Forecasting Infidelity: Why Current Methods for Predicting Costs Miss the Mark
(ASCE, 2020)High-fidelity forecasts of construction cost indexes and material prices are critical for the successful delivery of infrastructure work projects. Unfortunately, existing models tend to underperform because they either ... -
Using Augmented Virtuality to Examine How Emotions Influence Construction-Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Safety Decisions
(ASCE, 2020)There is emerging evidence that emotional states can influence human decision making under uncertainty. However, it remains unclear if and how emotions influence people’ ability to recognize hazards, assess safety risk, ... -
Impacts of Culture on Innovation Propensity in Small to Medium Enterprises in Construction
(ASCE, 2020)Research suggests that the cultural context in which a business operates influences the level of innovation. However, research on the links between cultural factors and innovation in construction remains limited. The aim ... -
Real-Time Interaction and Cost Estimating within Immersive Virtual Environments
(ASCE, 2020)The architecture, engineering, and construction industry has increased the adoption of virtual reality (VR) tools and applications in recent years. VR is an extremely versatile tool for creating an environment through data ... -
Detecting Structural Components of Building Engineering Based on Deep-Learning Method
(ASCE, 2020)Detecting engineering structural components is the basis for intelligently managing construction engineering quality, scheduling, and costs. However, the detection of engineering structural components still cannot be done ... -
Impact of Public Sector on Sustainability of Public–Private Partnership Projects
(ASCE, 2020)This study addresses the topic of sustainability in public–private partnership (PPP) projects. From the theoretical perspective of attention-based and resource-based views, the study explores the impact of the public sector ... -
Dynamic and Proactive Risk-Based Methodology for Managing Excessive Geometric Variability Issues in Modular Construction Projects Using Bayesian Theory
(ASCE, 2020)Managing excessive geometric variability risks (i.e., out-of-tolerance and out-of-alignment issues) represents a major challenge in modular construction projects, owing to lack of accurate data on modularization process ... -
Comparative Modeling Approach to Capture the Differences in BIM Adoption Decision-Making Process in Australia and China
(ASCE, 2020)The growing rate of building information modeling (BIM) adoption inevitability adds to the importance of understanding the BIM adoption decision-making process. Several models based on systematic surveys are available in ... -
Automatic Indoor Construction Process Monitoring for Tiles Based on BIM and Computer Vision
(ASCE, 2020)For project managers, accurate, timely, and intuitive information is the key to successful decision-making during progress control at a construction site. This paper presents a method that combines computer vision with ... -
Duration and Cost Variability of Construction Activities: An Empirical Study
(ASCE, 2020)The unique nature of construction projects can mean that construction activities often suffer from duration and cost variability. Because this variability is unplanned, it can present a problem when attempting to complete ... -
Influence of Perceived Fairness on Contractors’ Potential to Dispute: Moderating Effect of Engineering Ethics
(ASCE, 2020)The relationship between the perceived fairness of administering projects’ claims and contractors’ reduced potential to disputes is probably missing in published literature in the context of engineering ethics. In the ... -
Machine Learning Algorithms for Construction Projects Delay Risk Prediction
(ASCE, 2020)Projects delays are among the most pressing challenges faced by the construction sector attributed to the sector’s complexity and its inherent delay risk sources’ interdependence. Machine learning offers an ideal set of ... -
Unpacking Ontological Perspectives in CEM Research: Everything Is Biased
(ASCE, 2020)Methodological debates are nothing new in construction engineering and management (CEM) research. However, when the consequences, and at times even the content, of such debates are considered, what often emerges is both a ... -
BIM Adoption under Government Subsidy: Technology Diffusion Perspective
(ASCE, 2020)Although building information modeling (BIM) holds the promise of significantly advancing the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) market worldwide, its widespread acceptance and adoption is still an unsolved ... -
Distributed Simulation–Based Analytics Approach for Enhancing Safety Management Systems in Industrial Construction
(ASCE, 2020)Although methods for assessing and simulating the influence of safety-related measures on safety performance have been proposed, practical applications remain limited. Data required by these methods are dispersed across ... -
Optimizing the Planning of Pedestrian Facilities Upgrade Projects to Maximize Accessibility for People with Disabilities
(ASCE, 2020)Federal and state laws require governments to ensure accessibility for people with disabilities on their pedestrian facilities. State and local governments are required to develop transition plans to upgrade inaccessible ... -
Methods for Managing Tolerance Compatibility: Windows in Cast-in-Place Concrete
(ASCE, 2020)Managing tolerances is a challenge addressed daily on construction projects, yet tolerance management methods and knowledge of such methods appear to be lacking in the architecture-engineering-construction (AEC) industry. ... -
Examining the Psychological Contract as Mediator between the Safety Behavior of Supervisors and Workers on Construction Sites
