Full textAbstract:
Housing is the most important of asset of the general public. It combines the function of a living place and a major storage of wealth. Socially, it is a vertical community lived hundreds even thousands of people. Technically, it is an artifact of modern architecture and a combination of various building services and specific knowledge and skills are required to keep it running smooth. The one who operates this epitome of a society is named as “Housing Manger”
Housing management is a young profession in Hong Kong. Its status and role is built progressively through interaction with its service clients, those are the residents of estates. The social construction process forms the base of the profession in image and agreement building. Understanding the relationship between residents’ perception and the evolution of housing management profession helps the profession to setup its direction and goal in order to provide more appropriate services to safeguard the interest of the general public.
The purpose of this study is to analyze how the role of housing management profession is developed and affected by the perception and expectations of residents. Housing management itself is also examined with the eight characteristics of a classical profession to see whether it fulfills the requirements to differentiate itself from other occupations and professions. A questionnaire survey and an interview in micro perspective are carried out to collect the first hand information of thinking from residents and industry practitioners.
The findings indicated that the general public holds a positive image on the housing management profession and agree its contribution to the public interest, which is maintaining a safe and comfortable living environment for residents. The latest movements in qualification framework and legal recognized licensing system of housing managers have clearly stated its service boundary of the profession and improved its legitimacy in the industry. On the other side, the findings also indicate some aspects are waiting improvement to strengthen the status of the professions. It shows the direction for all stakeholders of the industry to work and cooperate with each other for the ultimate goal of a safe and enjoyable living environment.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
The study investigates the underlying causal mechanisms behind the outcomes in the affordable housing market in South Africa. The rationale for this study is the persistence of unfavourable outcomes in terms of location, density, integration and affordability of affordable housing developments. The post-apartheid government adopted housing policies, supporting planning policies and directed financial investment towards the development of integrated affordable housing at appropriate locations and densities. However, more than 20 years after democracy, there is no evidence that affordable housing is integrated and being developed at higher densities and appropriate locations, despite the principles of densification, integration and the creative use of town planning tools bestowed in the housing policies. This study, using structure and agency theory, investigates how structural variables (planning system and policy framework, resources for housing development and ideological perspectives) influenced the agency of role players in producing the current outcomes in the affordable housing market. The study investigated two interrelated questions. Firstly, how have the ideals of planning incentives, densification and integration reflected in the housing policies influenced the post-apartheid planning systems? Secondly, how do the planning system and other structural variables impact on the property and housing market and how does this, in turn, produce the current outcomes regarding the location, density, integration and affordability of affordable housing. Corresponding to these questions were two hypotheses. The first was that the principles of planning incentives, densification and integration espoused in housing policy have not been sufficiently reflected in the planning system, leading to failure in stimulating the private sector to supply affordable housing. The second hypothesis was that the planning system fails to counteract the tendencies of private developers to locate housing at inappropriate densities and locations. Using the conceptual framework designed from structure-agency theory, this study adopted a comparative case study method to investigate how the interactions of role players with the structural variables led to the outcomes in terms of location, density, integration and affordability of five affordable housing developments in the City of Cape Town metropolitan area. The case studies of affordable housing developments were categorised in terms of the type of developers, tenure options and land ownership. The empirical data were collected using household surveys and semi-structured interviews. A household survey of 395 beneficiaries was conducted in the affordable housing developments. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with developers and planning consultants in the private sector, state policy makers and policy-implementers at the City of Cape Town and the provincial Department of Human Settlements, housing activists and housing policy specialists. The study finds that while the principles in housing policies are reflected in the planning system, there is no clear indication on the meaning and expected outcomes, leading to a disjuncture in policy intent, implementation, and failure to stimulate the private sector to supply affordable housing. Furthermore, the study finds that the planning system has lagged behind in providing adequate legislative and planning tools to support the development of affordable housing. The study finds that the planning system and policy framework has constrained the development of affordable housing and failed to successfully curb the tendencies of developers to develop at inappropriate locations and densities. The study finds that while the structural variables such as the resources for housing development and planning system and policy framework impacted on the location, density, integration and affordability of affordable housing; the ideological perspectives of role players have impacted on the roles and distribution of resources towards the development of affordable housing. The study concludes that while the housing policy has been progressive, it is not sufficient to address the challenges in the affordable housing market. It is recommended that policy interventions targeted at enhancing the location, density, integration and affordability be implemented through the three areas that constitute the structural environment, namely the planning and policy framework, resources for housing development, and ideological perspectives of role players in order to impact on the agency of role players to create an environment conducive to the development of integrated affordable housing at higher densities and appropriate locations.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MTech (Construction Management))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2017.The supply of housing products that is durable, obtained at optimum cost and available within the shortest time possible describes the term sustainable housing. Findings derived from the reviewed literature concerning the ever-increasing quest of construction clients for ‘best value for money’ on construction projects brought about the emergence of alternative contract procurement strategies. Essentially, literature revealed that it is vital to adopt an appropriate contract procurement strategy, one that best addresses particular project needs and objectives, as the adoption of an inappropriate procurement system would result in excessive project cost and time overrun, low project quality standards and the dissatisfaction of involved construction stakeholders. The quest for the supply of sustainable housing in the Western Cape, South Africa, prompted the need to establish an effective contract procurement strategy for housing project delivery. Noteworthy, this study identified five (5) objectives directed towards establishing an effective contract procurement strategy to enhance sustainable housing delivery: 1) the first objective examined the effectiveness of contract procurement strategies used for housing projects; 2) the second objective identified the factors influencing the selection of a suitable contract procurement strategy for housing projects; 3) the third objective analysed the influence of contract procurement strategies on project cost, time and quality; 4) the fourth objective examined the benefits and shortfalls associated with various contract procurement strategies on housing project resources – construction materials, machinery and manpower; 5) and the last objective was to establish the contract procurement strategy that is most effective for the delivery of sustainable housing. This research adopted a mixed methodological approach involving the administration of close-ended quantitative questionnaires submitted to construction professionals and stakeholders and semi-structured qualitative interviews conducted with construction site managers and supervisors. SPSS version 24 software was used to analyse the quantitative data elicited, and “content analysis” was used to analyse the information obtained through the qualitative interviews. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient reliability test was conducted on scaled research questions to ensure the reliability of the research questionnaire. The research findings revealed that the traditional and the design and build contract procurement approaches are cost, time and quality effective and therefore satisfactory, while the traditional contract procurement system is also effective regarding construction stakeholder satisfaction. The research identified that the significant factors influencing the selection of a contract procurement strategy include delay and mistakes in producing design documents; client inability to brief and make timely decisions; project type, nature, scope and complexity; lack of communication and feedback; lack of discipline among construction workers; and finally, lack of availability of construction materials. The study concluded that thorough consideration of these findings by construction stakeholders within the construction industry will enhance the delivery of affordable, sustainable housing. The research study recommends, among other issues, the comparison of effectiveness of contract procurement strategies on project performance on a site-by-site basis, through work study and other available strategies, to further enhance sustainable housing delivery in the South African construction industry.

Full textAbstract:
Broadly discussed in the literature the concept of project success still remains ambiguously defined. The well known success criteria like time, cost and quality does not provide any practical nformation of achieving of project objectives in an efficient way. Identification of main drivers of project success gain particular importance for companies in the light of highly competitive environment.
Housing construction projects represent one of the largest sector in construction industry and Ukrainian housing construction industry is considered to have one of the highest rate of return in EU. However the amount of research related to Ukrainian market is limited to few general economy overviews published by such organizations like World Bank and big consulting firms.
The main aim of this research is identification of the most influential success factors from the 26 factors identified in existing project management literature. The analysis was performed in a highly profitable housing construction industry with a focus on Ukrainian market peculiarities.
A questionnaire survey was sent to 110 experienced housing construction project managers and 26 responses there received. Based on the findings of the questionnaire success factors were ranked according to their impact on project success. In addition success factors interrelationship was studied in order to study the importance of each factor in depth.
The findings of the research contributed both to project management field of study and Ukrainian construction market research. A primary and support areas of success factors were identified which might serve as a practical guide for managing housing construction projects in Ukraine. The most important success factors were defined: economic environment, project manager’s experience and qualification of project team.
Project managers in housing construction industry in Ukraine would probably consider being more aware of the dominance of environment and human recourses related success factors. Additionally, success factors interrelation matrix might be used as a success diffusion map.
Further research might be also essential in this area like studying different types of project and expanding the focus of current study or analysing the importance of success factors on different stages of the project life cycle.

