Full textAbstract:
A discussion is presented of how environmental and community issues affect project planning and development, and ideas are presented on how to proactively manage the environmental compliance process to capitalize on the flexibility and advantages of a turnkey approach and at the same time reduce the potential for major project risk factors to jeopardize successful project implementation. On the basis of the experience of traditional and turnkey projects during the project development process, major project risk factors (cost, delay, and public relations risks), which need to be identified and acknowledged as early as possible in the project development process, are explored. Mechanisms to compensate for these risk factors need to be developed and incorporated into the design of the turnkey procurement process. Assigning responsibility for environmental management functions to the parties best equipped to resolve the issues likely to arise at each stage of the development process is also important. Whereas reactive environmental management exposes projects to high levels of risk and has the potential to jeopardize attainment of turnkey objectives, proactive environmental management has the potential to support the turnkey concept by reducing the risks associated with environmental issues.

Bangladesh is a country of potentialities. Power plays a vital role in the economic development of the country. So the economic development is not possible without power development. No exclusive research work has been so far study. Hope that the country will be benefited with its development. Uninterrupted, safe and adequate power supply is a pre- requisite for the development of the country. Presently, to overcome the capacity limitations of generation, transmission and distribution sector, different programs have been taken. To address these issues, Tongi 80 MW Gas Turbine Power Station has been installed. This power station will not only play an important role to meet the demand but it will also contribute significantly in reducing overloading of Tongi Grid sub station, low voltage problem of the adjacent areas, technical losses of the system and will ensure quality power supply in the capital city.

Himalayan geology poses special attention and tunneling challenges, which are associated to the engineering geological conditions in the rock mass. Completing tunneling project within scheduled contractual time is an issue to be carefully brainstormed and planned by a very competent project management team. This team work is especially a key demand for the projects built under turnkey contract having fixed performance guarantees, completion milestones and contract sum. This is because, delay in construction completion will bring huge contractual penalties and extra cost to the contractor and is, therefore, a management headache to the project team. Hydropower projects consisting long underground waterways system passing through varying geological ground conditions may hinder achieving targeted milestones due to uncertainty associated to the geological risks. This paper present Khimti I Hydropower Project (60 MW) that has 10 km long underground waterway system, one km long access tunnel, many construction Adits and an underground powerhouse. The project was constructed under a turnkey contract called KC2 contracts with main civil contractor responsible for both design and construction implementation of the project. The construction quality was guaranteed through several contractual performance tests listed under the KC2 contract. This article attempts to review on the way the geological ground condition has influenced in the completion milestone of the project and highlights on what are the key issues that must be carefully accessed before accepting a turnkey contract for hydropower project with long underground waterway systems.HYDRO Nepal JournalJournal of Water, Energy and EnvironmentIssue: 19Page: 17-24

Full textAbstract:
Delays and cost overruns in turnkey projects can lead to significant economic losses, disputes and even project abandonment. These facts negatively impact the environmental, social and governance (ESG) policies of companies involved in the project. In this paper, a bibliographic review was conducted to identify the leading causes of delays and cost overruns in turnkey industrial projects in the refining, gas and conventional electricity generation (RGE) sector and propose good practices to avoid or mitigate them. We identified 893 causes of delays and cost overruns and 147 mitigation measures. The causes and mitigation measures were grouped into eight categories based on the execution phases of an RGE project. A critical analysis was carried out to avoid duplication, and the result was evaluated by experts in turnkey project management, reducing the causes and mitigation measures to a final set of 103 and 49, respectively. The construction category showed the most significant influence on project delays and cost overruns, and this, together with the preliminary phase and project management categories, contributed to 60% of the identified causes. The findings of this study can help project managers improve the profitability of turnkey industrial projects, promoting innovation and sustainability within companies and society.

Full textAbstract:
More extensive personalized product requirements and shorter product life cycles have put forward higher requirements for the rapid establishment, commissioning, and operation of corresponding manufacturing systems. However, the traditional manufacturing system development process is complicated, resulting in a longer delivery time. Many manufacturing enterprises, especially small and micro enterprises, may not have the necessary manufacturing knowledge or capabilities to meet these requirements. Therefore, it is essential to promote the construction of turnkey projects under the paradigm of Industry 4.0, parallelizing and integrating the existing manufacturing system development process based on mass manufacturing equipment to quickly provide turnkey solutions for manufacturing systems’ configuration and implementation for these enterprises. This paper aims to extract and refine the configuration and operation key views of the Industry 4.0-oriented Turnkey Project (I4TP) from Reference Architecture Model Industrie 4.0 (RAMI4.0) and use it to guide the development of key functional processes of turnkey projects to achieve rapid configuration and efficient operation management of manufacturing systems. The turnkey project platform in the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center (AMTC) is taken as a demonstration case to provide a reference idea for the rapid configuration and intelligent operation of the turnkey manufacturing system.

Abstract Reducing vulnerability and improving resilience of the existing built environment to disaster events is a complex multidisciplinary challenge in which facilities managers need to contribute an understanding of the impact that a disaster event could have on both their hard and soft facilities. Facilities managers also need to identify potential operational, physical and corporate adaptations/mitigations that can support continued business function during and after a disaster event. This paper describes work in progress to develop an earthquake forecasting, early warning and rapid response system that business and critical infrastructure organisations can use as part disaster risk reduction and business continuity planning. Focusing on theory and methods, the paper considers the different aspects of resilience from a facilities management perspective and presents findings from a participatory action research programme that developed a series of use-cases to explore the potential impact of earthquake forecasting, early warning and rapid response on an organisation’s vulnerability and resilience to an earthquake; and identifying physical, operational and organisational mitigation interventions that can reduce an organisation’s disaster risk. The paper concludes the need for facilities managers to understand the different aspects of resilience and to apply the most appropriate to their hard and soft facilities management systems.

