Abstract:
The significant increase in Indonesian construction sector activity nowadays is also influenced by government financing for infrastructure projects. Therefore, the government needs to ensure that the infrastructure projects are consistently constructed along the project life-cycle. Phases of the infrastructure project life-cycle implemented in the Ministry of Public Works and Housing consist of 1) planning, 2) selection of service providers, 3) construction processes, and 4) construction product hand-over. Data collection using three rounds of Delphi Study was undertaken to empirically test the level of implementation of the project life-cycle indicators, which are used as standards to construct infrastructure projects. The respondents of the studies came from sectors who were executing infrastructure projects in the areas of Cipta Karya, Bina Marga, Sumber Daya Air, and Penyediaan Perumahan. The results of the studies concluded that the sectors have understood and implemented most of the indicators, however, different levels of implementation have existed along with the barriers of the implementation. From the studies, profiles of the execution of infrastructure project life-cycle were provided as references for the government to evaluate the performance of the sectors, as well as to take corrective actions to improve their performance.

Abstract:
The analysis of the accumulated long-term experience in the construction and operation of high-rise buildings reveals not only the engineering specificity of such projects, but also systemic problems in the field of project management. Most of the project decisions are made by the developer and the investor in the early stages of the life cycle - from the acquisition of the site to the start of operation, so most of the participants in the construction and operation of the high-rise building are far from the strategic life-cycle management of the project. The solution of these tasks due to the informatization of management has largely exhausted its efficiency resource. This is due to the fact that the applied IT-systems automated traditional "inherited" processes and management structures, and, in addition, they were focused on informatization of the activities of the construction company, rather than the construction project. Therefore, in the development of high-rise buildings, the tasks of researching approaches and methods for managing the full life cycle of projects that will improve their competitiveness become topical. For this purpose, the article substantiates the most promising approaches and methods of informational modeling of high-rise construction as a basis for managing the full life cycle of this project. Reengineering of information interaction schemes for project participants is considered; formation of a unified digital environment for the life cycle of the project; the development of systems for integrating data management and project management.

Abstract:
Waste generation is a major issue faced by construction projects. Construction waste has adverse effects the time, cost, productivity and economy of the industry. There are different causes of waste generation in different countries of the world. An extensive literature was carried out to identify the common factors of construction waste generation which resulted in identifying 59 common attributes. Through structured interview data was collected to classify the attributes on different stages of construction project lifecycle. A total of 15 experienced practitioners were interviewed classify the attributes into different stages of project life i.e. planning, design, construction and finishing. Frequency analysis of the perception of the practitioners showed that there are 25 attributes in planning stage, 9 in design stage, 53 in construction stage and 5 in finishing stage. From the findings it can be seen that construction stage is the critical stage in which 53 attributes are occurring. This study shows that the practitioners need to be very careful during construction phase for controlling construction waste generation.

Abstract:
La industria de la construcción está fragmentada debido a la gran cantidad de Pequeñas y Medianas Empresas (PYMEs) y la multitud de fases que forman parte de un proyecto. Desde siempre, esta situación ha provocado una serie de problemas en la gestión de proyectos y concretamente en la gestión de los procesos de comunicación e información.

La mayoría de PYMEs a nivel de gestión de proyectos necesitan poder gestionar y compartir los documentos de la empresa. Esto se consigue trasladando las aplicaciones básicas del PC y utilizando un servidor como pueden ser los Sistemas de Gestión Documental Electrónicos (SGDE). Estas herramientas centralizan la información específica de una empresa en un entorno cómodo y accesible, permitiendo a los usuarios que almacenen, accedan y modifiquen la información.

Además, las grandes empresas, que frecuentemente adoptan las Tecnologías de la Información (TI) precozmente, piden a las PYMEs que trabajan con ellas que adopten sus mismos sistemas de gestión. Actualmente, las opciones más utilizadas por las grandes empresas para la gestión de proyectos son las herramientas web como los entornos colaborativos, herramientas diseñadas para almacenar y gestionar la información de los proyectos. Aplicaciones relativamente sencillas permiten que un grupo de gente como ingenieros, arquitectos y clientes controle el acceso a la información y automaticen su diseminación. El desarrollo y uso de estas herramientas requiere unos recursos técnicos, financieros y humanos mínimos.

