Damage to Treasury: Abnormally Low Tenders in Public Construction Works
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to determine the adverse effect of abnormally low tenders (ALTs) on public construction works in Turkey. A comprehensive literature review was performed to investigate the reasons of ALTs. This ...
An Adaptive Neurofuzzy Inference System for the Assessment of Change Order Management Performance in Construction
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Change order management is a major challenge in the construction business due to the associated disputes, claims, productivity losses, delays, and cost implications. As a result, effective change order management (COM) is ...
Value Engineering Factors with an Impact on Design Management Performance of Construction Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Design management is one of the most important construction project stages. Identifying the factors that impact a project’s performance is crucial for the overall success of construction projects. This research contributes ...
Impact of Change Orders on Small Labor-Intensive Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In today’s construction, small projects can be just as important if not more important than the larger projects. However, small projects are usually fast track projects, which often involve overlapping design and construction ...
Operational Framework for Managing Construction-Contract Administration Practitioners’ Perspective through Modified Delphi Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Effective construction contract administration (CCA) is a core competency for the management of construction projects. The consequences of poor contract administration can be catastrophic, and it may necessitate extensive ...