Abstract Facilities managers have a key role to play in improving organisational resilience to disaster events. However, there is currently limited support available to help them understand and systematically manage related issues. At the strategic level, they need to understand the physical, operational, and organisational risks associated with individual and cascading events. At the operational level, they need to develop mitigation interventions to reduce and manage these risks. This paper discusses results from the TURNkey project, which developed a forecasting, early warning and consequence response platform to assist decision-makers prepare for, respond to and recover from a potential earthquake event. It looks at this disaster management platform through the lens of business, outlining the opportunities and challenges facilities managers face when using it to manage organisational resilience. First, the paper presents an overview of the TURNkey platform and describes a series of end-user use cases that were developed to identify the key business issues the platform needed to address. The paper then reports the results of a hypothetical case study undertaken as part of a regional earthquake simulation to show how the outputs from the TURNkey FWCR platform can be integrated into existing resilience plans. The paper concludes by highlighting outstanding integration issues and the role that facilities managers can play in helping resolve them. Although the paper draws on evidence from earthquake disasters, its findings and conclusions are generic, and applicable to any disaster event.

This article aims to shed light on China’s asymmetric warfare in Indonesia through the Turnkey Project Management (TPM) scheme. TPM is an employment contract to carry out Chinese investment with a one-package system starting from funding with the preferential buyer’s credit system, materials and machines, experts, and workers, are emanated from China. This study employed qualitative research and used a research library to collect data. It found that TPM is an integral part of China’s foreign policy to pursue its national interests. China also relies more on its state-owned enterprises and private companies (non-state actors), thereby minimizing the state’s role. Indonesia suffered from losses more than it gains from the win, implying this scenario is more of a zero-sum game. The foreign workers from China have also caused social problems in Indonesia, such as cybercrime and the smuggling of methamphetamine. The results of this study include recommendations for enabling Indonesian workers to adapt to foreign technology regarding a transfer of knowledge; strengthening regulations that meet environmental standards, human rights, and good corporate governance in terms of foreign investment; and not to make the regulation easier for allowing Chinese workers.

Full textAbstract:
China’s aggressiveness to conduct its belt and road initiatives through the Pacific Rim meets Presiden Joko Widodo’s ambition to attract foreign investment. The Indonesian President has been very ambitious in reaching high economic growth that requires readiness of infrastructure support. In dealing with China, Indonesia is required to accept China’s turnkey project scheme for infrastructure development, particularly in welcoming Chinese workers and equipments as an integral part of the project package. As a consequence, Indonesia has to loose its foreign worker regulation despite creating new contradictions with its domestic policy. This article is trying to investigate China’s funding and investment influence in Indonesia particularly in the foreign worker management during the period of President Joko Widodo Administration. The research conducted with qualitative method particularly the case study to analyze a sequential case in the field. Result of this research shows that the China’s turnkey project scheme impacts the foreign worker management in Indonesia. Our data displays pretty massive cases related to Chinese workers, extending from the violation of immigration regulation to the increase number of smuggling and other criminal activities. This research also highlight the indication that the Joko Widodo Administration tend to loose the Indonesian foreign worker regulations, as well as being less assertive in processing varous immigration cases which related to Chinese foreign workers. Moreover, the Jokowi administration has changed lots of regulations despite it has conflicting issues with the Law on Foreign Worker. On the other hand, the Parliament’s Special Committee on the Foreign Worker Issue has recommended the Jokowi Administration to pay more serious attention on cases related to the Chinese workers.

 Abstrak
 
 Agresivitas Pemerintah China dalam menjalankan belt and road initiatives ke berbagai negara yang terpetakan dalam road map-nya, bertemu dengan kepentingan Indonesia di bawah Pemerintahan Joko Widodo. Yakni ambisi untuk mengejar target pertumbuhan yang tinggi yang mempersyaratkan dibangunnya berbagai proyek infrastruktur sebagai penunjangnya. Pembangunan berbagai proyek tersebut membutuhkan ketersediaan anggaran yang cukup besar dalam waktu cepat. Salah satu strategi pemenuhannya adalah dengan mencari investasi maupun pinjaman luar negeri, terutama asal China yang secara koinsiden juga sedang agresif berekspansi. Kehadiran investasi dan pinjaman asal China di Indonesia dengan skema turnkey project ternyata menimbulkan ekses yang tidak sederhana. Skema tersebut menjadi salah satu pintu masuk tenaga kerja asal China melalui proyek-proyek infrastruktur yang ternyata menimbulkan permasalahan baru dalam pengaturan sektor ketenagakerjaan asing (TKA) di Indonesia. Irisan fenomena dari keinginan untuk merealisasikan proyek infrastruktur secara cepat, kebutuhan anggaran yang cukup tinggi terhadap pendanaan proyek dari China, dan kekurangsiapan dalam pengaturan masuknya tenaga kerja asing adalah fokus dari penelitian yang hasilnya penulis tuangkan dalam artikel ini. Dari penelitian yang dilakukan, terdapat peningkatan berbagai kasus yang terkait dengan kehadiran TKA asal China, antara lain adalah penyalahgunaan visa, penyalahgunaan status kerja, sampai pada meningkatnya angka penyelundupan dan tindak kriminalitas. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan menganalisis secara triangular beberapa data yang didapatkan melalui wawancara terhadap narasumber primer, pengolahan dokumen-dokumen resmi, analisis terhadap berbagai literatur dan pemberitaan media massa.

Full textAbstract:
In the nuclear sector, turnkey projects can be considered an investment in obtaining information through “learning by doing” to capture rents from the next generation of reactors. As the first U.S. turnkey export project, the first Spanish nuclear power plant served that purpose and paved the way for the subsequent growth of the nuclear sector, for both Spanish and U.S. firms. Making use of archival material, we analyze the networks created by the government, experts, and business leaders, which sought to obtain, accumulate, and learn from the scarce and conflicting information about atomic technology that was available at the time. We also discern how firms on both sides of the Atlantic acquired and perfected the specific capabilities required to build a commercial nuclear reactor.