El punto de partida de esta tesis es una encuesta realizada a varias PYMEs del sector de la construcción en España, con el objetivo de obtener una idea general de la metodología de trabajo de estas empresas y de sus posibles problemas o deficiencias en relación a la gestión documental.

Desde el punto de vista de las PYMES, el principal reto de los entornos colaborativos sigue estando en la falta de estandarización en la organización de los documentos y la ineficiencia en el flujo de información entre las distintas fuentes (documentos almacenados en los sistemas de gestión documental de cada una de las empresas y aquellos almacenados en el entorno colaborativo).

La solución propuesta para esta ineficiencia y el objetivo de esta tesis es crear una herramienta para mejorar tanto la gestión documental interna de las empresas como la externa. Este Sistema de Gestión Documental para la construcción crea automáticamente la estructura de carpetas para cada proyecto específico para poderlo descargar en el servidor de cada una de las empresa y en el entorno colaborativo que es esté usando para la gestión del proyecto con su consiguiente mejora del almacenaje de documentos e interacción e intercambio de la información.

Para ello, inicialmente se define el flujo de información entre las distintas partes involucradas en un proyecto y se genera un Modelo Conceptual para el Flujo de Información. El objetivo es obtener toda la información relacionada con cualquier documento a lo largo del ciclo de vida del proyecto.

Además, cuando se trabaja con entornos colaborativos compartiendo documentos e información, todos los participantes deben usar los mismos estándares de trabajo. Esta tesis proporciona también una Guía para la Gestión Documental a través de Entornos Colaborativos para unificar los distintos procesos de trabajo de todas las empresas involucradas en el proyecto. Esta guía es aplicable a cualquier proyecto de cualquier magnitud, complejidad y duración. La codificación, organización y control de documentos, y fechas de publicación son algunos de los aspectos que trata esta guía.

Finalmente, se evalúa el sistema a través de distintos académicos que verifican su contenido y consistencia. Se valida también el sistema mediante una encuesta.

Este sistema servirá para demostrar a todos los participantes en un proyecto de construcción que una buena gestión documental es imprescindible para conseguir los objetivos del proyecto.
The construction industry is fragmented due to the many Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and phases involved in a construction project. This fact has led to well documented problems with project management and concretely communication and information processing.

What most SMEs require in terms of project management is the ability to manage and share the company's documents. This is achieved by removing certain core applications from individual PCs and running them on a server such as an Electronic Document Management System (EDMS). Such tools should centralise the information specific to the organisation in an easily accessible environment, allowing users to store, access and modify information quickly and easily.

On the other hand, large companies, often early adopters of IT, demand that SMEs that work with them adopt the same management systems. Currently, the most popular option used by larger companies for the project management is web based tools such as Web based Project Management Systems (WPMS) that are applications designed to store and manage project information. Quite simply project collaboration applications allow disparate groups of people such as engineers, architects and clients to control access and automate dissemination of information. The most WPMS used in the construction sector is to rent a completely developed WPMS from an Application Service Provider (ASP) for a usage fee. The development and operation of this option require a minimum of technical, financial and human resources.

The start point of the thesis is survey carried out in several SMEs in the construction sector in Spain in order to acquire a general idea of their working methodologies and the deficiencies on document management.

From the SMEs standpoint, the main challenge of WPMS still lies within the lack of a standardized document organization and the inefficiency of the information flow from different sources (Documents stored in their EDMS and those stored in the WPMS).

The suggested remedy for this inefficiency and the aim of this thesis is to create a tool to improve both internal and external document organization. This Life cycle Document Management System for Construction automatically creates a folder structure for each specific project to be download into each company's server and into the WPMS which is being used for the project management. This folder structure will be the same to the folder structure of the WPMS with the consequent improvement of document storage, interaction and exchange of information between all the actors working in the same construction project.

