Abstract:
This thesis includes a study and research on project management, time management and motivation. Study and research starts with the introduction of management techniques and tools and continues with the case study. Case study is a restoration project time management of Farabi building in Nicosia, North Cyprus. Techniques and tools which learned and researched for project management, time management and motivation adapted on Farabi building restoration project which held in 2017. With that, a new case study created from the scratch by using all of these knowledge with a proper discussion.

Abstract:
The principles of organization theory are applied to the organization of construction projects. This is done by proposing a framework for modelling the whole process of building procurement. This consists of a framework for describing the environments within which construction projects take place. This is followed by the development of a series of hypotheses about the organizational structure of construction projects. Four case studies are undertaken, and the extent to which their organizational structure matches the model is compared to the level of success achieved by each project. To this e

Abstract:
The modern construction industry has undergone several changes since the introduction of Building information modelling (BIM). Mistakes that occur repeatedly and inevitably in the design and construction process could be controlled to a greater extent with the introduction of BIM. But using BIM for existing building has been a challenge. The usefulness of BIM is further challenged by features and interoperability issues with the lack of a user-friendly interface. Thus, many research opportunities when creating economical and automated BIM of existing buildings achieve a certain level of BIM ma

Prior research suggests that the use of such an incompatible management approach is likely to lead to poor performance. Indeed, problems in managing refurbishments have been identi