Full textAbstract:
Utilizing a turnkey approach to deliver a construction project entails significant risks from the contractor’s perspective. Essentially, the owner awaits project completion without commitments regarding additional expenditures incurred by the contractor during the project’s duration. This paper specifically focuses on estimating and analyzing the contingency value for residential turnkey projects in Saudi Arabia. The contingency value across the project’s life cycle is estimated using six Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models, which are compared to identify the best-trained network according to project complexity, contingency factor, and contingency impact during the project phases. The output layer provides the contingency factor percentages for each project phase. A 13-story reinforced concrete (RC) residential building established in one of Saudi Arabia’s cities was selected to implement the developed methodology. The contingency estimation, performed using @Risk 7.5 and NeuralTools 7.5, was determined to be 11.34% and was distributed across the five phases of the project’s life cycle: 0.30% for predesign, 0.99% for design, 2.61% for preconstruction, 6.33% for construction, and 1.12% for postconstruction. Furthermore, it was found that the estimated contingency varies based on project complexity, which is 7.20% for low complexity, 8.16% for medium complexity, 9.41% for complicated, and 11.34% for very complicated projects. Historical data and peer review approaches are employed to validate the results, both of which are endorsed by professionals in this field. This paper highlights two main contributions: Firstly, it significantly enhances risk management by facilitating a comprehensive understanding and systematic analysis of risks, thus improving the contractors’ ability to mitigate potential negative impacts on projects. Secondly, it supports more informed decision-making through the use of advanced techniques to estimate and analyze contingency values. These contributions are critical for contractors engaged in Saudi construction projects, particularly those involving residential buildings.

Abstract In today’s rapidly evolving world, marked by technological advancements, digitalization, and evolving environmental and social requirements, the construction industry is grappling with increasing project complexity. This complexity, in turn, impacts performance. Technical competences alone no longer ensure project success; instead, organizations with superior interpersonal skills are better positioned for success. Measures are being taken to enhance interpersonal skills in Norway’s construction industry. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of these measures and to explore potential variations in the need for key interpersonal skills among primary project partners and across different project phases. Data were collected through a literature review and semi-structured interviews conducted with selected informants from two large Statsbygg projects. The findings of this study underscore the crucial role of interpersonal skills in project success, a role that becomes more significant as projects increase in size and complexity. Despite the acknowledged importance of these skills within the Norwegian construction industry, measures to enhance them have not yielded the expected success. This study first outlines current measures to improve interpersonal skills, including the integration of collaboration in turnkey contracts, promotion of teamwork, effective meeting facilitation, onboarding processes, and co-location. It then identifies obstacles to these initiatives, such as the perceived difficulty in acquiring these skills, budget and time constraints, and uncertainties about the initiatives’ effectiveness. The study also explores potential differences in the need for key interpersonal skills among project partners, uncovering a shared need for skills like collaboration, communication, and problem-solving, with strategic thinking being an exception, primarily linked to the client’s role in the project’s early stage. While the research is focused on a specific segment of the Norwegian construction industry, it provides valuable, broadly applicable insights. Future research could strengthen these findings by expanding the scope to include more case projects and interviewees.

The article proves that value engineering (Value engineering) is a set of methods and tools for managing the value of an investment project at all stages of its life cycle, determines the economic relations among the participants. It is determined that cost engineering includes: formation of the project budget (budget planning of the project, assessment of the efficiency of capital investments, investment assessment) estimated pricing; examination (verification of the accuracy of the determination) of the estimated cost of construction; formation of construction cost; cost control of the project implementation process analysis of actual costs (construction costs). Cost engineering of investment and construction projects is closely related to the concepts: project risk management, integrated project cost management (TCM – total cost management). The use of cost engineering allows to complete the project within the planned time and budget with full satisfaction of previously defined expectations of the Customer, ie with full achievement of all predetermined results. Thanks to considerable experience and high qualification, in realization of projects in the EPC format (Engineering, Procurement, Construction – the contract of full volume of works "turnkey"), experts can achieve reduction of investment and operational costs of the investor by 10-15%. In integrated project management, all methods and tools of cost engineering can be used, such as technological audit, price audit, the method of mastered volume, the application of which are given with the use of economic and mathematical modeling.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores the strategic application of advanced project management methods to achieve significant cost reductions in residential renovation projects. In modern conditions, where clients face challenges such as budget overruns, project delays, low quality, and lack of transparency, this study provides a comprehensive analysis of how project management practices can optimize both financial and operational aspects of renovations. The article advocates for a shift from the traditional interaction pattern in the residential real estate market, where clients typically hire general contractors under «turnkey» conditions, to a more progressive model. In this model, the general contractor acts as a project manager, and all subcontractors are selected through an open and transparent bidding process based on clear evaluation criteria, such as price, quality, and reputation. The general contractor operates under an «open book» principle, with all subcontractor pricing transparent to the client, and the general contractor’s work is compensated as a percentage of the budget. The article emphasizes the importance of involving an independent expert, hired by the client, to assess the effectiveness and transparency of subcontractor selection by the general contractor. This scheme is widely used in large-scale industrial and civil construction projects, but its implementation in the residential market was previously difficult due to relatively small budgets that did not allow for additional oversight and supervision. This study examines the implementation of electronic document management systems, digital project management, and financial accounting as key drivers for increasing the efficiency of renovation projects. A structured approach to contractor management, material procurement, and quality assurance demonstrates how project managers can effectively mitigate risks, ensure compliance with timelines, and deliver high-quality work within the approved budget.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to identify the causes of excessive change orders and their impact on public construction projects in Saudi Arabia. This should support the organizations working in the construction industry to improve variation order management (VOM) as a preventive action by dealing proactively with variation order causes. Therefore, a new methodology was proposed to minimize change orders and their impact on the successful completion of projects as well as cost during the project lifecycle. The methodology involved ten selected turnkey building projects at King Faisal University (KFU) campus, Saudi Arabia. Statistical analyses were conducted to predict the cost overrun in project size and contract value. The findings showed the most significant causes leading to variation order in public construction projects. These include the combined effect of the designer and owner technical committee, designer document, and owner stakeholder committee. Hence, a new model for VOM was developed as a best practice approach, including three stages. The first stage is the initiation process, which includes seven procedures, seven tools, and key responsibilities. The second stage deals with the course of change orders based on a certain number of procedures and weight for each parameter assigned to this phase. It supports decision processes based on a certain average ratio of weights calculation. The third stage is the decision to support decision makers in proceeding or not proceeding with the variation order. Although the present study was conducted in Saudi Arabia’s public building construction project, it is envisaged that these research results are widely applicable to other developing countries. The paper presents a direction for further research to enhance the impact of cost overrun in public sector construction projects in developing countries, i.e., Saudi Arabia.

