dc.description.abstractSecurity is increasingly having importance attached to it worldwide. The historical background of housing cannot be separated from criminal activities committed within houses which often follow a forceful entry by perpetrators. The objective of this research is to establish the cost influencing factors that could help in the control of expenditure and forecasting of probable future cost of building security. This study used qualitative phase of mixed methods research for the exploration of the cost influencing factors. Phenomenological design was employed for data collection and analysis. Three main categories were identified to sort responses to the questions, out of which only two categories were directly related and under the scope of this study with 11 factors emerged from these two categories. The Severity index analysis (S.I) was performed to rank these key cost influencing factors. The result shows no significant gap between the factors with intruder detection, location of building, and use of building ranked above 87%. Therefore, all the factors generated from this study will positively influence the building security cost.en_US