Full textAbstract:
The research conducted in this thesis studies the business risks considered as critical by construction contractors in the public housing construction industry in Hong Kong and the risk management methods adopted by these contractors. There is an inherent weakness in the public housing construction procurement in which price has been the overriding factor in the award of contracts and this has led to poor quality. A quantitative research method was adopted. The data for analysis included share price of listed construction contractors and other listed companies in Hong Kong. In addition, annual turnover of listed construction contractors from its company reports and available public housing projects to be tendered versus the number of prospective contractors were analysed. A main survey and a supplementary survey were also conducted after a qualitative initial study was launched to find out themes for the questions in the main survey. It is suggested that business risks of construction industry in Hong Kong are high when compared with non-construction business. As a consequence, risk premium from stocks of listed construction contractors should be higher than stocks of non- construction business. It is further suggested that risk premium of stocks of listed public housing construction contractors should be lower than other listed non- residential public buildings construction contractors due to adoption of subcontracting as risk management in the public housing construction industry. All these were being verified using share price, number of available public housing construction projects and company reports.The main survey was conducted to find out the perceptions of the public housing construction contractors on the business risks of its business due to: (a) its client, the Hong Kong Housing Authority, (b) statutory requirements, (c) penalty from poor performance and its ramifications, (d) suppliers and (e) staffing. The main survey also sought public housing construction contractors’ perception on the relative effectiveness of risk management proposals and quality improvement proposals. The supplementary survey looked at reasons for subcontracting in the Hong Kong construction industry. Exploratory factor analysis was carried out initially, which reduced the 47-item main survey questionnaire to 40 items with 8 factors and the 22-item supplementary survey to 20 items with 3 factors. In the main survey, for each of the factor identified, t-test of the mean on each of the item and of the summated items under each factor indicated the perceived business risks of public housing construction were: (a) critical due to "client" (the Hong Kong Housing Authority) - 7 critical items out of 9 items; (b) not critical due to "statutory requirements" -none of the 5 items is critical; (c) critical due to "poor performance ramifications" - all 2 items are critical; (d) critical due to "suppliers" - all 4 items are critical; (e) not critical due to "staff' -none of the 4 items is critical. For effectiveness of risk management measures to mitigate business risks due to suppliers and staffing, t-test of the mean was carried out. Risk management methods to mitigate business risks from: (a) "suppliers" were not perceived as effective - 1 effective item out of 3 items; (b) "staffing" were perceived as effective - 5 effective items out of 7 items. For effectiveness of quality improvement proposals, t-test of the mean indicated there were 3 effective items out of 6 items.
Overall the quality improvement proposals were perceived as effective. For the supplementary survey to find out reasons for subcontracting in the Hong Kong construction industry, from the subcontractors' point of view, the business practice of main contractors was perceived as critical to the operation of subcontractors (all 7 items). On the other hand, relevant reason for further (secondary) subcontracting from subcontractors was due to lack of expertise (1 item out of 5 items). For quality improvement proposals, 6 items (workers registration, strengthen supervision by contractors on subcontractors, strengthen supervision by client, registry of subcontractor, award contract based on quality and treat subcontractor as business partners) were perceived as effective. Regression was carried out for the main survey and it was found that various statutory requirements were not significant predictors for the extent of pecuniary fines due to violations of statutory requirements. However site safety obligations were found to be a significant predictor to predict the period of suspension from tendering which would be considered as critically affecting the business of the contractor. For the supplementary survey, the regression was centred on relevant reasons for subcontracting (as independent variables) and extent of subcontracting (as dependent variable). The tests indicated that subcontracting to reduce risk of over expansion and price could be significant factors to predict the extent of subcontracting. To supplement what has been proposed as a possible solution (partnering) in improving the adversarial relationship amongst contracting parties in the construction industry, a case study was carried out to see how a local non-government organisation managed an underground transit system construction project by using "partnering".
The case study indicated partnering could be useful to improve the inter-organisation co-operation in the construction industry. From the main survey, supplementary survey and the subsequent analysis as well as the case study, the most significant implication of this research is the need to have equitable terms in the contract between clients and its construction contractors. In the competitive public housing construction industry in Hong Kong, award of contract by price alone to the lowest bidder would not induce quality performance from construction contractors. To cater for fluctuating workload and risk of over- expansion, subcontracting is a form of risk management practiced by construction contractors. Subcontracting cannot be stamped out and to induce quality performance from construction contractors and subcontractors, what is essential between clients and construction contractors (equitable terms) is equally applicable between construction contractors and its subcontractors.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis summarizes the results from several studies with connection to sustainability in construction and management of real estate. Here, the concept sustainability includes environmental, social and economic dimensions and focus is on the actors with the best possibilities to impact real estate, namely the real estate owners and the developers. The thesis consists of six papers. Real estate owners’ perception of and incentives and strategies for sustainability was studied in four ways: incentives for energy efficiency and other sustainability issues in connection to renovation (papers I and II), factors that characterize firms with an ambitious approach to energy efficiency (paper V) and economic incentives for energy efficiency (paper VI). Developers’ behavior and impact on sustainability was studied in two ways: how developers’ planning and construction methods may influence energy consumption for future residents (paper III) and how developers relate to requirements for building environmental certification levels (paper IV). The first paper aims to clarify how housing firms see and treat energy efficiency matters in connection to renovation of multi-family buildings constructed during the 1960’s and 70’s. Interviews with housing firms resulted in four ideal housing firm types illustrating that housing firms have more or less incentives to improve energy efficiency. The second paper aimed to study a model for renovation of buildings in a residential area in peripheral Stockholm and to assess how it considers environmental, social and economic sustainability as well as technical concerns. Paper V builds on the results in paper I and aims to identify factors, on a firm level as well as in the surroundings of the firm, that characterize housing firms who own multi-family buildings from the 1960’s and 70’s and who have an ambitious approach to energy efficiency. Paper VI uses information from energy performance certificates to study whether better energy performance increases the selling price of single-family homes, which would increase owners’ incentives to improve energy efficiency. Paper III takes its starting point in an indicated shift in developers’ planning and construction practices for laundry facilities in owner-occupied multi-family buildings. The paper aims to clarify whether a shift has actually occurred from communal laundry rooms to in-unit laundry appliances and to illuminate the impact this could have on residents’ energy consumption for laundry. Paper IV reports the study of how developers who have adopted the environmental certification system LEED relate to the requirements for specific certification levels and how updated requirements risk undermining developers’ incentives for sustainable construction.Den här avhandlingen sammanfattar arbetet från flera studier med koppling till hållbarhet inom bygg och förvaltning av fastigheter. Begreppet hållbarhet omfattar här tre dimensioner: miljömässig, social och ekonomisk hållbarhet, och fokus ligger på de aktörer som har mest möjlighet att påverka fastigheterna, nämligen fastighetsägare och projektutvecklare. I avhandlingen ingår sex uppsatser. Fastighetsägares uppfattning av och incitament och strategier för hållbarhet undersöktes på fyra olika sätt: incitament för energieffektivisering och andra hållbarhetsfrågor i samband med renovering (uppsats I och II), faktorer som karaktäriserar företag med ett ambitiöst förhållningssätt i energieffektiviseringsfrågor (uppsats V) samt ekonomiska incitament för energieffektivisering (uppsats VI). Projektutvecklares beteende och påverkan på hållbarhet undersöktes på två sätt: hur projektutvecklares planering och byggmetoder kan påverka energianvändningen för framtida boende (uppsats III) och hur projektutvecklare förhåller sig till kravnivåer i miljöcertifiering av byggnader (uppsats IV). Den första uppsatsen syftar till att belysa hur bostadsföretag ser på och behandlar energieffektiviseringsfrågor i samband med renovering av flerbostadshus byggda under miljonprogrammet. Baserat på intervjuer med bostadsföretag resulterade den explorativa studien i konstruktionen av fyra idealtyper av bostadsföretag med mer eller mindre incitament för att energieffektivisera. Den andra uppsatsen syftade till att undersöka en modell för renovering av miljonprogramshus i ett bostadsområde i Stockholms ytterområden och bedöma hur den tar hänsyn till miljömässig, social och ekonomisk hållbarhet tillsammans med tekniska överväganden. Uppsats V bygger på resultaten i uppsats I och syftar till att urskilja faktorer, såväl på företagsnivå som i företagets omgivning, som karaktäriserar bostadsföretag som äger flerbostadshus från miljonprogramsåren och som har en ambitiös hållning i energieffektiviseringsfrågor. Uppsats VI använder information från energideklarationer för att undersöka om bättre energiprestanda ökar försäljningspriset på småhus, något som skulle öka ägarens incitament för energieffektivisering. Uppsats III utgår från en indikerad förändring i projektutvecklares planering och byggmetoder av tvättinrättningar i flerbostadshus med bostadsrätt. Uppsatsen syftar till att klarlägga om en förändring har skett från gemensam tvättstuga till tvättmöjligheter i den egna bostaden och belysa vilken effekt det skulle kunna ha på de boendes energianvändning för tvätt. I uppsats IV klarläggs hur projektutvecklare som bygger enligt miljöcertifieringssystemet LEED förhåller sig till kraven för att uppnå nivåerna för att klassificeras och hur uppdaterade kravnivåer riskerar att undergräva projektutvecklarnas incitament för att bygga hållbart.

Full textAbstract:
There is a series of different types of risk on the housing market and related industries. The six papers in this doctoral dissertation are about a number of the many dimensions of risk management on the housing market. The main message of this thesis is that it should be possible for different actors in the housing market to improve risk management. Indeed, the last years’ financial turmoil has revealed that it should not only be possible, but also necessary, to improve risk management at all levels of the economy: at household, corporate, regional, national and international level. Although the complexity of the environment in which we live and act makes it very difficult to predict and quantify risk, the development of risk management techniques should make it possible to better indentify, and reduce risk. The first paper provides a systematic overview of a wide selection of methods or strategies used in different countries to expand but also to maintain home ownership among low income households. The second paper further discusses mortgage and home equity insurance instruments discussed in the first paper. This paper also discusses how a rental insurance policy, as an alternative to traditional rent regulation, may be constructed. Paper 3 develops a formula that might be used in order to value the rental insurance option discussed in paper 2. The fourth paper focuses on the housing building sector by discussing potential benefits of strategic alliances that the different actors in the housing construction market may establish in order to pool resources and manage development risks. The challenge of constructing reliable home price indexes has attracted scholars for many years. Paper 5 develops monthly quality-adjusted price indexes for condominiums (housing cooperative apartments) based on a unique dataset covering sales in the whole of Stockholm municipality from January 2005 to June 2009. Finally paper 6 pays attention to the large increase in housing cooperative conversions sine the 1990s, by deriving a closed-form valuation formula that might be used to value the embedded option an owner of a multi-family rental property has to sell it to a housing cooperative.QC 20100810