Full textAbstract:
The development of road infrastructure is closely related to national competitiveness and presents significant socioeconomic impacts. However, road construction involves a large budget and is vulnerable to political, economic, social, and project-specific risks, which often result in cost overruns and schedule delays. Assessing the gap between the final performance and the planned performance, and providing feedback to similar projects in the future is essential for successful project planning and management. The aim of this study is to empirically analyze the cost and schedule growth of road construction projects, considering project characteristics. Using the national-level project performance data, the primary goal is to answer, “Do project characteristics influence the road project performance? If so, how different is the performance because of the project characteristics?” To this end, this study analyzes the cost and schedule growth of 423 road construction projects, considering five project characteristics: facility type, construction type, bid type, contract type, and project size. Non-parametric tests (the Mann–Whitney U test and the Kruskal–Wallis test) are used to analyze the differences between sample groups. The results demonstrate (1) better management of the performance of the highway when compared to the national and provincial roads; (2) higher schedule growth of the expansion and renovation than that of the new construction; (3) lower cost growth of the design-build method (turnkey and alternative) than the design-bid-build methods (qualification examination and lowest price); and (4) relatively larger cost and schedule growth for projects over $50 million than those of smaller projects. These results present empirical references from the Korean construction industry that can help construction-related entities (clients, design consultants, and contractors) to estimate and manage the cost and schedule buffers of future projects by considering different project characteristics. Discussions and suggestions connected with the findings are also provided. Future research will continue to shed light on the critical factors affecting the cost and schedule growth.

The procurement system is the organizational structure adopted by the client for the management of the design and construction of a building project [1]. Wrong selection of a procurement system generally leads to project failure and client dissatisfaction. In this paper, Procurement Systems Judgment (PSJ) method is discussed in detail as an approach to identify appropriate procurement systems that can be used in a particular construction sector. To indicate this method a survey is required. The proposed method was applied in the construction industry in Iraq and the survey was conducted in the governmental offices. The results showed that only seven procurement systems preferably applied in the construction industry in Iraq. These systems are the traditional system, two stage tendering, negotiation system, cost reimbursable contract, design and build, turnkey, and construction management.

The authors present the results of a survey of participants in the “Turnkey Team” project, implemented in the 2022/23 academic year by the Institute of Industrial Management of Economics and Trade of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, on the readiness of graduates for professional activities. The survey involved three focus groups consisting of members of multi-student teams formed from graduate students studying in the areas of training for an enlarged group of specialties “Economics and Management”, representatives of employers and team mentors from the university with whom the teams interacted during the project. Analysis of the survey results showed high consistency in assessments of teams’ readiness for professional activities, the positive role of the project in building confidence and adapting students to professional activities at enterprises in the real sector of the economy. All parties emphasize the importance of systematic work to continue the implementation of the project for training interdisciplinary teams, work to attract specialized organizations to the project and systematically work with them in terms of forming a pool of cases, assignments and relevant topics for student teams to work on. The project participants expressed wishes for the start of work on projects of student teams earlier than the final year, closer interaction within the project between all interested parties, both from the university and from the specialized enterprise. Interaction should contribute to the unity of team members at the stage of creating teams and starting work on the project; a deeper understanding of the business model of the enterprise, the specifics of its work in general and individual structural divisions in particular.

Full textAbstract:
Population growth has increased over the past two centuries. In the driest countries, water supply alternatives are scarce, with desalination being an alternative to ensure water supply to the population. Desalination plants have increased in size and efficiency, and require large investments, large infrastructures, and complex technology, besides they also need sophisticated contractual formulas to successfully build them. Various contract models are tools that should be used by taking into consideration the characteristics of the project, the parties involved, and who is responsible for each of the risks involved. To help choose the most suitable type of contract for a particular project, so-called decision support systems have been developed over the past thirty years. In this paper, a new decision support system is presented and applied to a case study of two desalination plants built under the design and build and turnkey modes of contract. The objective was to determine the most suitable contract model for these types of projects which had very ambitious objectives and decisive social, economic, and environmental implications.

Full textAbstract:
Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractors with lump-sum turnkey contracts have recently been suffering massive profit losses due to re-works and schedule delays in offshore oil and gas EPC megaprojects. The main objective of this research is to develop and implement a detail engineering completion rating index system (DECRIS) to assist EPC contractors to optimize fabrication and construction works schedules while minimizing potential re-work/re-order. This is achieved through adequate detail design development and results in minimizing schedule delays and potential liquidated damages (i.e., delay penalties). The developed DECRIS was based on findings from an extensive review of existing literature, industry-led studies, expert surveys, and expert workshops. The DECRIS model is an evolution, and improvement of existing tools such as the project definition raking index (PDRI) and front-end loading (FEL) developed specifically for the early stage of engineering maturity assessment (i.e., planning, basic design, and front-end engineering design (FEED)), prior to EPC projects. The DECRIS was evaluated and validated with thirteen sample as-built offshore megaprojects completed recently. When the DECRIS was applied to the completed projects post-hoc, a correlation (R-squared 0.71) was found between DECRIS scores and schedule/cost performances. This is much superior to the PDRI-Industrial model’s correlation (R-squared 0.04), which was primarily devised for owners’ basic engineering or FEED completion assessment. Finally, as a means of further validation, project schedule and cost performance of an ongoing project was predicted based on the correlations found on the thirteen completed projects. The resultant predicted schedule and cost performance was well matched with the current project performance status. Based on the accuracy of the DECRIS model found in the validation, said model is an effective prospective tool for EPC contractors to manage their engineering and procurement/construction risks during the initial detail design stages.