To do this, the flow of information between the different parties involved in a construction project is mapped out and a Concept Model for Information Flow is designed to store all the documentation of a construction project and its metadata throughout the life cycle of the project. Different approaches are analyzed to obtain the most accurate solution.

Moreover, when these actors are working with WPMS sharing documents all the stakeholders should have the same working standards. This thesis also provides a Guidelines for Document Management through WPMS to unify the different working processes of all the companies involved in the project. These guidelines are applicable to projects of varying complexity, size and duration. Document codification, organization of folders and documents, publication dates, documentation control, and so on, are some of the aspects that these guidelines are oriented to.

Finally, the system is submitted for criticism and evaluation by several academics with the aim to verify its contents and consistency. A survey is also carried out in 30 SMEs out of a variety of project types, sizes, values, and Project Management utilized to validate the system.

The system will serve as a demonstration for all the participants in a construction project that a good document management is basic for the fulfilment of the project objectives.

Abstract:
Although stakeholder management has long been acknowledged as a means of increasing the propensity for successful delivery of construction projects, the full benefits of stakeholder management have yet to be tapped. Previous research efforts indicate lack of comprehensive stakeholder management process since the existing frameworks in construction either focussed on a particular construction stage or failed to incorporate important considerations such as the impact of procurement routes, internal stakeholder collaboration, responsibility for stakeholder management and project life cycle. This research aims to develop a comprehensive framework for stakeholder management in construction projects in order to enable the industry tap the full benefits of stakeholder management. In order to achieve this aim, previous work on stakeholder management is reviewed. The current practice of stakeholder management within the construction industry, the effects of procurement routes and contract forms on stakeholder management process, the relationship among the critical success factors for stakeholder management in construction projects are investigated using an industry survey among construction professionals practicing within the United Kingdom. Data collected is analysed using a combination of qualitative approach and appropriate statistical techniques including structural equation modelling (SEM) to investigate the current practice of stakeholder management in construction projects, effects of procurement routes and contract conditions on stakeholder management process, and the interrelationships among the critical success factors for stakeholder management in construction projects. Based on a combination of the findings from literature review and data analyses, a life cycle based framework for stakeholder management in construction projects is developed using Integrated Defiinition0 (IDEF0) modelling. The framework is validated by practising industry professionals and is identified as a comprehensive guide to construction industry practitioners for carrying out stakeholder management in construction projects.

