construction projects, that are carried through an institute, specifically Lahore Development Authority in this case, which helps the reader to understand various factors for that might hinder the determinants and design-build capacity of any construction project. The SEM technique, that has been a part of project management works, is used as a methodological part for this paper to express the cost matter for the construction projects at LDA. Taking a sample size related to the population, preparation of the questionnaire, and their descriptive analysis towards the response of specified population to the questionnaire designed, which will further lead to an answer of that modeling equation, and helps to evaluate the determinants that might hinder or effect the cost of project management.
