Traditional engineering has a slow information transmission, information asymmetry and so on. With the development of internet IT and BIM technology, the advantages and functions of IT in engineering management have become more and more apparent. In this paper, by analyzing the IT and BIM technology in the specific application of the project management of each part, to modify and improve the traditional...
The study of Information and Communication Technology applications in construction industry have developed greatly for computer programming and management strategies. As a response to the increasing challenges of construction projects, extensive researches have brought about numerous ICT tools such as Building Information Modelling tools, Lean Construction and Lean Design tools, and Integrated Project...
The distribution of counterfeit, fraudulent and sub-standard (CFS) materials is a global phenomenon that also exists in the Norwegian construction industry. CFS materials are materials that are not in accordance with the expected characteristics and performance stated in the CE marking and/or the declaration of performance. Previous research has revealed the presence of CFS steel materials in Norway,...
Construction enterprises are faced with major changes of the construction industry and market, and innovation has become an important development measure for the construction enterprises to cope with the market crisis, expand the living space, and create a new profit point. This paper analyzes the necessity of innovation-driven development of construction enterprises, and puts forward the general...
The paradigm shift in construction cost estimation is attributed to technological innovations in the spheres of building information modelling (BIM) and industrialised building systems (IBS). Majority of construction projects experience cost overruns which affect project objectives. The outcome of cost overruns invariably leads to disputes and further delays. Similarly, cost estimators resistance...
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is identified as a key technology and process to improve productivity and increase integration across various disciplines throughout the construction value chain. Successful BIM implementation depends on continuous support from the different disciplines and especially the main role player which is the government. Thus, for a successful BIM implementation, there...
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is the current trend in the construction industry globally, and Malaysia, is not an exception too. BIM has been in Malaysia for the past ten (10) years, and in the future, BIM will be an industry standard, instead of an optional service. Even though BIM is already in the industry for ten (10) years, many developers are still reluctant to implement it because they...
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a new technology introduced in the construction industry with a positive impact. BIM could increase the efficiency and effectiveness of a project procurement system. Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is inherits to utilize BIM's potential advantages by the American Institute of Architects. However, a traditional procurement system owned a segregated process...
Change is inevitable in most construction projects due to uniqueness of projects and limited resources. Previous studies revealed that design changes are accountable for 78% of the total cost deviation in construction projects. Design Freeze (DF) is one method used during design development stage to mitigate the risks associated with change. This organizes and complies the design process, control...
The construction industry comprises of numerous Nominated Subcontractors (NSCs) employed in various projects. Besides, plentiful NSCs enter into the industry due to ease of entry. However, all NSCs might not possess the required expertise to fulfill client's requirements. Thus, various issues have aroused due to improper selection of NSCs creating selection of NSCs vital. The study comprised of interviews...
Sustainable building construction has become essential in the construction industry with the aim of satisfying the present and future needs of construction stakeholders. Selection and procurement of appropriate materials that satisfies the principles of sustainability is paramount in construction. To this end, the traditional method of materials procurement has been found to be inefficient considering...
During the economic crisis in 2007 forced the entrepreneurs of the real estate sector and construction sector and industry as a whole cleansed, educated and development, to think about their actions development, to survive and future perspectives of the development.
Measures need to be in place during the construction phase to insure that the final project design adheres to the contract specifications and that the project progress is in line with the contract document and that the resources are managed accordingly. This is where information technology would benefit the project management aspect of construction and provide information integration throughout all...
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a relatively new technology emerging in the construction industry as it offers many advantages offers over typical construction drawings. However, new technology brings new problems and often uncertainty to an affected industry. Currently, the construction industry is experiencing much uncertainty as to how the BIM process works. There are very few industry standards,...
At present, there is a series of problems in project cost management of Chinese construction enterprise, to a certain extent, which affected the development of the construction industry China. Lean model experimental analysis which comes from lean production and management, has become the guiding ideology for a new round of management revolution. In this paper, the connotation of lean model experimental...
At present, it is an out-of-order situation to promote and apply Building Information Modeling (BIM) in China. Although there are many BIM applications in China, those successful experiences were not used to help other novices, so many Chinese scholars called on some effective strategy for BIM use and most of them referred to the economic barriers. In this paper, we summarizes other Chinese scholars...
This short paper looks at the current opportunity to integrate professionally mature health and safety into Building Information Management/Modelling (BIM) and Cloud technology. It argues that while the Cloud can be used to facilitate effective BIM, health and safety needs to be dealt with in a much more integrated fashion than is currently being considered by the building and construction sector...
The issue of human health with environmental safety has always been critically important aspect in human life. Especially when it comes to the issue of the effects and threats posed by risk of disasters which causes devastation and destruction to humans' health and ecological regions. Disaster is a combination of natural or artificial threats and human activities. Vulnerability to be result from the...
Construction industry has experienced a variety of changes in terms of operation and organization, which bring about higher requirements to the construction education. Modern technologies, such as the building information modeling (BIM), are a profound driving factor to these changes. This research aims at identifying the industry expectation and satisfaction for construction graduates and finding...
The Malaysian construction industry contributes as an empowerment to the Malaysian economic sector. Even though, the building and construction industry are the key sector for sustainable development, but still they are among the biggest threat to the environment in a form of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions. Moreover, this industry consumes a huge amount of natural resources and emits million tonnes...