Abstract:
The nature of the construction industry and the complexities accompanying the sector of the economy globally, necessitates that role players review their positions continuously in an effort to stay abreast of the most modern best practice value chain developments, not only in terms of relationships formed within the upstream supply chain (client supply chain), but also within the downstream supply chain (main contractor/supplier supply chain). Not only is it a natural phenomenon for role players to shift their focus from best practise value chain development to a more relaxed state during a boom in the global economy, but also to shift their focus back to best practices during a slump in the global economy, in order to protect their margins and competitive position established during economic prosperity. To this extent, this dissertation offers an overview of the core aspects that cause misalignment between the objectives of the role players in the construction industry as well as the critical need for role players to proactively shift their paradigm in an effort to mitigate any potential effects the economy might have on role player relationships as well as on the productivity of the industry and the supply chain. Chapter 1 provides the overview, the problem statement and the primary and secondary objectives of the study, and in particular, achieving alignment of the objectives of the role players in a typical construction project. This is followed by a detailed literature study in chapter 2 that provides information regarding role player relationships and the alignment of objectives in the construction industry. This is supported by an empirical study in chapter 3 that links the practical state of affairs with the literature study. The dissertation then concludes by introducing recommendations and a generic project strategic model that can be implemented in an effort to achieve alignment of the objectives of the role players in a typical construction project.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Democratic systems are dependent on voluntary compliance of citizens to the commands of governments. A decline of public confidence in the public sector is an indicator of fundamental problems in the nature of a democratic system. Constitutional objectives and supporting legislation in South Africa advocates the practice of public participation through the Community Based Public Works Programme and integrated development planning at local council level. The importance of public participation as a vehicle to enhance the social capital of nations cannot be overstated. There are various opinions however of what model of public participation is best suited to the life cycle approach of project management. The literature supports the fact that social capital formation curtails the incidence of crime, poverty and other adverse social evils. A misaligned approach to the application of public participation holds the danger that the socio-economic objectives of government cannot be attained. In this regard, project managers have a responsibility towards government to apply public participation in their projects in such a way that formation of social capital is achieved. In tum, governments should endeavour to apply an appropriate amount of resources to these initiatives to get the critical mass necessary to turn the economy around.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Demokratiese sisteme is afhanklik van die vrywillige onderwerping van landsinwoners aan die eise van hul regerings. 'n Afname in die publiek se vertroue in die publieke sektor is 'n indikator van fundamentele probleme in die samestelling van 'n demokratiese bestel. Konstitusionele mikpunte asook ondersteunende wetgewing in Suid Afrika is bevorderlik vir die gebruik van publieke deelname deur middel van die Departement van Publieke Werke se Publieke Deelname Gebaseerde Program asook die geintegreerde ontwikkelingsprogram van lokale munisipaliteite. Die belangrikheid van publieke deelname as 'n middel waardeur nasionale sosiale kapitaal bevorder kan word kan nie onderbeklemtoon word nie. Daar is nogtans verskeie opinies ten opsigte van watter model van publieke deelname gebruik moet word in die lewenssiklus benadering van projekbestuur. Die literatuur ondersteun die feit dat sosiale kapitaal die voorkoms van kriminele aktiwiteit, armoede en ander negatiewe sosiale euwels bekamp. 'n Ongebalanseerde benadering tot die toepassing van publieke deelname hou die gevaar in dat die nasionale sosio-ekonomiese mikpunte nie behaal sal word nie. Projekbestuurders het daarom 'n verantwoordelikheid teenoor die staat om publieke deelname sodanig in projekte te fasiliteer dat sosiale kapitaal daardeur bevorder kan word. Die staat moet op hulle beurt weer sorg dat daar genoegsame hulpbronne aan hierdie inisiatiewe spandeer word om die kritiese massa te skep wat nodig is om die ekonomie te draai.

Abstract:
In this thesis, a framework is constructed for a life cycle assessment within a civilengineering project. There are various methods available on how to conduct lifecycle assessments and this thesis explores one method related to civil engineeringworks. The assessment follows the structure based in related standards such asEN 15804 which describes how to declare construction products. A working copyof a possible upcoming European level standard for sustainability assessment ofcivil engineering works is also used in the process. The object of assessment arethe materials, concrete and steel, in the retaining walls that are constructed alongthe channel near Södertälje Harbour. This is a part of a larger project, called theMälar Project.The life cycle of these type of constructions often stretches over long periodsof time which leaves a lot of uncertainties while estimating the impacts during thelater life stages. The research problem is much about how to handle the differentmodules of the life cycle regarding civil engineering works.Example data were collected and presented for each module of the life stage.The results of the example data showed that most of the impact came from theproduct stage. The conclusions are that the collection of data should be an integratedpart in the operating procedures for the company for a more efficientprocess, Environmental Product Declarations are a good source of data and standardson European level gives good guidelines on how to conduct a life cycleassessment for civil engineering projects.
I detta examensarbete konstrueras ett ramverk för hur en livscykelanalys kan utförasinom väg- och vattenbyggnad. Det finns många olika riktlinjer för hur enlivscykelanalys kan utföras och i detta examensarbete utforskas en metod för projektinom väg- och vattenbyggnad. Arbetet följer strukturen ur EN 15804 sombeskriver hur man bedömer byggprodukter. Ett arbetsexemplar av en ny, möjligstandard på Europanivå för miljöbedömning av projekt inom väg- och vatten användsockså i processen. Det som bedöms via livscykelanalys i denna studie är deingående materialen, stål och betong, i hållväggarna som byggs längs med kanalenvid Södertälje Hamn. Detta är en del av ett större projekt, kallat Mälarprojektet.Livscyklerna för denna typ av projekt är oftast väldigt långa vilket skapar enosäkerhet i data då påverkan för senare delar av livscykeln behöver uppskattas.Problematiken som presenteras handlar mycket om hur modulerna för livscykelnska behandlas för denna typ av projekt.Exempeldata samlades in för de olika modulerna och presenterades i tabellersom täcker alla relevanta delar av livscykeln. Resultatet av exempeldatan visadeatt den mesta påverkan kom från produktstadiet. De slutsatser som dras är attinsamlingen av data bör vara en integrerad del av företagets arbetsmetod fören effektiv process, miljödeklarationer är en bra källa till data och standards påEuropanivå ger bra guidelinjer för hur en livscykelanalys kan utföras för liknandeprojekt.