Previous issue date: 2009-06-09Studies carried out by the United Nations (UN) show that a third of the population of the planet is suffering from the lack or inadequacy of dwellings and infra-basic structure. The deficit per dwelling is more serious in underdeveloped countries and developing countries, such as Brazil, and is becoming increasingly difficult to be solved without a great effort of the public, private initiative, financial institutions, education/research and associations on the basis of the various categories of work. As an alternative provision housing, has-if the participative management by mutual assistance, highlighting-if the housing cooperatives of auto-management. This program have presented high performance, where the works housing are being marketed and financed through this modality constructive, reducing the overall cost and increase the quality of the ventures. The mitigation of the overall cost of venture is a preponderant factor of success and survival of housing cooperatives of auto-management. The construction of residential buildings multiple floors enables the ventures housing cooperatives, because the high cost of developed land, usually with areas reduced, requiring increase the number of floors of the product for the better use of sites. The survival and servicing objectives of housing cooperatives of auto-management should consider four fundamental aspects: effectiveness in running (including the projects management), strong partnerships (with highlight to the public power, financial institutions , teaching/research, and other cooperative branches), existence of technical advice (from its constitution) and the target public (associated members with aware and motivated). Several studies identify that is in the projects management of the key to the reduction of waste of inputs and costs, with a gain in productivity and of the quality required to the final product. Considering the gaps in knowledge related to management of the project in the cooperative housing ventures, this study aims to investigate the main factors the quality of the production process, especially the stage of project of residential buildings with multiple floors built by the system of housing cooperatives of auto-management. As a result, the study provides some guidelines and tools for evaluating performance and quality of planning and control of the stage of project, from the studies of models, obtained by two aspects of phenomenological research. With the first vector seeks to at the literature national and international, models and tools for assessing the quality of project management, being more appropriate and would be appropriate for housing cooperatives of auto-management. Through the second vector investigated if, with the study of cases, two ventures of residential buildings multiple floors one in the city of Águas Claras DF, and another in the city of Goiânia GO, administered by housing cooperatives of auto-management. In these evaluated if the organizational structure, systems of an exchange of information, the weaknesses present and critical phases, planning and control the quality of the stage of project, the methodologies and tools of quality, in construction companies, design offices and between the intervening agents of the project process. It is concluded that the application management of the project in housing cooperatives of auto-management is a fundamental factor for survival,in implementing its main goal: to produce low cost housing and quality to their members.
Estudos realizados pela Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) mostram que um terço da população do planeta sofre com a falta ou inadequação de moradia e infra-estrutura básica. O déficit por habitação é mais grave nos países subdesenvolvidos e em desenvolvimento, como o Brasil, e fica cada vez mais difícil de ser resolvido sem um grande esforço do poder público, iniciativa privada, instituições financeiras, de ensino/pesquisa e associações nas bases das diversas categorias de trabalho. Como uma alternativa de provisão habitacional, tem-se a gestão participativa pela ajuda mútua, destacando-se as cooperativas habitacionais autogestionárias. Este programa tem apresentado elevado desempenho, onde as obras habitacionais estão sendo comercializadas e financiadas através desta modalidade construtiva, com redução do custo global e aumento da qualidade dos empreendimentos. A mitigação do custo global do empreendimento é um fator preponderante do sucesso e sobrevivência das cooperativas habitacionais de autogestão. A construção de edifícios residenciais de múltiplos pavimentos viabiliza os empreendimentos das cooperativas habitacionais, haja vista o alto custo dos terrenos urbanizados, normalmente com áreas reduzidas, exigindo a verticalização do produto para o melhor aproveitamento dos sítios. A sobrevida e atendimento aos objetivos das cooperativas habitacionais autogestionárias deve considerar quatro aspectos fundamentais: eficácia na autogestão (incluindo a gestão do processo de projetos), sólidas parcerias (com destaque para o poder público, instituições financeiras, de ensino/pesquisa e outros ramos cooperativos), existência de assessoria técnica (desde a sua constituição) e o público alvo (associados conscientes e motivados). Várias pesquisas identificam que está na gestão do processo de projetos a chave para a redução dos desperdícios de insumos e custos, com ganho de produtividade e da qualidade requerida ao produto final. Considerando as lacunas de conhecimento relacionadas ao gerenciamento do processo de projeto nos empreendimentos das cooperativas habitacionais, este trabalho tem o objetivo de investigar os principais fatores a qualidade do processo de produção, principalmente a etapa de projetos dos edifícios residenciais de múltiplos pavimentos construídos por meio do sistema de cooperativas habitacionais autogestionárias. Como resultado, o trabalho fornece algumas diretrizes e ferramentas de avaliação de desempenho e qualidade do planejamento e controle da etapa de projeto, oriundas dos estudos de modelos, obtidos por meio de duas vertentes fenomenológicas de investigação. Com o primeiro vetor buscou-se, na literatura nacional e internacional, modelos e ferramentas para avaliação da qualidade do gerenciamento de projetos, que fossem mais adequadas e pudessem ser apropriadas para as cooperativas habitacionais de autogestão. Através do segundo vetor, investigou-se, com os estudo de casos, dois empreendimentos de edifícios residenciais de múltiplos pavimentos - um em Águas Claras DF, e outro em Goiânia GO , administrados por cooperativas habitacionais autogestionárias. Nestes, avaliou-se a estrutura organizacional, os sistemas de troca de informações, as falhas presentes e fases críticas, planejamento e controle da qualidade da etapa de projeto, as metodologias e ferramentas da qualidade empregados nas construtoras, escritórios de projeto e entre os agentes intervenientes do processo de projeto. Conclui-se que, a aplicação do gerenciamento de projeto nas cooperativas habitacionais de autogestão é um fator fundamental de sobrevida, para o atendimento do seu principal objetivo: produzir a moradia com baixo custo e qualidade aos seus associados.

Syftet med examensarbetet är att ta fram ett förslag som är flexibelt, hållbart och kananvändas vid produktion av akutbostäder för hemlösa i Sverige. I vidare studier beaktasmaterial och ytteffektivitet av akutbostäder för strukturellt hemlösa i samhället.Resultatet visar på att en flexibel bostad med smarta servicelösningar kan användas tillmer än bara en akutbostad för hemlösa. Den kan även användas som hyresbostad,seniorboende eller annan typ av boende som behövs för tillfället. Genom intervjuer medfastighetsägare och myndighetspersoner har en kravlista sammanställts baserat på derasarbetserfarenheter. Examensarbetet ger enbart ett förslag som kan användas som underlag vid uppförandet avakutbostäder eftersom inga egna beräkningar har behandlats. För att få ett tillförlitligtresultat bör arkitekter och andra involverade konsulter inom byggbranschen intervjuas.The purpose of this project is to develop a flexible and sustainable proposal forproduction of emergency housing for homeless people in Sweden.

Full textAbstract:
Quality and quality management have gained importance in the construction industry
also due to losses of life and property. For high-quality buildings, the amount of
defects during the construction works must be reduced. Thus, it is important to
determine the defects which lead to low quality in the construction projectsand architectural, structural and constructional standards to measure some indicators of quality like workmanship, design of components and usage of correct and highquality materials. Therefore a systematic approach is required to achieve good standards both in design and construction. CONQUAS quality assessment system and Six Sigma quality management system are systems that could provide this systematic approach. The objective of this research is to evaluate the quality in mass-housing projects via Six Sigma. Thus, level of construction quality of the three houses in ODTÜ
KENT housing units in Turkey were assessed through Six Sigma with the contribution of CONQUAS quality assessment system. CONQUAS was used for determination of standards, whilst Six Sigma was used for data analysis. After the evaluation of interviews with contractor, site-supervisor, occupants and visual observations, defects and their reasons were determined. Reasons of poor quality in ODTÜ
KENT housing units were listed as firstly poor workmanship, then improper or of poorquality material usage and lastly problems in design of detailing. Despite different construction dates of units studied, the results show that nothing was learned from the previous mistakes and same defects were repeated. This shows the importance of a system providing feedback and evaluation of quality level of a construction project and quality improvement efforts of the contractor, and measuring the progress over time like Six Sigma.

O foco deste trabalho é apresentar a metodologia de gerenciamento criada e utilizada pela CDHU no Vale do Paraíba. Serão avaliadas seis obras executadas no Vale do Paraíba, através desse sistema, onde foi aplicada essa metodologia. A luz dessa metodologia, os estudos de caso serão avaliados nos parâmetros de custos, produtividade e prazos. Também serão apresentados dados de referência de obras de empreitada global (convencional), comparando-as com o sistema de mutirão. Com esse fim, o trabalho apresenta uma revisão bibliográfica sobre mutirão e provisão habitacional, conceitos e aplicações do gerenciamento de obras ao sistema de mutirão, e os estudos de caso. Concluiu-se que a aplicação da metodologia de gerenciamento nos empreendimentos, mostrou-se eficaz nos parâmetros mencionados, principalmente quando comparados aos da empreitada global.The objective of this work is to study the house-raising (also known as collective effort) system, also used by public institutions in order to reduce costs of building and help to reduce the housing deficit. The focus of the work is to present the management methodology created and used by CDHU in Vale do Paraíba (Brazil). Six real state constructions executed on Vale do Paraíba that were raised by this system and where the methodology was applied will be evaluated. From the viewpoint of this methodology case studies will be evaluated on parameters cost, productivity and time. Also presented will be reference data of buildings using works contract (conventional), comparing them to house-raising system. With this goal, the work presents a bibliographic revision about house-raising and housing provision, concepts and applications of construction management on house-raising system and the case studies. It was concluded that application of methodology of management on real state enterprises showed to be effective on the mentioned parameters, mainly when compared with the ones from works contract.