<em>he object of research is a business process management system of engineering companies. The paper considers the existing system of interaction between design institutes, engineering companies and manufacturing enterprises implementing investment projects. In particular, the differences in the construction of business processes in previously existing design institutions and modern engineering companies are identified. The research methodology is based on theoretical and methodological analysis of scientific literature, statistical methods, as well as observation, comparative method, description, measurement. The use of scientific research methods has revealed weaknesses and contradictions in the business process management system.</em> <em>The results of this research indicate that the development, verification and approval of design and estimate specifications are the main business process of engineering companies. It is proved that these business processes are an integral part of the investment project. Therefore, for the successful implementation of company projects, customers attract a large number of external contracting organizations – design, engineering, construction companies. The increase in the number of participants in the investment process significantly complicates the construction of business processes, which leads to an increase in the timing of development, verification and approval of design and estimate specifications.</em> <em>The analysis allows to identify the causes of inconsistencies when working with specification. The main reasons for increasing the verification time are systemic problems in organizing the interaction of project participants. It is determined that the pre-existing holders of archival design specification that provided comprehensive turnkey services have practically disappeared from the market. Contracting organizations appeared in their place, separated from large specialized design organizations. The created contracting organizations work in different versions of the software, therefore they created sets of documents of varying degrees of detail of design decisions. In general, it is recommended to optimize the docking of documents between participants in investment projects. The implementation of the proposed measures becomes possible in the context of the introduction of information technology based on joint teamwork to create an electronic model.</em>

Full textAbstract:
Multinational oilfield service tendering in deepwater operations involves complex contractual, financial, and operational risks that require strategic mitigation approaches. The high capital investment, technical challenges, regulatory compliance requirements, and geopolitical uncertainties present significant risks to project execution. Effective contract management is critical for balancing risk exposure, ensuring operational efficiency, and optimizing financial performance. This study explores best practices for risk mitigation and contract management in multinational oilfield service tendering, drawing lessons from deepwater operations. The research adopts a comprehensive risk assessment approach, integrating qualitative and quantitative methodologies to evaluate key risks encountered in deepwater tenders. The study identifies critical risk factors, including fluctuating oil prices, supply chain disruptions, local content requirements, environmental liabilities, and contractual disputes. A predictive risk modeling framework is developed using historical data, expert judgment, and Monte Carlo simulations to assess risk probability and impact. The study further examines the role of contractual frameworks such as lump-sum turnkey (LSTK), engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC), and risk-sharing agreements in mitigating financial and operational uncertainties. Case studies from major deepwater oilfield developments highlight successful strategies, including risk-sharing mechanisms, adaptive contracting approaches, and the application of digital technologies for contract lifecycle management. The findings suggest that integrating advanced analytics, blockchain-based smart contracts, and real-time risk monitoring enhances transparency, reduces contractual disputes, and improves project governance. Additionally, collaboration among stakeholders, regulatory alignment, and strategic supply chain partnerships are identified as key enablers of successful contract execution. This study provides actionable insights for oilfield service providers, operators, and regulators to strengthen risk mitigation and contract management practices in deepwater tendering. By leveraging predictive modeling, strategic partnerships, and adaptive contract structures, companies can optimize project outcomes, minimize financial exposure, and enhance operational resilience in complex offshore environments. Future research will focus on integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to develop automated risk assessment and contract optimization tools for the oil and gas industry.

Abstract The Health Cyberinfrastructure (CI) Division at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) has been deploying secure, compliant, end-to-end solutions to support critical applications including, but not limited to, biomedical research, detecting and preventing medical fraud, enterprise risk management, and medical device data management. These applications have relied on technologies ranging from the traditional data warehouse to the more recent big data platforms leveraging Hadoop, Software as a Service (SaaS) capability leveraging container technology, business intelligence and analytics solutions, and IOT/streaming solutions. Operating these applications and the underlying platforms requires organizations to be agile and visionary in this arena to grow with the ever-changing technological, regulatory, and unique customer requirements, while simultaneously ensuring data security and privacy. To that end, the SDSC Health CI Division is participating in a multi-institution project with City of Hope, a National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, and other universities and health organizations to create a research cyberinfrastructure that includes a secure, cloud-based data management platform. The data management platform consolidates all CTS data, including datasets, codes, and accompanying documentation, and operates within Sherlock Cloud, a secure hybrid cloud platform. The innovative platform allows every member of the CTS team to securely access and use all CTS data and information in real time in a consolidated, integrated, and secure manner. Researchers have access to a data warehouse, domain-specific data marts, and analytics platform built on secure cloud technology that greatly enhances the reliability and accuracy of the data collected, and has a more seamless mechanism to access, annotate, input, and transmit data, thereby heightening accuracy and the quality of collaborative analysis performed. This approach not only transforms how CTS data is collected, stored, and shared for high-impact research, but also has the potential to reduce associated costs of ongoing research while increasing efficiency and security. SDSC Health CI Division’s work in building innovative data management and compute solutions for health care researchers over the last decade, and its collaboration with the CTS researchers more recently, has demonstrated a clear need for a unique type of managed services capability that serves the biomedical community. Specifically, the epidemiology cohorts have practiced a more traditional approach consisting of decentralized data management and computing. Even though this approach has served the community well in the past, as we look into the future, it has obvious shortcomings in terms of supporting enterprise-level data management, scale, interoperability, and provenance. SDSC Health CI Division takes a modern approach to information lifecycle management through its Sherlock Cloud platform. Sherlock Cloud Data Management framework captures users’ evolving requirements, and provides centralized, secure cloud-based managed services capability that supports end-to-end data lifecycle management including data integration capabilities, allowing data to be captured, rationalized, homogenized, and managed using best practices and standards. This includes dynamic mappings, transformations, and master data-management techniques utilizing established governance methodologies, with specific focus on data quality, metadata management, and governance. The CTS data management and analytics platform implementation can serve as a model for other epidemiology cohorts and studies. SDSC Health CI Division plans to achieve this by leveraging the existing investment NCI and CTS has already made in building the cloud-based, secure CTS data management platform. Using container technology, Sherlock will package the various components of the data management framework and analytical tools, creating a turnkey offering that can be deployed for other similar studies. This cloud platform agnostic, open-source, turnkey solution provides other cohorts a template they can build on top of, and leverage all the work CTS has performed to develop the core, domain-specific data management and analytics capability, and all that will remain is study specific customizations that cohorts will need to perform. Additionally, APIs built on top of the in-built data model will provide seamless integration with external NCI- and NIH-established Commons. The epidemiology community has a way to go before it is on par with communities in other verticals in their adoption of cutting-edge, enterprise platforms and tools for data management and analytics, but initiatives like CTS can demonstrate that, once designed and developed, these capabilities can be easily packaged and deployed for other studies, providing a framework that a larger research community can leverage.

