Abstract
This paper introduces an expert system which demonstrates a new method for accurate estimation of building house cost. This system is simple and decreases the time, the effort, and the money of its beneficiaries. In addition, design and implementation of the proposed expert system are introduced. CLIPS 6.0 and C# are used in implementation phase. Also, this expert system is programmed to be in a standalone package with a platform independency. Furthermore, the developed expert system is tested under several real cases. Finally, an initial evaluation of this expert system is carried out and a positive feedback is received from user's samples, which makes it robust and efficient. I.