Full textAbstract:
SABO – the Swedish Association of Public Housing Companies – is the organization of the municipality owned public housing companies in Sweden. One of SABO’s main objectives is to increase the housing construction, which the Kombohus project is an example of. SABO’s Kombohus are multi-dwelling building agreements from which member companies can make contract calls to a set price. There is a demand among the members for a new Kombohus concept targeting smaller houses. The demand comes from smaller member companies outside cities. The demand from smaller member companies can be explained by a higher availability of ground and a lower demand of multi-dwelling buildings. The purpose of this report is to look into basic conditions for a new Kombohus, which will help SABO in a future procurement. Experiences and requests have been gathered through interviews with member companies and housing suppliers. Collected data have been compiled to create a target image of how a new Kombohus could be designed. The summarized result has led to the conclusion that the new concept should consist of • Semi-detached houses and row houses • One story houses • Apartment sizes: 2 rooms: 50-60 m 2 3 rooms: 65-75 m 2 4 rooms: 80-90 m 2 • Accessible apartments for different target groups • Optional carport • Optional storehouse • Different facade materials selectable • Plastic mat or clinker in bathrooms selectable • Houses independent of heating system • Turnkey project including foundation, but excluding ground work • White goods included • Environmental certification possibly optional, but not included in basic conceptSABO, Sveriges Allmännyttiga Bostadsföretag är allmännyttans bransch- och intresseorganisation. SABO verkar bland annat för ett ökat bostadsbyggande, vilket Kombohusen är ett exempel på. Kombohusen är flerbostadshus som finns tillgängliga för SABOs medlemsföretag att enkelt avropa till ett fast pris. Det finns en efterfrågan bland medlemsföretagen för ett nytt Kombohus med inriktning mot småhus. Intresset för småhus kommer främst från de mindre medlemsföretagen utanför storstadsregionerna. Intresset kan förklaras med att tillgången på byggbar mark ofta är högre och efterfrågan på antalet nya lägenheter inte är lika hög. Syftet med denna rapport är undersöka förutsättningar för ett nytt Kombohuskoncept, vilket ska mynna ut i ett underlag för SABO att ta med sig vidare i en kommande upphandling. Genom intervjuer med både medlemsföretag och småhusleverantörer har erfarenheter samt önskemål samlats in. Insamlad data har sammanställts för att skapa en målbild av hur ett nytt Kombohus kan se ut. Slutsatsen visar att konceptet bör innehålla/bestå av • Lägenheter i par- och radhusform • Enplansbyggnader • Lägenheter bestående av 2:or, 3:or och 4:or • Lägenhetsstorlekar i intervallen: 2:or: 50-60 m 2 3:or: 65-75 m 2 4:or: 80-90 m 2 • Tillgänglighetsanpassade lägenheter för olika målgrupper • Carport som tillval • Lägenhetsförråd som tillval • Valbarhet mellan olika fasadmaterial • Valbarhet mellan plastmatta och klinker i badrum • Teknikneutrala hus ur uppvärmningssynpunkt • Totalentreprenad inklusive grund, men exklusive markarbeten • Vitvaror inkluderade i totalentreprenaden • Miljöcertifiering kan möjligen finnas som tillval, dock inte med i grundkonceptet

Full textAbstract:
A problem with the construction line of business versus the environment is that there are not that much knowledge and rules around the carbon dioxide emissions that several construction projects releases. A lot of companies that we contacted didn´t have the knowledge about the carbon dioxide that releases from the construction projects that they´ve built. This is understandable because it is a very difficult calculation to do, it requires very advanced tools and knowledge around the subject to make detailed calculations. With this master thesis, we want to compare prefabricated buildings with different materials from an environmental perspective with a focus on the carbon dioxide. The different materials we are comparing are steel and tree. The purpose with this master thesis is to create a basis for Riki AB so that they will have a better sight on the environmental impact from their steel prefabrications which is shipped from China and this will be done with a comparison between a Swedish traditional half prefabricated apartment building. The first step for the thesis has been a literature study and interviews about the subject. The obtained literature study consists of rapports, relatable thesis, analysis and digital internet sources. The interviews were implemented with companies which were knowledgeable of prefabrication and materials, this was done to get a deeper understanding of the materials effects of the environment. The result of this examination results that the prefabricated apartment buildings made of steel from China has a larger carbon dioxide emission compared to the Swedish half prefabricated apartment buildings made of tree.

Tese de Mestrado em ArquitecturaNesta breve reflexão proponho-me entender e dissertar sobre conceitos que me apoiarão no desenvolvimento do projecto final de mestrado, que se debruçará sobre o tema da habitação evolutiva no bairro da Cova da Moura. Este é um bairro informal que se desenvolve na periferia da cidade de Lisboa e apresenta características singulares evidenciadas na sua dimensão espácio-temporal, caracterizada por espaços complexos e diversos, com identidade cultural própria, dos quais a comunidade local se apropria vivendo-os harmoniosamente. A elevada densidade populacional, a prática da auto-construção e a espontaneidade da distribuição das actividades são, assim, pontos cruciais que criam uma imagem pouco usual do bairro e que define um gosto associado a uma estética singular, produto da arquitectura popular que se adapta às condições do local, promovendo a reciclagem urbana. Proponho, para concluir, que olhemos a cidade informal como exemplo potenciador de sociabilidades e que, ao invés de destruirmos o seu tecido urbano original submetendo-o a transformações urbanísticas que não favorecem a apropriação pela comunidade, estimulemos a contaminação da cidade formal por essas relações sócio espaciais que se desenvolvem na cidade informal. Penso que esta é uma solução ao alcance de todos que permite suturar a ruptura entre as partes e encher de vida a cidade.
In this brief discussion I propose to understand and develop concepts that will support the final draft of the Master, that will look into the issue of housing in the evolutionary neighborhood of Cova da Moura. This is an informal neighborhood that develops in the outskirts of Lisbon and has unique features in its spatial-temporal dimension, characterized by complex and diverse spaces, with its own cultural identity, of which the local community appropriates them harmoniously. The high population density, the practice of self-construction and spontaneity of the distribution of activities are crucial points that create an unusual image of the neighborhood and that defines a like associated with a unique aesthetic, a product of popular architecture that fits site conditions, promoting urban recycling. In conclusion, we look the informal city as an example of sociability and that instead of destroying the original urban tissue by subjecting it to urban transformations that do not favor ownership by the community, nurture the contamination of the city by these relationships developed in the informal city. This is an affordable solution that allows all suturing the rupture between the parties and fill the city with life.

Full textAbstract:
The regulations that form the basis of the construction sector not only hamper productivity, but also quality, innovation and customer focus. They counteract change by being too regulated and the result is similar in that everyone must relate to the same industry standard and the same framework in the form of rules. Apartments have had a steady rise in prices over recent decades, statistics suggest that the price of apartments in recent years was higher than ever before. The majority of Sweden's residents living in apartment buildings today live in rental apartments, which is because of the simple reason that purchasing an apartment is expensive and a large sum of money is required to be able to afford a down payment. Many of the homes that are built today are produced on market terms with limited options. This results in newly produced homes being targeted at those with a good income and low-income earners being given lower priority. Apartments with a lower standard are produced in Russia, among other places, where the customer completes the apartment according to taste. This degree project has been carried out in collaboration with Bonava AB with the aim of investigating how much can be waived from completing in a newly produced flat before the approved final decision. Furthermore, it has been investigated how the time required and the final cost of the project are affected, as well as the customer's benefits through the introduction of the Naked Flat concept. Eleven respondents were interviewed in the study and calculations were performed on a cost estimate and schedule. With the introduction of Naked Flat, the construction cost was reduced by 7,76 percent and the project time was reduced by 38 days. The lower price is justified by the fact that the apartment is delivered in a simpler design where the customers can complete it themselves according to their own wishes and needs. Naked Flat gives the customer more options about design and the chance to put their own personal touch through color and material choices. Furthermore, the reduced project time means that the customer gets access to the apartment earlier. The completion of the apartments can be regulated in such a way that it relates to sustainable housing through agreements and partners as well as the potentially reduced use of materials.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse s’intéresse aux capacités des citoyens, en France, à agir collectivement et à impulser des productions « alternatives » de leur cadre de vie et de leur cadre habité. Fondées largement sur une critique des modes de production conventionnels, ces démarches en proposent un dépassement dans une perspective de mutualisation et de solidarité. Si elles se réclament d’expériences étrangères, elles s’inscrivent en même temps dans la poursuite d’un débat tant idéologique qu’opérationnel qui a parcouru le XX° siècle sur la participation des habitants à la production de l’habitat. En portant notre regard sur une série d’initiatives qui ont émergé au début des années 2000, nous analysons leurs modalités de structuration, d’organisation collective et d’interpellation de l’action publique. Ces mobilisations qui sont portées par des acteurs associatifs, politiques et institutionnels construisent ainsi le Monde de « l’habitat participatif ». Pour mieux saisir ce mouvement contemporain, nous nous sommes penchée sur l’héritage des expériences françaises de l’habitat groupé autogéré de la fin des années 1970. L’approche diachronique de l’enquête questionne les niveaux de filiation entre les initiatives d’hier et celles des années 2000. Cette analyse montre comment s’organisent ces militants et les stratégies qu’ils adoptent pour faire entendre leur revendication. Elle met en évidence les mécanismes d’élaboration d’une question publique et son traitement par des acteurs institutionnels. Cette thèse contribue à l’analyse de la transformation de l’action publique et questionne les capacités de co-construire et de dialogue entre initiative militante et acteurs institutionnelsThis thesis focuses on the capacity of citizens to collectively promote “alternatives” in terms of living and housing environments in France. Grounded in a broad critique of conventional modes of production, the study suggests ways of transcending these modes through social processes such as sharing and solidarity. Although many such experiments have occurred outside of France, they are linked to ongoing twentieth century ideological and operational debates about resident participation in the construction of their own housing. By closely examining a series of initiatives in the early 2000s, the present study analyzes how they were organized and structured and how they generated public action. Under the auspices of housing associations and political and institutional organizations, these mobilizations have collectively supported the construction of a World of “participative housing.” In order understand this contemporary movement in an historical perspective, the study has also investigated the legacy of self-managed housing projects in France in the late 1970s. This diachronic approach helps to critically appraise relationships between earlier initiatives and more recent examples in the early 2000s. The study demonstrates how activists organized themselves; it analyses the strategies they used to ensure their demands would be heard. It highlights the mechanisms through which this public issue was created and describes its reception by a range of institutional actors. This thesis contributes to an analysis of the transformation of public action. It questions the capacities to co-construct and to drive a dialogue between activist initiatives and institutional actors

Purpose: Today the amount of Eco labelled multi-family houses are increasing. The Nordic Swan is a well-known certification that has grown a lot when it’s comes to certifying multi-family houses in Sweden. Unlike other well-known ecolabels there are not many studies done on the Nordic Swan. By studying the certification, and its establishment, in two large projects the goal of this study is to pinpoint weaknesses in the process of attaining the Nordic Swan and then make improvement proposals.Method: In order to provide improvement proposals, a qualitative study was chosen. A study of literature and a document analysis is the foundation of the study by taking theoretical aspects into account, within the Nordic Swan and multi-family housing. The chosen qualitative method is also based on semi structured interviews. The interview respondents were selected as: two production supervisors, a site manager, a quality and environmental coordinator, a project manager and a project developer. All respondents are working daily with the projects, characterized by the Nordic Swan. The different persons were chosen to obtain a high validity of the study. To further increase the validity and its reliability, respondents were given back the empirical data so that they could make further comments and revisions. Reliability was assured by providing well-designed questions.Findings: The goal refers to improvements with the certification, propelling to new knowledge, within the area of the subject. The empirical investigation shows recurring problems with the product database within the certification, seen from the respondent’s experiences of working with the Nordic Swan in projects. They’ve informed about challenges that comes with respective working process. The certification is solid and gives a qualitative product, but has a time-consuming learning process. Overall, the respondent’s focused on the way of working with the ecolabel and the organisations way of managing the product database, both for an older and a new version.The improvement proposals that results from an analyzation of interviews concerns the communication between the Nordic Swan and its customers, how the Nordic Swan’s product database can improve when future versions releases and how the ecolabel could accomplish a greater eco-impact to the projects by promoting “green innovations”.Limitations: The study is limited to the application of the Nordic Swan in multi-family housing in two large projects. As the guidelines in the process do not differ between companies, the result can be considered general. Retrieving information from even more companies on the other hand could have resulted in a more accurate overall result.Implications: The drawn conclusion from the thesis is that the result creates opportunities for improving the certification process. It can also be used to get more companies to use the Nordic Swan. It provides an opportunity for both companies and individuals to farm an understanding regarding the certification.Kvarteret Mars, Kolla Parkstad.