The subject of this research is the general terms of three standard contracts set by International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC) in 2017 &ndash; conditions of contract for engineering, construction and installation works designed by the contractor; conditions of contract for engineering, construction and installation works designed by the employer; conditions of contract for &ldquo;turnkey projects&rdquo; and norms of the Federal Law &ldquo;On contractual system in the sphere of procurement, works, and services for state and municipal needs; as well as bylaws in the area of public procurement and urban development, which regulate the establishment and change of conditions of construction contracts regarding the types and volume of works, their cost and deadline. The novelty of this research consists in the fact that the conditions of standard FIDIC contracts are analyzed in comparison with the current legislation of the Russian Federation on regulation of public procurement. The conducted comparison revealed discrepancies in the legal regimes of contractual relations emerging thereof. The law establishes rigid requirements to agreeing and setting conditions on the source, cost and completion time of works which impede differentiation of the level of their detailing in contract documentation, and thus the creation of a favorable environment for implementation of investment and construction projects. Excessively rigid rules of public procurement legislation pertaining to the changes of contract terms block the action of risk management procedures enshrined in the FIDIC standard contracts. As a result, the parties are not able to respond adequately and promptly to the impact of external and internal factors that affect project environment. A conclusion is made on impossibility of mutually agreed terms of application of FIDIC standard contracts and Russian legislation on public procurement without making substantial amendments to the content of standard contracts.

The study aimed to develop recommendations for the optimization of settings in which the crowdsourcing project takes place. Findings show that crowdfunding projects are hybrid and include the elements of crowdsourcing, crowdsensing, crowdfunding, crowdworking, and crowdsourced recruitment. The predominant role of security guarantees was identified. It turned out that relations irreducible to a simple hierarchy pose many challenges. The results indicate that leading issues include the lack of financial guarantees and the likelihood of information leakage to competitors. Hence, the priority is to manage the exchange of money and information. An interesting finding demonstrates a positive correlation between project success, ethical conduct, and fair distribution of gains. The protection of intellectual property rights was no less important. As it was concluded in the course of analysis, the more successful the project, the more thoroughly it addresses the protection of someone else's intellectual property.

Construction management is a service that uses project management techniques to planning, design and construction of a project. Another branch of construction management is the planning made during the bidding stages before the construction starts. At this stage, the scheduling of the work, mobilization and most importantly the project design and drawing time should be analyzed and accurate estimates should be made. For this estimation, the experience of the bidding organization is the biggest reference. Construction management techniques in a BIM-based project are challengeable. The biggest reason is that knowledge about BIM is much less than the others and still a developing system. Therefore, the margin of error in the estimated project duration to be predicted in the bids to be made for such projects increases. Considering that man-hour estimations are financially very important for the company. This study is aimed to make observations with advanced technologies which is applied ML algorithms and analysis methods for man-hour estimations in BIM projects at the bidding stage. The project information to perform a man-hour analysis of completed construction projects was requested from offices that have gained experience in BIM projects. The project information of 16 projects were tabulated. The collected information was converted into a data set and transferred into regression analysis algorithms using Python format. Data set, which was turned into a matrix, was analysed and the consistency of the parameters in data set was tested. Spent man-hour estimation was made, graphed over parameters with simple and multiple linear regression algorithms.

Full textAbstract:
Offsite construction (OSC) is one of the alternative methods for the various challenges that the construction sector faces today. This study developed a management system based on building information modeling (BIM) to execute OSC projects successfully. Because OSC differs from the conventional onsite building method, the authors studied and analyzed several project cases and interviewed the participants and stakeholders. The OSC method has unique characteristics in the aspects of the projects’ location and time, production process, flow, method, facility, and environment. Moreover, before the system development, we analyzed the OSC project management, usability, and system requirements. These requirements were turned into a BIM-based system following a waterfall model, with six management menus: drawing, schedule, production, logistics, installation and progress monitoring, and progress payment. This study implemented each menu’s vital functions within the system more effectively due to the BIM-based technological features, such as object-oriented data processing, visualization, high interoperability, linkage, and integration. The developed system was applied to four projects. The test resulted in a streamlined work process, improved activity, and less input time and workload than in a non-BIM-based management environment. These findings indicated that the proposed BIM-based system enabled OSC project management to perform better.

Design changes are inevitable in most projects. In many construction projects they may look not too complicated to be executed in front of computer models. The actual situation turned out to be the other way around. Apart from detailed changes in shop drawings, bill of quantity and specifications, administrative works related to the project are quite considerations. These mounted consequences would be more for short duration projects with government funding executed in the near end book period. The allocated execution period for short duration projects is not usually allowing rapid changes for the unexpected consequences. This paper presents what actually happens inside the project management during the contract change order process.

