How Contractor Behavior Affects Engineering Project Value-Added Performance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Contractors are one of the most important project participants, and their behavior has gained increasing attention for improving performance, but few studies have been devoted to focusing on the forms of contractor behavior ... -
Capacity Building for an Infrastructure System in Case of Disaster Using the System's Associated Social and Technical Components
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Disasters often indirectly cause two impacts that may impede recovery: a decline in the capacity of a system because of failures in its supporting components and a surge in demand for the system's services. Therefore, there ... -
Model to Measure Adherence of Culture, Climate, and Organizational Behavior in a Construction Company
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This article presents a model developed to identify aspects of culture and climate to analyze their impact on the behavior of organizations through cognitive and emotional dimensions. The mixed methods design was adopted ... -
Information Asymmetry on Heavy Civil Projects: Deficiency Identification by Contractors and Owners
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Although a main goal of low-bid procurement is to maximize project value, the approach can actually increase project cost and duration if construction document deficiencies are not resolved early on. This study examined ... -
Guidelines for Administrating and Drafting Nonpayment Owners' Obligation Provisions under Design-Build Contracts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The obligations of the different contracting parties are set forth in most standard forms of contract. Despite that, research has shown that poor contract administration is one of the major causes of disputes in construction ... -
Organizational Behavior in Megaprojects: Integrative Review and Directions for Future Research
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Megaprojects exert substantial influence on economics, society, and the environment on a global scale. Current theory-building research in the megaproject field mainly focuses on three perspectives—the socioeconomic system, ... -
Systemic Approach for Constraint-Free Computer Maintenance Management System in Oil and Gas Engineering
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Maintenance works in oil and gas (O&G) engineering are routinely plagued by delays, cost overruns, and noncompliance. When constraints are not properly identified, subsequent conflicts could be more inevitable. This ... -
Life-Cycle Contract Management Strategies in US Highway Public–Private Partnerships: Public Control or Concessionaire Empowerment?
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Public–private partnerships (PPPs) are multilateral transactions implemented over long-time horizons; hence, they are complex arrangements that face various forms of uncertainty. These characteristics have made them a ... -
Criticality of Construction Industry Problems in Developing Countries: Analyzing Malaysian Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The problems facing the construction industry have hindered the progress and the development of this vital sector, particularly in developing countries. To investigate the salient issues, 23 widespread problems plaguing ... -
International Diversification and Performance of Construction Companies: Moderating Effect of Regional, Product, and Industry Diversifications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In today's competitive and complex construction market, construction companies must expand their business into international markets if they are to survive and remain competitive. To improve our understanding of whether ... -
Enhancing Subcontractors' Participation in BIM-Based Design Coordination under a DBB Contract
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This paper introduces a two-step subcontracting process for building information modeling (BIM)–based design coordination under a design-bid-build (DBB) contract. Although integrated project delivery (IPD) is known to be ... -
Knowledge Management Maturity and Performance in a Project Environment: Moderating Roles of Firm Size and Project Complexity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)We develop alternative theoretical models to explain the possible association between knowledge management maturity (KMM) and firm performance within a project-based firm setting. In addition to the direct maturity-performance ... -
Determinants of Adoption of Robotics in Precast Concrete Production for Buildings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Robotics is an important technological innovation in building prefabrication to fully capitalize on the benefits of off-site construction, but its uptake has been low. This paper explores the determinants affecting the ... -
Factors Influencing International Market Selection for Indian Construction Firms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)An appropriate market selection is a key element in the internationalization of firms. Although international market selection has been widely studied for manufacturing, banking, and other sectors, there has been little ... -
Differentiation of Evaluation Criteria in Design-Build and Construction Manager at Risk Procurements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The procurement processes used in the alternative contracting methods of design-build (DB) and construction manager at risk (CMAR) are heavily focused on best-value and qualifications-based selection. However, previous ... -
Relationship between BIM Implementation and Performance of OSM Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Building information modeling (BIM) and off-site manufacturing (OSM) approaches have been recognized as revolutionary methods in the construction industry. However, limited empirical studies have investigated the relations ... -