Full textAbstract:
Industrialization of construction is a business strategy to significantly improve competitiveness. However, the organization structure of the construction firms needs to support the new production system. The knowledge on why and how this business development can be accomplished is scarce, both within academia and in business practice. This research seeks to fill this knowledge gap. The purpose of organization structure and the production system have is to coordinate the firm’s processes and control the work performing resources. Information is one of the most fundamental dimensions for steering and controlling the work. The different information types are determined by the firm’s product customization strategy and the production system flexibility. Further, diverse information types are managed in different extent by the organizational steering mechanisms. Consequently, firms with dissimilar customization strategy or production flexibility should organizationally be designed differently in order to be efficient. The developed model identifies four generic production topologies: “engineer-to-order” (ETO), “manufacture-to-order” (MTO), “assembly-to-order” (ATO), and “make-standard-products” (MSP). The differences between the topologies can be related to the location of the “customer-order-decoupling-point” (CODP) in the product realization process; and to what extent the upstream and downstream processes continuously use stored information or process information to accomplish the work of each product order. The model predicts which organization structure mechanisms that should be used for which processes for each production topology. It is the specific configuration of the mechanisms that gives each production topology their organizational capability. The model has been validated by case studies in four organizations, each representing one of the four generic production topologies. Three cases considered housing and one studied truck manufacturing. It has been shown that the conventional housing firms have an ETO-production topology, while industrialized housing firms belonging to one of the others, i.e. MTO, ATO or MSP. The reason is that ETO-firms rely on crafts-based production to manage the work, while the other topologies base their steering mechanisms on industrial principles. These two types of production are fundamentally different, which also explain the need for different organization structures. The research complements previous knowledge and significantly increases the ability to predict, analyze and explain an organization’s design and behavior. The model can be used in practice to guide business development work and performance improvement programs.Research funder: SBUF (The development fund of the Swedish construction industry).

En transférant aux pouvoirs publics la capacité de décider l'emploi de la Participation des employeurs à l'effort de construction (PEEC), la loi de mobilisation pour le logement et la lutte contre l'exclusion du 25 mars 2009 a transformé en profondeur l'organisation du 1 % logement. L'objet de la recherche est de mettre en lumière les facteurs à l'origine d'une telle inflexion. Pour cela, l'analyse s'efforce d'explorer le passé de l'institution afin d'en extraire les éléments à même d'éclairer cet épisode récent. Elle montre que les mécanismes à l'origine de la transformation du 1 % logement – processus ancien et graduel dont la réforme de 2009 constitue la dernière manifestation en date – alimentent deux dynamiques qui influent historiquement sur la forme du gouvernement et la production des règles relatives à l'emploi des fonds du 1 % logement. La dégradation de la légitimité de l'institution, conséquence de l'impuissance des syndicats à développer une capacité de représentation dans le secteur du logement, entraîne une remise en cause de la présence des acteurs paritaires à la tête de l'institution. L'émergence au sein de l'Etat d'une volonté de reprendre en main le dispositif, effet indirect du tournant opéré pendant les années 1980 dans la conduite de l'action publique, se traduit par le transfert sur le 1 % logement d'une part croissante du coût de la politique du logement en substitution au budget de l'Etat. Dans un contexte marqué par la crise du syndicalisme et le renforcement de la contrainte budgétaire, la permanence de ces deux processus interroge aujourd'hui sur la capacité du 1 % logement à conserver un espace d'intervention dans la politique du logementBy transferring to public authorities the capacity to decide on the employment(use) of the Participation of the employers in the effort of construction ( PEEC), the law of mobilization for the accommodation(housing) and the fight against social exclusion of March 25th, 2009 transformed in depth the organization of the housing 1 %.

As empresas construtoras de empreendimentos habitacionais de baixa renda no Brasil têm sido impulsionadas a implementar Sistemas de Gestão da Qualidade (SGQ) em função de exigências de certificação por parte de órgãos financiadores deste segmento de mercado, envolvidas no Programa Brasileiro de Qualidade e Produtividade no Habitat (PBQP-H). No entanto, observa-se, ainda, a presença de muitas falhas de qualidade nos empreendimentos de baixa renda, apesar da certificação obtida pelas construtoras. Por outro lado, tendo implementado um SGQ, muitas empresas possuem dados sobre as falhas incidentes em seus produtos, através de registros obtidos por exigências dos próprios requisitos normativos. O objetivo deste trabalho consiste em propor melhorias no processo de controle da qualidade de empreendimentos habitacionais de baixa renda, utilizando para tanto registros de falhas nos produtos. Neste sentido, foram analisados empreendimentos que pertencem aos dois programas de provisão habitacional, o Programa de Arrendamento Residencial (PAR) e o Imóvel na Planta, ambos gerenciados pela Caixa Econômica Federal. A pesquisa foi dividida nas seguintes etapas: (a) revisão bibliográfica; (b) estudo exploratório para identificação da estrutura e funcionamento do sistema de gestão da qualidade de uma empresa construtora; (c) realização de estudos de caso em duas empresas construtoras de empreendimentos habitacionais de baixa renda, envolvendo a caracterização do processo de controle da qualidade nos seus empreendimentos e a análise de falhas de qualidade; (d) proposta de melhorias no processo de controle de qualidade. As principais contribuições da pesquisa estão relacionadas com o processamento de dados de registros de falhas. Este processamento possibilita a caracterização do comportamento das falhas e o estabelecimento de uma priorização das mesmas, utilizando ferramentas de fácil aplicação. A partir dos registros de falhas arquivados pelas empresas construtoras foi possível identificar oportunidades de melhorias para o processo de controle da qualidade, considerando as lacunas existentes neste processo que permitem a ocorrência das falhas.The construction companies working on low-income housing projects in Brazil have been encouraged to implement Quality Management Systems (QMS) due to the demand for certification from funding organizations in this market segment, involved in the Brazilian Program for Quality and Productivity in the Habitat. However, there are still a large incidence of quality failures in low-income housing projects, despite the certification obtained by construction companies. By contrast, due to the implementation of QMS, many companies have data about the incidence of failures in their products, obtained from records in accordance with the normative system requirements. The objective of this study is to propose improvements in the quality control process of lowincome housing projects, using records of product failures. It was based on the study of projects from two housing provision programs, the Residential Leasing Program and the Blue Print Housing Program, both managed by the National Savings Bank. This research work was divided into the following stages: (a) literature review; (b) exploratory study on the structure and functioning of the quality management system of a construction companies; (c) two case studies in low-income house building companies, involving the characterization of the quality control process and the analysis of the main quality failures; (d) proposal for improving the quality control process. The main contributions of this study are related to data processing regarding quality failure records. This data processing enables the characterization of failure modes and the establishment of priorities, using fairly simple tools. Based on the failure records of the construction companies, it was possible to identify improvement opportunities in the quality control process, considering gaps in this process, that allow the occurrence of failures.