2022 marks over two decades since the construction of the Narrowneck multi-purpose reef at the Northern Gold Coast, Queensland. The reef was implemented in 2000 in parallel with 1.1 million m3 of beach nourishment which is one of the most innovative and large-scale coastal management projects in Australia (Boak et al. 2000). Effecting beach management works of this scale also required implementation of a cutting edge coastal monitoring program, with the Water Research Laboratory (WRL) working alongside Gold Coast City Council to establish an Argus camera system at Surfers Paradise in 1999 (Turner et al, 2004). At the time, this station was the forefront of coastal monitoring technology, providing weekly shoreline position, intertidal morphology and rectified imagery of the beach. The monitoring system now provides Council with aerial imagery and measurements of the complete 32 km of beaches within the littoral drift dominated sediment compartment, every hour of the day. This paper reflects on two decades of monitoring system advances, and presents the challenges and capabilities in operating such a significant beach monitoring network over such a long period of time.

The need to maintain the workflow in conditions of forced disconnection has increased the need for software products. But it turned out that the quality of many of them is lower than expected. One of the reasons is that users with different quality criteria began to work with them. Another reason is that the products have objectively become unacceptably low quality, largely due to errors in the management of the project. The scale and significance of a modern software project require its implementation according to one of the classical models: it will ensure quality. However, due to the desire to get ahead of competitors, flexible methodologies are used, reducing deadlines and losing quality. And the larger the project, the higher the risk of quality loss and the higher the cost of losses. How to combine the benefits of both approaches without getting their disadvantages?

Full textAbstract:
PURPOSE: While there is abundant literature on the key determinants of reward-based crowdfunding success, little research is dedicated to crowdfunding projects that are not only successful but receive significantly more funds than initially targeted through the defined funding goal. This study seeks to shed light on this vastly neglected topic in crowdfunding research. METHODOLOGY: Drawing on a rich dataset of 338 rewardbased crowdfunding projects, this study applied a two-step statistical analysis. First, regression analyses to determine relevant crowdfunding success factors were conducted in order to corroborate extant literature and to highlight that the data properly reflects the already identified key findings on crowdfunding success. In a second step, the very same factors were investigated for the case of overfunded projects, utilizing logistic regression analyses and a Blinder-Oaxaca Decomposition. FINDINGS: Although this study confirmed the findings of previous research considering the factors that increase the success probability of crowdfunding projects, the very same factors turned out to not explain the emergence of project overfunding. For instance, while project founders can provide updates, a higher number of different rewards, or utilize social media pages to increase the likelihood for success, these factors do not contribute to explain the phenomenon of project overfunding. IMPLICATIONS: The results of this study emphasize that in order to understand overfunding of crowdfunding projects, future research must go beyond the basic crowdfunding success factors. Building on the notion of the Two-Factor Theory, the findings suggest that the factors contributing to success can be considered hygiene factors that are required to succeed in the first place. However, these factors do not motivate the crowd to provide further funding to an already successful project. Hence the motivating factors remain yet unobserved in extant literature. In practice, this means that project teams achieving their funding goal cannot rely on the same factors that were helpful to succeed to encourage further funding from the crowd. The differentiation of hygiene and motivating factors for overfunding in reward-based crowdfunding offers rich opportunities for future research. More subjective factors, such as the individual perception of crowd members towards crowdfunding projects, are suggested to play an important role for the occurrence of project overfunding. ORIGINALITY/VALUE: By investigating project overfunding, this study addresses the research gap concerning the factors contributing to the emergence of project overfunding. There is little evidence on the characteristics of overfunded crowdfunding projects, and thus this study provides essential theoretical and empirical groundwork for future research to build upon this study’s results.

Full textAbstract:
In the face of escalating project complexities, tighter deadlines, and increasing stakeholder expectations, the construction industry has turned to digital solutions to enhance coordination, accuracy, and efficiency. Building Information Modelling (BIM) has emerged as a cornerstone of this digital evolution, offering a multi-dimensional platform that integrates design, scheduling, and cost data into a single, real-time collaborative environment. This integrated framework enables all stakeholders—architects, engineers, contractors, and owners—to make data-driven decisions across the lifecycle of construction projects, from conceptual planning to post-delivery facility management. This study investigates how BIM optimizes project delivery by synchronizing design iterations with real-time scheduling and cost estimation, commonly referred to as 4D (time) and 5D (cost) BIM. By linking geometric data with construction sequences and financial projections, BIM allows project teams to simulate construction progress, detect resource clashes, and update budgets dynamically. The result is improved workflow transparency, proactive risk mitigation, and significant reductions in change orders and cost overruns. The paper also examines the application of BIM in integrated project delivery (IPD) settings and explores its interoperability with project management platforms and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Drawing from real-world implementation cases in commercial and public infrastructure projects, the research illustrates how BIM enhances communication loops, enables faster response to design changes, and aligns procurement schedules with project timelines. Ultimately, the integration of real-time design, scheduling, and cost through BIM signals a new standard in construction project delivery—one that is collaborative, adaptive, and digitally empowered to meet the challenges of the built environment's future.

This data can be turned into a valuable asset only if it is analyzed, interpreted and used for improving processes or for benefiting users. One such source that is contributing huge data every year is a large number of web-based crowd-funding projects. These projects and related campaigns help ventures to raise money by acquiring small amounts of funding from different small organizations and people. The funds raised for crowdfunded projects and hence, their success depends on multiple elements of the project. The current work predicts the success of a new venture by analysis and visualization of the existing data and determining the parameters on which success of a project depends. The prediction of a project’s outcome is performed by application of machine learning algorithms on crowd-funding data stored in the NoSQL database, MongoDB. The results of this work can prove beneficial for the investors to have an estimate about the success of a project before investing in it.

The following negative factors have had a significant impact on the withdrawal of irrigated arable land from agricultural turnover in the Kashkadarya region of the Republic of Uzbekistan. 44,818 ha (64.5%) out of 69,469 ha of arable land in the region fell into disrepair due to lack of water supply, and 8,124 ha (11.7%) fell into disrepair due to unsuitable irrigation systems (canals, flumes and ditches) into disrepair, 1069 ha (1.5%) due to non-working artesian wells and failed pumps, 13359 ha (19.2%) due to the deterioration of the ameliorative state (1779.0 ha groundwater rose and swamped, in 11580 ha increased mineralization), 2126 ha (3.1%) have a layer of gypsum and all these reasons led to the fact that arable land was dropped from agricultural circulation and perennial crops turned into shrubs as a result of non-cultivation. This article describes the results of scientific and practical research conducted by the State Research and Design Institute "Uzdaverloyiha" in 2018-2021 in order to increase the efficiency of land use in Kashkadarya region, where the situation has deteriorated and lost its agricultural turnover.