Abstract:
Sustainable construction projects are expanding in the market and green codes andstandards are advancing giving the ground for development of technology and materialsapplied. With every new material and technology utilised in the field, also risks aregrowing. The importance of risk management in sustainable construction projects isthus increasing and more experience and expertise is needed. So, the purpose of thisthesis is to examine and gain deeper understanding of project related risks in sustainableconstruction projects in Swedish companies operating in built environment. It is crucialto gain knowledge of good practices within the industry to be able to propose furtherinvestigation of the subject that could improve the existing risk management andsustainable construction project goals.This thesis examines the existing theory of the risk management process and sustainableprojects by shedding light on the trends within the construction industry. The intentionof the thesis is to add value to the existing gap in the theory that suggests thatconstruction industry is exposed to more risks and uncertainty than perhaps otherindustries, and that introducing sustainability adds more uncertainties and risks. Thisphenomenon is claimed to be due to the lack of knowledge and experience in the areaand, thus, practitioners seek for new ways how to tackle the arising issues. This thesisattempts to display how Swedish companies who are working with green and highperformance buildings identify and deal with risks.Two Swedish companies operating in built environment were chosen in order toinvestigate different ways of dealing with risks and the trend of sustainability inconstruction. Those in charge of risk and sustainability within the companies wereinterviewed applying semi-structured interviews and additional information wasgathered through multiple sources, such as annual reports, web pages and otherdocuments. This thesis has exploratory and qualitative research design and appliesabductive approach for the purpose and the nature of phenomena.The findings showed the different tools how risk management is applied in thecompanies and how it is related to the risks faced in green building construction. Theresults showed the importance of tools applied tackling sustainable construction projectsthat companies have applied and added to their processes in order to manageuncertainties that could occur if these processes were not implemented. As regards thegeneralisability towards findings, there still could be added more companies and futureresearch could imply also maturity of the companies to make findings more precise.However, after consideration of the processes learnt from companies, the proposedmodel for achievement of successful sustainable construction projects can be followedand applied in other companies operating in this industry.

Abstract:
In this thesis a future-world case was undertaken of the life cycle assessment (from cradleto grave) of a single-family house. The house is expected to be constructed by the end of2021 in Borlänge, a city located in Dalarna County. The aim of this study is to investigatewhether the building materials in external walls and roof surpass in terms ofenvironmental impacts compared with other building materials suggested by the authorsof this thesis.Six scenarios were evaluated in terms of the environmental impacts for two buildingelements, external wall, and roof. A base case scenario is taken into consideration foreach building element, considering the fact, that the thermal performance characteristicsof the building materials are comprehensively provided. Consequently, four scenarios aredetermined by the authors.One Click LCA program was used to calculate the environmental impacts of thebuilding materials through the lifecycle of the house during a time horizon of 50 years.Hemp fiber insulation material is planned to be used in the external walls; thus, it isconsidered the baseline case for this thesis. The first study is corresponded to the externalwalls, and it was found that glass wool insulation is more environmentally friendly thanhemp fiber and rock wool insulation.Wood material is planned to be used in the roof; thus, it is considered the baseline casefor this thesis. The second study is corresponded to the roof, and it was found that woodmaterial is more environmentally friendly than concrete and steel.Therefore, the suggested material by the authors surpasses the baseline case materialenvironmentally in respect of external walls, but this was not the case regarding the roof.