Full textAbstract:
I Sverige råder det för närvarande bostadsbrist. En alternativ lösning till nyproduktion är förtätning av befintliga områden genom att omvandla outnyttjade utrymmen till hyresrätter. På uppdrag från SABO har arbetet gått ut på att studera framgångsfaktorer och metoder för omvandling av outnyttjade utrymmen till bostäder för allmännyttiga bostadsföretag. Målet var att sammanställa tidigare erfarenheter för att se hur de kan tillämpas av andra fastighetsbolag inom allmännyttan. Valda undersökningsaspekter blev strategi, organisation, process och samarbeten. Undersökta bolag MKB Fastighets AB och AB Stångåstaden valdes på rekommendation från SABO medan stiftelse Bodenbo erhölls genom en nationell enkät. Näringsdepartementet har utvecklat ett ändringsförslag till plan- och byggförordningen som kallas återbostadisering. Detta förslag innebär att ytor som omvandlas i befintliga bostadshus inte ska behöva leva upp till nybyggnadsstandard utan endast en standard som motsvarar övriga bostäder i byggnaden. Förslaget har undersökts för att se om den kan underlätta omvandlingar av det slag som utredningen berör. Framgångsfaktorer: Samarbeten: Öppna dialoger I tidigt skede ta kontakt med samarbetspartnern Skapa tydligt samarbete med stadsbyggnadskontor Skapa god kontakt med hyresgästerna Upprätta ett samarbete med secondhandbutiker Omvandlingsprocess: Tydlig målsättning Inventera utifrån miljösynpunkt Släpp omöjliga projekt Välj entreprenad efter förutsättningar och mål Kommunikation Användning av ramavtalsupphandlade hantverkare Planprocessen kan undvikas Strategi: Etablerad och tydlig strategi Nyttjande av befintliga fastigheters tillbehör Kommun som ställer krav Inventera hela beståndet Rätt person till rätt uppgift Angelägenhetskänslan Ok att inte sträva efter nybyggnadsstandard Rätt åtgärder efter förutsättningar i beståndet Organisation: Tydlig ansvarsfördelning Rätt kompetens Resultaten pekar på att denna typ av omvandlingar är genomförbara över hela landet för allmännyttiga bostadsföretag. De omvandlade bostädernas kvaliteter upplevs som goda och med karaktär. Standarden kan variera beroende på målsättningen. Den allmänna uppfattningen som skapades av återbostadiseringsförslaget var positivt eller neutralt men med liten tilltro att det skulle skapa en stor effekt för framtida omvandlingar.In Sweden there is currently housing shortages. An alternative solution to new production is densification of existing areas by converting unused spaces into rental housing. On behalf of SABO, our goal has been to study success factors and methods for converting unused spaces into housing for public housing companies. The aim was to compile previous experiences to see how they can be applied by other real estate companies in the public sector. Selected research aspects where strategy, organization, process and cooperation. The studied companies MKB Fastighets AB and AB Stångåstaden were chosen on the recommendation of SABO while the foundation Bodenbo was obtained through a national survey. The Ministry of Industry has developed an amendment to the Planning and Building Regulation called Återbostadisering. The proposal entails that surfaces converted into existing residential buildings should not live up to new building standards but only to the standard that corresponds to other apartments in the building. The proposal has been investigated to see if it can facilitate conversions of the kind affected by the report. Collaboration: Open dialogs Contact cooperation partners in an early stage Create clear collaboration with city-building offices Create good contact with the tenants Establish a collaboration with secondhand stores Conversion Process: Clear goals Inventory based on environmental considerations Choose a contract according to conditions and goals Communication Use of framework contracted craftsmen Avoid the planning process Success factors: Strategy: Correct actions according to conditions in the stock Ok not to strive after new-building standards Creating a sense of meaning Drop impossible projects Right person to the right task Inventory of the entire stock Demands by the Municipality Usage of existing property accessories Established and clear strategy Organization: Clear division of responsibility Use staff with the right skills The results point out that this kind of conversions are feasible across the whole country for public housing companies. The qualities of the converted housings are perceived as good and having characteristics. The standard may vary depending on the goals set up by the company. The general perception created of the proposal Återbostadisering was positive or neutral, but with little confidence that it would create a major effect for future housing conversions.

Full textAbstract:
Kostnaden för nyproduktion av hus i Sverige har ökat markant under de senaste åren. Byggföretag har svårt att hålla både projektens löptid och kostnader nere, vilket resulterat i ett ökat marknadspris och ett växande missnöje bland slutkunder. De ökade kostnaderna beror enligt forskning på vanligt förekommande slöseri i form av såväl material som arbetskraft. I försöken att eliminera slöseri har många företag anpassat sin verksamhet efter Lean Thinking, ett system som härstammar från den japanska bilindustrin, bestående av verktyg och metoder med huvudsyfte att identifiera och eliminera slöseri. Ur detta har även nya former av byggnation fångat marknadens intresse. Industrialiserat byggande är en metod som förflyttat stora delar av verksamheten från byggarbetsplats till prefabricering i fabrik och på så sätt eliminerat många av de slöseri och riskmoment som förknippas med det traditionella synsättet på byggnation. Studien lägger fokus på hur arbete med Lean Thinking och prefabricerat byggande kan avhjälpa de kostnadsproblem som branschen ställs inför på dagens marknad. Genom en fallstudie har vi beretts möjlighet att på nära håll studera för- respektive nackdelar med ett prefabricerat byggande, samt fått möjlighet att studera en organisation där verksamheten utgår från Lean Thinking. Studien visar att det genom Lean Thinking och prefabricerat byggande går att minimera vanligt förekommande slöseri inom byggbranschen. Utförandetiden för prefabricerat byggande är också mycket kortare än vid traditionellt byggande och på så vis hålls kostnaderna nere. Genom att ytterliga utveckla prefabricerat byggande enligt Lean Thinking skulle det vara möjligt att i större utsträckning minimera slöseri och möjliggöra ett ännu smartare byggande.The costs of house construction in Sweden have increased conspicuously over the last years. Construction companies have a hard time maintaining low project lead-times as well as keeping costs within the financial plan, which in turn has affected market price and created a growing discontent amongst buyers. Research indicates that the increased production costs are in many ways caused by the large amount of waste, in form of materials and labor, which is common within today’s construction projects. Efforts to eliminate waste has led many companies to adapt Lean Thinking, a system with roots in Japanese car manufacturing industry, containing tools and methods designed to identify and eliminate all kinds of waste. From all this, new ways of construction has been introduced on to todays market. Industrialized housing is a relatively new concept, which has eliminated a lot of waste and risks by moving construction away from an on-site project into prefabrication within factories. This study focuses on how Lean Thinking adaptation and industrialized construction can help lowering construction costs. A case study has given us the opportunity to follow an industrialized construction project up close, as well as the opportunity to study an organization that has implemented Lean Thinking. The study shows that it is possible to reduce common waste within construction industry through Lean Thinking and industrialized housing. The project lead-time for industrialized housing is also much shorter compared to traditional construction methods and therefore the costs are kept low. By continuing to evolve industrialized housing through Lean Thinking it would be possible to further reduce waste and consequently enabling an even smarter way of construction.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: Industrial built modular housing is an off-site construction type, which means the modules are built in a factory and transported to the building site for assembly. The modules are built on an assembly line in a standardized and rationalized process. The modular building system has potential to lower the housing shortage, since it is more time and cost effective compared to traditional construction types. The disadvantage with the modular housing industry is that you often see poor exterior design results, due to the lack of flexibility in the system. Facades can be repetitive and have too large proportions. Therefore, the purpose of the work is to get an understanding of how the quality of exterior design can be improved in modular housing, by answering (1) How is the correlation between exterior design and modular building described by architects in the industry? (2) What are the restrictions for exterior design in modular housing? (3) How can the quality of exterior design in modular housing be developed, in regards to the restrictions of the building system? Method: A literary study is performed to identify the main restrictions and also the possibilities of development for modular housing. Combined with the literary study, interviews are being held with six respondents from the industry. The respondents explain their view on the correlation between exterior design and the modular building system. The interviews are also studying different buildings where the respondents have been involved. Findings: The technical restrictions are mainly the size of the modules due to transporting requirements and the joints between them. The ability to adjust to them are limited by the budget of the project. The projects tend to be more cost-oriented, rather than focusing on architectural quality and therefore the exterior design is suffering. To create good modular houses that give something back to the city, there must be a change in the industry. Contractors and the municipalities are the most important participants in this process. Implications: The biggest improvement possibilities that can make the most change in the future are; competition on the market, ambitious contractors, process and product development, higher municipal requirements and also new technical solutions that provide good design to a lower price. Limitations: The result is limited to only exterior design in the modular housing industry, focusing on multi-family housing on the Swedish market. The study is a general analysis and does not go into depth on each problem. It is more meant to be a guideline to where the problem areas exist.Syfte: Industriellt byggda volymhus är färdiginredda volymer som tillverkas i fabrik, som transporteras till byggplats för montage. Volymelementen tillverkas på ett löpande band i en standardiserad och rationaliserad process. Detta byggsystem kan bidra till att minska rådande bostadsbrist, då det är mer kostnads- och tidseffektivt jämfört med traditionella byggsystem. Man ser dock exempel på att den exteriöra utformningen blir lidande, på grund av den begränsade flexibiliteten som byggsystemet medför. Fasader kan exempelvis upplevas som enformiga, till följd av upprepningar av geometrier och för stora huskroppar. Därför är målet med arbetet att få förståelse för hur kvaliteten av den exteriöra utformningen av industriellt byggda volymhus kan utvecklas, genom frågeställningarna; (1) Hur beskrivs samverkan mellan exteriör utformning och industriellt byggande, av arkitekter i volymhusbranschen? (2) Vilka begränsningar finns vid volymhustillverkning för exteriör utformning på flerbostadshus? (3) Hur kan man utveckla utformningen av exteriören på volymhus, med hänsyn till de förutsättningar som industriellt byggande medför? Metod: En litteraturstudie genomförs för att identifiera huvudsakliga begränsningar samt utvecklingsmöjligheter för tillverkning av volymhus. Tillsammans med litteraturstudien genomförs intervjuer där sex respondenter från volymhusbranschen som förklarar sin syn på samverkan mellan god kvalitet på exteriör utformning och det industriella byggsystemet. I intervjuerna studeras även referensobjekt där den aktuella respondenten varit involverad. Resultat: De tekniska begränsningarna är i huvudsak transport som styr storleken på volymen, samt skarvar som kopplar ihop dem. Anpassningen till dessa styrs av den projektspecifika budget som är satt. Dessa tenderar att vara orienterade efter lönsamhet snarare än hållbar arkitektur, och därmed blir den exteriöra utformningen ibland bortprioriterad. För att skapa volymhus av hög kvalitet som ger mervärde till sin omgivning, krävs en kollektiv förändring i branschen. Beställare och kommuner är nyckelaktörer och de som främst kan göra skillnad. Konsekvenser: De största utvecklingsmöjligheterna som kan ge förändring för framtiden är; konkurrens på marknaden genom ambitiösa beställare, fokus på process- och produktutveckling, högre kommunala krav samt nya tekniska lösningar som möjliggör för bättre lösningar till lägre pris. Begränsningar: Resultatet är avgränsat till exteriör utformning i volymhusbranschen, med avseende på flerbostadshus på den svenska marknaden. Studien är en övergripande analys och går inte ner på djupet för specifika problem, utan är snarare en vägledning till var problemområden finns.