Introduction. Global innovation challenges existing in the world at this current stage, activation of strategic innovation policy on gaining positions in the Global Innovation Index by the states, rapidly changing consumer demands, the struggle to maintain the advantages of leadership for competitiveness in the world market, the sudden appearance of the COVID-19 pandemic – faced the countries of the world before the complex challenges, which turned the production of innovative products and services, and the modernization of existing ones into an essential condition in a short period.
 Aim and tasks. The research aims to work out ways of improving the problems arising in Georgia's innovative business project management. The following objectives should be carried out to achieve the research goal: studying the characteristics of innovative business project management from the origin of an innovative business idea to its realization based on research and statistical data analysis
 Results. There have been reviewed problems in the management of innovative business projects-difficulties in adequately designing the business model to improve the business idea, which requires extra time, finances, and an experienced professional team. All of these hinder the startups' ability to go through the business process, turn the idea into a competitive product, carry out the correct marketing campaign, and build partnership relations at the local and international levels. Due to the urgency of the issue, the rating of Georgia has been studied regarding the innovation development of the Global Innovation Index. The positive attitude of the country towards the innovation policy has been determined, as reflected in the innovation policy carried out by the government. By analyzing the statistical data, grants and their effectiveness as issued to business projects by "Startup Georgia", "Produce in Georgia", and the European Union have been compared.
 Conclusions. The conclusions have been developed by analyzing the results of the research to eliminate the mentioned problems, according to which the constantly changing environment of the market economy forces companies to quickly adapt to market challenges to gain competitiveness and eliminate the problems existing in project management in parallel with the production of innovative products with the participation of professional project managers.

This paper explores the reasons for resistance to digital transformation projects in FMCG companies. The purpose of the work is to develop recommendations for mitigating resistance. Within the framework of the study, an in-depth analysis of existing theoretical approaches and a quantitative analysis based on a sample of more than 60 respondents working in the FMCG sector were carried out. It was found that employees are prone to resistance in the absence of trust in the company's management and the project as a whole. At the same time, the fear of losing a job reduces the willingness to get involved in digitalization projects for people with higher education, while for people without it, maintaining employment is not decisive. It was also revealed that employees of FMCG companies are unwilling to overwork and disrupt the work-life balance, regardless of their attitude to digitalization. Finally, it turned out that employees working remotely are less likely to resist digital transformation projects.

Every construction project faces constraints of cost, schedule, and quality that must be managed to achieve the desired objectives. This research aims to control the aspects of time and cost in construction projects by applying the Earned Value Concept and Crash Program methods. The subject of the study is the Preservation of Roads and Bridges project in Bireuen City - BTS, Lhokseumawe/Aceh Utara, Krueng Mane Buket Rata, SP. Krueng Geukeueh - PEL. Krueng Geukeueh (PEL. Lhokseumawe). The data analyzed includes the Budget Plan (RAB), project schedule, and reports on planned and actual work. This data is processed into three main indicators: BCWS, BCWP, and ACWP, which are then analyzed through Schedule Variance (SV), Cost Variance (CV), Schedule Performance Index (SPI), and Cost Performance Index (CPI). The analysis results show that during weeks 22 to 23, the project had a positive Schedule Variance (SV) (0), which then turned negative during weeks 24 to 28, with an average Schedule Performance Index (SPI) of 1.0096, indicating that project execution was ahead of schedule. Meanwhile, the Cost Variance (CV) was positive throughout the project, and the average Cost Performance Index (CPI) was 1.2118, indicating that actual costs did not exceed the budget. The application of the Crash Program method resulted in changes in heavy equipment rental costs and worker wages, from IDR 1,440,469,946.99 over 50 days to IDR 1,853,072,988.06 over 25 days, with a cost increase of IDR 412,603,041.07 and an acceleration ratio of 1.29. This research demonstrates that the Earned Value Concept and Crash Program methods are effective in controlling time and cost in construction projects, thereby helping to achieve better efficiency in project management.

PurposeThis paper proposes an integrated approach that seeks to jointly optimize project scheduling and material lot sizing decisions for time-constrained project scheduling problems.Design/methodology/approachA mixed integer linear programming model is devised, which utilizes the splitting of noncritical activities as a mean toward leveling the renewable resources. The developed model minimizes renewable resources leveling costs along with consumable resources related costs, and it is solved using IBM ILOG CPLEX optimization package. A hybrid metaheuristic procedure is also proposed to efficiently solve the model for larger projects with complex networks structure.FindingsThe results confirmed the significance of the integrated approach as both the project schedule and the material ordering policy turned out to be different once compared to the sequential approach under same parameter settings. Furthermore, the integrated approach resulted in substantial total costs reduction for low values of the acquiring and releasing costs of the renewable resources. Computational experiments conducted over 240 test instances of various sizes, and complexities illustrate the efficiency of the proposed metaheuristic approach as it yields solutions that are on average 1.14% away from the optimal ones.Practical implicationsThis work highlights the necessity of having project managers address project scheduling and materials lot sizing decisions concurrently, rather than sequentially, to better level resources and minimize materials related costs. Significant cost savings were generated through the developed model despite the use of a small-scale example which illustrates the great potential that the integrated approach has in real life projects. For real life projects with complex network topology, practitioners are advised to make use of the developed metaheuristic procedure due to its superior time efficiency as compared to exact solution methods.Originality/valueThe sequential approach, wherein a project schedule is established first followed by allocating the needed resources, is proven to yield a nonoptimized project schedule and materials ordering policy, leading to an increase in the project's total cost. The integrated approach proposed hereafter optimizes both decisions at once ensuring the timely completion of the project at the least possible cost. The proposed metaheuristic approach provides a viable alternative to exact solution methods especially for larger projects.