Abstract:
PERBACCO (a free Italian acronym for Life-cycle Performance, Innovation and Design Criteria for Structures and Infrastructures Facing Æolian and Other Natural Hazards) is a research project partly funded by the Italian Ministry for University (MIUR) in the PRIN (Progetti di Ricerca di Interesse Nazionale) framework, for the years 2004-05.Within the project, a first attempt has been made to integrate different disciplines aiming at an overall optimization of the performance of a wide range of wind exposed structures and infrastructures, with consequent benefi cial impact on the society.The overall objectives were (a) to provide unifi ed concepts for "expected performance" and "risks induced by æolian and other natural hazards", to be applied to structures and infrastructures over their whole life-cycle, such to be acceptable to stakeholders in the construction process (i.e. from the owner to the end-user), (b) to provide models and methodologies for dynamic monitoring of the performance of structures and infrastructures, to be integrated in appropriately designed procedures, and (c) to collect, refi ne, fi le and disseminate the knowledge available on a European basis, concerning the performance of wind-exposed structures and facilities, in a way such to be of use to Construction Industry. This volume summarises the main results obtained during the Project, with each Section addressing a different class of problems, to which many research Units have contributed. A list of papers containing the main results of the research activities carried out within the Project is also provided in each Section.

Abstract:
This special report discusses the outcomes of a September 2019 workshop intended to identify barriers to the consideration and implementation of natural and nature-based features (NNBF) in US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) civil works projects. A total of 23 participants representing seven USACE districts, the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), and the University of California–Santa Cruz met at USACE’s South Atlantic Division Headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, to discuss how to facilitate the implementation of NNBF into USACE project planning for wetlands and reefs using six categories: (1) site characterization, (2) engineering and design analysis, (3) life-cycle analysis, (4) economic analysis, (5) construction analysis, (6) and operation and maintenance (and monitoring). The workshop identified seven future directions in wetland and reef NNBF research and development: • Synthesize existing literature and analysis of existing projects to better define failure modes. • Determine trigger points that lead to loss of feature function. • Identify performance factors with respect to coastal storm risk management (CSRM) performance as well as ecological performance. • Focus additional research into cobenefits of NNBF. • Quantify the economic life-cycle costs of a project. • Improve technology transfer with regards to NNBF research and topics.

Abstract:
All structures in Switzerland - that is, all buildings, roads, infrastructure constructions and so on - consume over their entire life cycle around 50 % of Switzerland's final energy requirement. They are also responsible for around 30 % of emissions of the greenhouse gas CO2. In recent decades, the energy requirements and CO2 emissions resulting from the use of such structures have fallen sharply. However, the grey energy contained within the structures as well as the CO2 emissions associated with the construction, renovation and demolition of buildings, remain high. There is great potential for improvement here. The joint project “Low energy concrete” provides an important basis for transforming the construction industry into a sustainable sector. It primarily focuses on the building material concrete, which is responsible for an especially high amount of grey energy and significant CO2 emissions. The results of this joint project are summarised and interpreted in this synthesis on “Sustainable Concrete Structures”. The chief objectives of the joint project were as follows: CO2 emissions and grey energy are reduced by drastically decreasing the amount of clinker in the cement. Grey energy is reduced by replacing reinforcing and prestressing steel in concrete structures with wood and plastic. The service life of the structures is extended by professional monitoring and adequate renovation measures; this reduces the average annual grey energy and CO2 emissions. The research work shows that the CO2 emissions caused by concrete and concrete structures can be reduced by a factor of 4, while the bound grey energy can be decreased by a factor of 3.