Pettersson, Henrik, and Adam Thörn. "The Kiruna town move : Unearthing the possibilities for full-scale fire tests." Thesis, Luleå tekniska universitet, Byggkonstruktion och brand, 2021. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:ltu:diva-83048.
Full textAbstract:
The work with this thesis started during the last semester at the Fire Protection Engineering program at Luleå University of Technology. Kiruna has relied on the iron ore resources of Luossavaara and Kiirunavaara since the creation of the town. The iron ore stretches underneath the current city center. Therefore, some of the housings have to move northwest. The consequences of the town move are that some of the current housings will be demolished after the government owned mining company LKAB has bought the estates. This thesis aims to research the possibilities of performing fire tests in theses abandoned housings. Full-scale fire tests are usually expensive and therefore it is of substantial importance that the performed tests are meaningful. A meaningful full-scale fire test, in the author’s opinion, is defined as: The goal has to be well defined with a structured definition of what should be achieved. The test should aim at over-bridging knowledge gaps in the fire engineering science. The test should not be suitable executing for a laboratory environment. Earlier performed fire tests and scientific papers where studied to identify possible knowledge gaps. Four main topics where identified: FDS validation and computer modeling Passive fire protection system in old buildings Load bearing systems Façades and exterior claddings Two field inventories were conducted during 2016-2017. Some objects had a cultural value and were therefore excluded. The authors have decided to only include objects deemed interesting. However, these objects are just a small amount of the buildings affected by the move. The majority of the buildings identified as suitable for fire tests are high-rise residential buildings. These were found suitable for most of the identified topics. The number of buildings with large open spaces, large ceiling heights and atriums was small. The environmental requirements and permits required for performing fire tests were studied as a part of the thesis. The County administration of Norrbotten is in charge of these legal matters. The authors conclude that the authorization process may be lengthy and complicated but feasible. The authors’ conclusion is that the probability of performing full-scale fire tests are low. The lack of complex buildings, difficulty in extracting accurate, reliable data and high costs are some of the reasons.Detta examensarbete påbörjades under den sista terminen vid brandingenjörsprogrammet på Luleå tekniska universitet, höstterminen 2017. Kiruna har sedan staden grundades alltid varit beroende av de järnmalmsfyndigheter som finns Loussavaara och Kiirunavaara. Den järnmalmsåder som löper från Kiirunavaara sträcker sig under stadens befintliga stadskärna. Delar av staden kommer därför att flyttas i nordvästlig riktning. Stadsflytten medför att delar av stadens bebyggelse kommer att köpas upp av det statliga gruvdriftsbolaget LKAB som sedan river fastigheterna. Arbetet syftar till att undersöka möjligheten att utföra brandförsök i dessa tomma fastigheter. Försök i full skala är mycket kostsamma vilket medför att det är eftersträvansvärt om brandförsöket är meningsfullt. Ett meningsfullt brandtest i full skala definierades av författarna som följande: Målet som försöket ska uppnå och vad som ska mätas är tydligt definierat Försöket ska överbrygga eller syfta till att överbrygga kunskapsglapp inom brandforskningen Försöket ska inte vara lämpligt att utföra in en laboratoriemiljö För att uppnå kravet avseende kunskapsglappet undersöktes tidigare brandförsök och vetenskapliga tidskrifter. Fyra huvudspår identifierades: FDS validering och datormodellering Passivt byggnadstekniskt brandskydd i äldre byggnader Lastbärande system Fasader och fasadbeklädnader Inventeringen gjordes i två omgångar under 2016 och 2017. Vissa objekt sållades bort på grund av dess kulturhistoriska värde. Inventeringen visar de objekt som författarna finner intressanta sett till ovanstående men representerar bara ett urval av alla de byggnader som evakueras i samband med flytten. Sett till de byggnader som under inventeringen identifierades som lämpliga för brandförsök utgörs de flesta av höga bostadshus. De höga bostadshusen bedömdes som lämpliga för samtliga identifierade huvudspår. Byggnader med stora öppna ytor, höga takhöjder eller atrium förekom ej förutom i ett fåtal fall. Som en del i arbetet undersöktes de miljötillstånd som krävs. Länsstyrelsen i Norrbotten som är den instans som beviljar eller avslår tillstånd. Författarna bedömer processen som omfattande men genomförbar. Sannolikheten för försök i full skala i samband med stadsflytten bedöms som låga. Bristen på komplexa byggnader, svårigheten i att extrahera exakta och tillförlitliga mätvärden samt den höga kostnaden medför att det är svårt att driva projektet så långt att det leder till försök i full skala.

Full textAbstract:
Syfte: Bostadsbristen drabbar alla, i framtiden måste vi utforma bostäder och stadsdelar som främjar social-, ekonomisk- och ekologisk hållbarhet. Flytande bostäder har dessa egenskaper men har svårt att etablera sig i Sverige. Studien syftar till att utreda möjligheter och problem som finns för flytande bostäder i Sverige. Metod: Studien har en genomgående kvalitativ karaktär. Metoderna är semistrukturerade intervjuer, observationer och dokumentanalys. Respondenter är myndigheter, fastighetsägare och entreprenörer. Resultat: De återkommande problemområden som hittades var ekonomi, juridik och teknik. Oro för tekniska lösningar nämndes enbart av respondenter som saknade erfarenhet av flytande bostäder. Det som skiljer en flytande bostad från en på mark är att dragningar för el, vatten och avlopp dras i vattnet samt att flytanordning och dess anslutning till fast mark tillkommer. Att bygga på vatten blir inte nödvändigtvis dyrare jämfört med att bygga på land. Det är osäkerhet och oerfarenhet som kan göra att färdigställandet av en flytande bostad dyr. Det område som anses vara det största hindret är juridiken. Bygglovsprocessen är längre på grund av att det finns fler regelverk och myndigheter inblandade. Rent konkret är det den svenska lagstiftningen för strandskydd, vattenverksamhet och detaljplanering försvårar processen för flytande bostäder. Konsekvenser: Genom att ge kommuner större frihet i exploatering av marken kan genombrottet för flytande bostäder i Sverige underlättas. Detaljplaneringsarbetet behöver inkludera vattenområden för att underlätta bygglovsansökan. Det behövs fler referensobjekt för att den flytande bostaden inte ska ses som främmande och för att ge en större kännedom om flytande hus. Idag förknippas flytande bostäder med lyx och inte som ett bidrag i lösningen på bostadsbristen. Begränsningar: Studien avser Sverige som geografisk region. Respondentsgrupperna som intervjuats är myndigheter, entreprenörer och fastighetsägare och därför är resultatet talande för endast dessa kategorier, likväl som ett fåtal respondenter från dessa grupper talar för dess majoritet. Ett skissförslag, kalkyl eller konkreta lagförslag ingår inte i rapporten och anses därför vara förslag på vidare forskning. Nyckelord: Alternativa boendelösningar, alternativ markanvändning, boende på vatten, bostadsbrist, flytande bostäder, strandskyddet, stadsutvecklingPurpose: The housing shortage affects everyone and in the future, we have to think about social, ecologic and economic sustainability in architecture and urban planning. Floating houses has the potential to satisfy all these requirements but in Sweden they have a hard time to settle as a concept. This study aims to investigate the possibilities and setbacks for floating homes in Sweden. Method: The methods of research in this investigation is qualitative. The collection of empirical data is done through semi-structured interviews, observation and analysis of documents. Findings: The biggest problem areas that we discovered was economy, law and technical solutions. Worry about the possible technical problems was only put forth by respondents who had little or none experience in working with floating homes. The main technical differences between a floating home and one on dry land is that the plumbing goes in the floating device instead of the ground, the connection between the house and the floating device and that a floating property doesn´t need any groundwork done. The cost of a floating house is often similar to one on dry land. The economic issues are uncertainty and inexperience, these factors can make the construction of a floating house more expensive. The area that contains the most problems for floating houses is the juridical. The process of getting a building permit is longer due to the extra number of laws and agencies involved. Implications: Municipalities needs bigger freedom in deciding land exploitation to make it easier for floating houses to be an established concept in Sweden. The detailed development plan needs to include water areas. Another thing that will help is more completed projects, more projects for reference means more knowledge about the concept, instead of it being seen as just a luxury. Limitations: The investigation refers to Sweden as the geographic region. We interviewed respondents from agencies, entrepreneurs and property owners and the answers can only be seen as representative for those groups. Sketches of a floating home, a deeper calculation of the economy and precise law changes are not included in the thesis and are therefore suggestions for further research. Keywords: Alternative housing, alternative land use, floating houses, housing shortage, living on water, shoreline protection, urban development.

Bostadsbehovet är väldigt stort i Stockholm. Landstingets prognos visar att vibehöver bygga ca 16,000 bostäder årligen för att täcka upp behoven.Radon som tränger in i våra bostäder är en stor hälsorisk då 500 personerdrabbas av lungcancer varje år till följd av höga radonhalter i bostaden.Detta tror vi kan minskas med rätta metoder.Syftet med denna rapport är att jämföra de olika tekniska lösningarna somfinns idag för att minimera radonhalterna i våra bostäder, samt att se om vikan komma fram till en ev. förbättring.De metoder vi har använt oss av är framförallt litteraturer samt intervjuermed en konsult som är specialiserad inom just ämnet radon.Det som styr inträngning av radon i bostäder är grundläggningsmetoder. Entorpargrund ventilerar sig självt, men en platta på mark behöver man ta tillåtgärder som är säkra och har en lång livstid.De två lösningar vi presenterar här är bort ventilering av radonhaltig luft, ochett plastmembran som placeras under grunden vilket förhindrar att radontränger upp i våra hus.The housing requirement is very large in Stockholm. The county council'sforecast shows that we need to build about 16,000 homes annually to coverthe needs.Radon that penetrates our homes is a major health risk when 500 peoplesuffer from lung cancer each year due to high radon levels in the home.This we think can be reduced by the right methods.The purpose of this report is to compare the various technical solutionsavailable today to minimize the radon levels in our homes, as well as to see ifwe can reach a possible. improvement.The methods we have used are mainly literature and interviews with aconsultant specializing in the subject radon.Above all, the founding method is of great importance to radon's intrusion inthe homes. A village ground is ventilating itself, but a plate on the groundrequires measures that are safe and have a long lifespan.The two solutions we present here are the removal of radon-containing air,and a plastic membrane underlying the ground that prevents radon frompenetrating into our houses.

