Project cost of construction enterprises includes direct costs and indirect costs. The absence of segregation in responsibilities, the barriers exits in cost information transmitting, lack of cost control criteria, the low technological level of construction workers, lack of cost analysis and evaluation mechanism are the main problems exit in project cost control of construction enterprises. The paper...
Based on Fisher's Linear Discriminant Analysis, the paper proposed an early warning model to predict the bankruptcy possibility for construction companies in China. Sample and variable set of the study came from 56 privately owned Chinese construction companies and their financial ratios, and 27 companies' crisis occurred during the period 2008–2009. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to examine the...
In the real economy, consumer personal Internet consumption behavior often have influence others and the society. Internet consumption have external economic effect and external diseconomical effect. This paper studies the external Internet consumption diseconomic problems.The conclusion has certain significance in solving problems of network consupmtion
Due to the characteristics of construction projects such as only one time establishment, big investment scale, complicated structure and high energy consumption in operation process, the cost management theories and methods of construction projects are different from other general products. This paper proposes to apply VE to the total life cycle of construction projects, and also proposes a dynamic...
The benefit of efficient knowledge management has been increasingly recognized by the construction industry globally and in China. However, there are very few studies on the current status of the knowledge management practice in Chinese construction industry. This research is based on a comprehensive survey carried out in many major cities in China, and it provides first-hand data on how tacit knowledge...
Researchers and practitioners have taken an increasing interest in analyzing outsourcing, particularly with regard to selecting contracts. In several situations, there is more than one person who is in charge of decision processes related to outsourcing and the preferences of all those involved must be considered in an appropriate way. Therefore, this paper sets out a model for selecting subcontractors...
Construction companies over the last years the have been implementing ERP systems to integrate their business processes and to become more efficient. Due to the complexity of the factors involved in the construction industry, the selection of an ERP system is a difficult process. This paper proposes a methodology applying the fuzzy set theory to the selection process an ERP system for companies within...
The benefits brought by information sharing in construction supply chain (ISCSC) can be manifested in many aspects. The calculation of added-value generated from information sharing is complicated and difficult, and this paper proposes to measure the above-mentioned benefits from three aspects: construction period, cost and quality. By establishing mathematical equations of added-value in terms of...
Through measures of making full use of the limited infrastructure, the introduction of supply chain management and cooperation strategy and information technology, the current construction enterprises can improve their customer service, shorten the production cycle, improve production quality and strengthen its competitiveness. Based on the analysis of supply chain synergy in construction enterprises,...
Nowadays, the growth of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) is one of the important criteria for assessing the rate of success for each country and governments try to expand it among societies. At present, in the ongoing emphasis to be competitive and survive, organizations need to continuously improve the goods and services to meet customers' and stakeholders' needs. This study examines the...
There are many advantages on industrial building construction than traditional ones, such as consuming fewer resources and energy, higher labor productivity, making fewer environmental pollution, better work status of skilled workers, longer life cycle, the higher engineering quality and better construction safety. Industrial housing construction is a developing trend in China in the near future....
There are some analyses of the issues and improving measures of the construction project tender in the paper, which is beneficial to choosing excellent construction enterprises, increasing project quality, preventing corruption and helping create a fair competition environment for the participants.
BIM is a detailed expression about information of projects which is based on 3D digital technology and integrates all kinds of visualization digital architectural models of relevant information in construciton project. At the same time, it supplys scientific cooperation platform about "simulation and analysis" for designer, architect, engineer, developer and end user, and helps them utilize...
Combined with the actual situation of China's construction enterprises, based on the growth-medium-sized enterprises evaluation method published by “Research for Small Medium-sized Enterprises Development” joint research projects group, and by using fuzzy clustering analysis to analyze the eight evaluation index systematically which determine the enterprises growth, the sorting of evaluation index...
Construction enterprises are faced with safety risk which receives special attention as well as the intensive pre-control from the corporation. Based on data of Mcc Jingtang Construction Corporation (JTMCC) and understanding the safety risk and implementation of related management system measures in the construction stage, this article aims at finding solutions and direction to the risk control of...
Risk management for international project is a relatively new problem for Chinese construction companies. The research in this paper first introduces the risk management techniques for international construction projects, then analyzes the characteristics of the international projects, and finally puts forward some useful countermeasures to the possible risks which are likely to occur during the execution...
With the promotion of the bill of quantity in china, the payment system which is based on the bill of quantity has raised even stricter requirement for the final settlement. Towards all the issues exposed in the final settlement process, the owner needs to find an efficient way to control the final settlement urgently. Interior control is a method which is used in the enterprise management so as to...
The concept of technology transfer (TT) and technology exchange (TE) in construction projects can be viewed as a two-way flow which involves the transfer and exchange processes of different components of technology (i.e., knowledge, tools and skills). The transfer and exchange process could transpire at any given time or in a given project and could occur simultaneously. The application of this concept...
Carrying out the way of operation with the BT investment building has gradually become a very new and effective model among governmental economic cooperation and enterprise. It has a strong advantage of financial capability, high efficiency of construction, low government risk and higher return on investment, well favor of the government and enterprises, in line with national trends in the implementation...
ABC cost function model is established to calculate the reasonable and lowest cost of construction engineering, by using the idea of Activity-Based Costing (ABC) method that "resources consumed by activities and the products use up activities”. And then, the actual costs are calculated by combining with the accounting records and the calculation method of traditional cost. Now we get the actual...
