Abstract:

Clients within the construction industry have become more aware of benefits that exist and can be reached when going through a major construction project, benefits that invite for efficiency improvements both during construction and its prophases. New methods of execution and their different advantages are evaluated. This change has opened the door for new business models such as Construction Management (CM) but it also demands the contractors to adapt and come up with more client-customized methods. The thesis goes further into the question of when to use which execution method and describes

Abstract:

Cost overrun is prevalent in the construction industry. Usually, an owner sets a budget at the preliminary phase of a project which changes over time. Past studies are focused on analyzing the cost growth of design-bid-build projects during construction. Limited efforts have been made to analyze details of projects delivered with the Construction Manager General Contractor (CM/GC) method. This study tracks and analyzes the construction cost variation of a project from the conceptual phase to the design completion phase. The analysis is presented with a case study of a new stadium construction

Abstract:

Over the last few decades, construction project performance has been evaluated due to the increase of delays, cost overruns and quality failures. Growing numbers of disputes, inharmonious working environments, conflict, blame cultures, and mismatches of objectives among project teams have been found to be contributory factors to poor project performance. Performance measurement (PM) approaches have been developed to overcome these issues, however, the comprehensiveness of PM as an overall approach is still criticised in terms of the iron triangle; namely time, cost, and quality.

Abstract:

Complexity has been identified, in both literature and practice, as a critical project characteristic that needs to be managed to improve project delivery. Many authors have argued that complexity accounts for some of the delays and cost overruns experienced on projects. Within the construction industry, there has been a shift from procuring many, but smaller projects by clients, to few but large contracts, in response to the demand for more integration and one-stop responsibility. The characteristics of such projects have been found to be interdependent, non-linear, dynamic and uncertain. Pro

Estimating and bidding a job is one of those essential processes at the heart of a contractor's business. Risk and uncertainty are major considerations in bidding decisions for construction projects.

The present study focuses on developing multi-criteria decision making models to assist in bidding decisions. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), which is a multi-criteria decision making tool, is used to quantify risk encountered in bidding decisions. The AHP has been employe

In the increasingly competitive market, innovation has become important if not crucial for entrepreneurial survival. The construction industry, although argued to be a bit behind, is catching on.

The aim of this study is therefore to investigate the implementation process of innovation in a construction organisation’s projects.

Abstract:

This research develops a Fuzzy Multi-Attribute Analysis (FMAA) model to select the most appropriate contractors for Engineering-Procurement-Construction (EPC) projects. It will enable EPC project owners to eliminate the over-reliance on subjective contractor selection and risks associated with incomplete information, imprecise data and vagueness in human decision making. With the combination of fuzzy set theory and multi-attribute analysis, this model addresses the fuzzy nature in human decision making and helps EPC clients achieve the best value of the contract.

There is an increasing need to reduce energy consumption to tackle the adverse effects of climate change. The UK government has established numerous directives and policies to encourage carbon dioxide (CO2) emission and energy reduction within the non-domestic sector. However these measures are primarily focused towards reducing operational energy (i.e. energy used during building occupier activity), largely overlooking initial embodied energy. The trend towards reduced operational energy consumption due to energy efficient design is leading initial embodied energy to become a more significant

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立臺北大學<br>法律專業研究所<br>95<br>When a construction job is contracted, contractors usually transfer some parts of the work to sub-contractors. So sub-contract work is a common practice in the construction business. It is expected that contractors pay sub-contractors based on a predetermined agreement. But in reality, contractors sometimes default on payments to the sub-contractors even if the contractors are paid by the owner of the construction job.

The transactional aspects are characterised by the contractual approach and procurement design that bind the project part

Recently, the factors that affect this system were changed so much, including the construction environment, the revising decrees and rules etc. So this system became hard to proceed nowadays.