Full textAbstract:
This research determined the preferred project delivery method utilized by campus planners when building student housing on a university campus. Four key performance indicators were also evaluated to determine if they influenced the campus planner to select a particular project delivery method. The four key performance indicators were: owner input, cost, safety, and on-time completion. Campus planners identified though the Society for Campus and University Planners (SCUP), were invited to participate in this survey research method. Five research questions were explored in this study. They were:
1. What is the preferred project delivery method (PDM) when building a residence hall on a college campus?
2. Do key performance indicators influence a campus planner’s choice of preferred project delivery method?
3. Does the preferred project delivery method differ by the number of beds?
4. Does the preferred project delivery method differ geographically?
5. Does the preferred project delivery method differ between public and private institutions?
Based on the survey findings, analyzed using SPSS, sufficient information was garnered from the data to allow responses to the five research questions. In sum, there was a significant preference on the part of campus planners for the construction management at risk project delivery method when building student housing. This finding was consistent across regions and between public and private institutions. The design-bid-build project delivery method was the preferred approach when building student housing of less than 200 beds. Key performance indicators were shown to have little influence on the decision regarding which project delivery method to choose.

Full textAbstract:
This bachelor thesis is about chemical products from the construction industry which are being used by the company Bostads AB Mimer (Mimer), owned by the municipality Västerås in Sweden. The company owns apartments and houses around the city. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to do a simplified risk assessment of the chemical products from a health and environmental point. The report also gives suggestions of substitutional products. The thesis work consists of a literature study, an analysis of how other companies within the housing sector are working with chemical products and a case study, in addition to the simplified risk assessment. The case study contains a selection of Mimer's chemical products. In order to succeed with the simplified risk assessment, the chemical product’s risks and hazards has been identified through safety data sheets (SDS). Different aspects have been taken into account in the simplified risk assessment. The selection of the chemical products were made after existence frequency and legislative product labeling. The report's results gave 16 selected chemical products, that are risk assessed. Of the 16 chemical products, eight products have a high risk score from a heath point. Suggestions of less hazardous chemical products are given to nine chemical products. The essay's conclusions are that some of the selected chemical products are hazardous to the health and the environment, due to their chemical substances. The staff at Mimer's has a high frequency of use of the chemical products in general. Most of the other companies in the housing sector that were investigated in the analysis, had a systematic work on chemicals.

O presente estudo tem por objeto a organização do trabalhador do setor habitacional da Construção Civil em cooperativas de trabalho. Partimos dos pressupostos do cooperativismo - constituição democrática, autogestão, vantagens fiscais em relação a outros tipos de empresa e predileção do Estado prevista em lei -, para compreender quais características do modo de produção capitalista do setor interferem na formação, organização do trabalho e inserção no mercado das cooperativas de trabalhadores. Para tanto, buscamos compreender as razões da formação e da manutenção de uma base manufatureira de produção no setor - pautada na divisão intelectual e na precarização do trabalho e suas possíveis influências e distorções na organização do trabalho no sentido original de uma cooperativa. Também analisamos a atual organização do mercado de trabalho - marcada pela sub-contratação, terceirização de serviços e conseqüente suspensão de direitos trabalhistas adquiridos - buscando entender como o capital tem se utilizado das cooperativas e de seus princípios organizacionais. Por fim, levantamos possibilidades emancipadoras do trabalhador cooperativado na Construção Civil, bem como o papel que caberia ao arquiteto nesse processo.The object of this study is the organization of the labour force of the house building sector in cooperatives. We started with the principles of cooperative work democratic constitution, self management, lower taxes than in other enterprises, and State support established by law -, to understand which characteristics of the capitalist mode of production interfere with the formation and the organization of labour and the insertion of the cooperatives in the market. To this effect, we sought to understand the reasons of the formation and upkeep of a production basis in manufacture of this sector based on the intectual division and precarious nature of labour and their eventual influences and distortions in labour organization in the original sense of a cooperative. We also analised the current organization of the labour market wrought by sub-contracting, outsourcing and consequent suspension of labour rights trying to understand how capital uses the cooperatives and its principles. Finally, we surveyed the emancipatory possibilities of cooperative work in the building industry, as well as the role Architects in this process.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail de recherche doctorale interroge les modes de construction et l'accessibilité financière à l'habitat. Il est centré sur une recherche prospective de nouveaux modes de production d'un habitat économique qui valorisent les ressources du territoire, en l'occurrence celui de la Saône-et-Loire, et privilégient un développement local. À une époque où les enjeux d'attractivité d'un territoire sont autant liés à l'emploi qu'à la qualité de vie que l'on peut y trouver, la question de l'habitat est majeure. Le développement d'un habitat attractif, économiquement accessible et qui favorise les filières locales, en plus de réduire l'empreinte écologique du secteur de la construction, participerait au développement économique du territoire. Ceci oblige à explorer de nouvelles solutions, notamment en termes de modes de production et d'utilisation des ressources locales. Dans un premier temps, l'analyse des enjeux, potentiels et freins du territoire s'est fondée sur des enquêtes de terrain menées auprès d'acteurs et d'entreprises locales, croisées avec des références extérieures. Au regard de cette phase exploratoire, la deuxième étape s'est fondée sur une réflexion prospective. Il s'agissait de comprendre et éclairer les possibles, de faire émerger des pistes pour d'autres formes et d'autres modes de production de l'habitat. Ces pistes se traduisent en propositions de principes organisationnels, architecturaux et constructifs. En termes de valorisation, plusieurs étapes de ce travail ont fait l'objet d'expositions et de conférences dont l'objectif était double. Il s'agissait, d'une part, de communiquer avec les acteurs locaux sur l'avancement de la recherche et de diffuser auprès du grand public des exemples de réalisations architecturales remettant en question la conception traditionnelle de l'habitat, tout en valorisant les ressources locales, et, d'autre part, d'amorcer une discussion, un débat avec les acteurs locaux afin d'affiner l'analyse et les propositions avancées en intégrant leurs apports à la réflexion, dans une démarche itérative.

Alors même que les grandes priorités de la question du logement (loger, construire et habiter différemment, habiterl'existant, crises et contraintes) tendent à converger et à s'agréger à la charnière du changement de siècle, de nouvellesproblématiques, regroupées sous celle plus globale du développement durable, émergent et (ré)interrogent la productionde la ville. Les promoteurs immobiliers privés sont alors interpellés et mobilisés afin de répondre à cette nouvelleproblématique qui devient même prescription à la suite du Grenelle de l'environnement (2007). Les problématiquesde la durabilité proposent dès lors aux acteurs privés de la fabrique urbaine de se projeter sur une ligne de déclinaisonlogement-bâtiment-quartier-ville et à y opérer des allers-retours afin de répondre à la transversalité des composantes dela durabilité. D'un premier temps consacré au traitement énergétique du bâtiment et de son enveloppe, des promoteursse positionnent peu à peu à l'échelle du quartier durable et de la ville durable. Deux terrains d'études, l'écoquartierbordelais Ginko et la reconversion de l'entrepôt Macdonald, proposent d'éclaircir un pan encore peu approprié parla bibliographie : le portage privé d'opérations de quartiers durables. L'éclosion de l'urbanisme durable ouvre unedeuxième vie à ces deux opérations. Elle ouvre également de nouvelles opportunités aux acteurs privés pouvant opérerun balancement entre les échelles de la durabilité et en mesure de se projeter à l'échelle du quartier. Ce point derencontre, établi par une convergence d'intérêts communs entre acteurs publics et privés, permet alors aux promoteursaménageursde se poser comme force de proposition dans l'édification de quartiers durables.

Alors que la conscience environnementale pourrait être largement compréhensible et partagée par le plus grand nombre, les émissions de gaz à effet de serre, de polluants et de déchets ne cessent de croître. Notre habitat et les transports en sont les plus grands contributeurs. Le développement durable tend à fournir les bases d’un modèle de croissance pérenne de notre planète, mais aujourd’hui reste marginalement intégré au logiciel stratégique appliqué par les personnes, les organisations et les décideurs.La baisse des moyens d’État engendre une prégnance de l’intervention des groupes privés dans la fabrique de la ville. Le processus de production par la segmentation des interventions, la complexité, l’asymétrie d’informations et de compétences et son modèle économique sous-jacent rend complexe la prise en compte d’une réelle durabilité, mais notre habitat a une réelle influence sur notre devenir.L’habitat, son lieu, sa forme, sont des vecteurs importants de l’équité au sens de la justice sociale et donc du ‘vivre ensemble’. Mais le développement durable tel que pratiqué par les marchés reste rare et cher. Une évolution de la chaîne de valeur de l’immobilier peut permettre une réduction significative du coût de la construction et du prix pour rendre suffisamment abordable les logements. Nous avons identifié des variables d’ajustement et évalué leur impact. Une approche réellement durable contribue à supporter la démographie en adaptant nos modes de vie, tend favorablement au développement des individus, des entreprises et des institutions par la co-construction de valorisations et de (bonnes) pratiques, lesquelles restent largement à définirTitle: Human living and urban transitions to sustainability: the Gordian knot of construction costs in the case of sustainable real estate or Digital technologies necessary for the evolution of the real estate value chain towards sustainability.While environmental awareness could be widely understood and shared by as many people as possible, emissions of greenhouse gases, pollutants and waste continue to grow. Housing and transportation are the biggest contributors. Sustainable development tends to provide the foundation for a sustainable growth model of our planet, but today remains marginally integrated in strategies applied by people, organizations and policy makers.The fall in state resources is giving rise to the intervention of private groups in the fabric of the city. The production process by the segmentation of the interventions, the complexity, the asymmetry of information and skills and its underlying economic model makes complex the taking into account of a real durability, but a house has a real influence on our potential of becoming.Our living, its place, its form, are important vectors of equity in the sense of social justice and thus of a 'living together'. But sustainable development as practiced by the markets is rare and expensive. We have identified adjustment variables that can make the cost of housing accessible. An evolution of the real estate value chain can lead to a significant reduction in the cost of construction and the price to make housing affordable enough. Sustainability can help support demographics by adapting our lifestyles, while positively contributing to the development of individuals, businesses and institutions through the co-construction of (good) practices, particularly in investments that remain largely to be define
