Causes of Delay in Large Building Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)The present paper outlines the main causes of delay in large building projects in Saudi Arabia and their relative importance. A survey of a randomly selected sample of 24 contractors, 15 architectural/engineering firms ... -
Assessing Real Estate Project Success Using an Analytic Network Process
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Various measures exist to assess the success of real estate projects. The major objective of this study is to propose a comprehensive success model for real estate projects considering both short-term and long-term ... -
Effects of Contract Strategy on Interpersonal Relations and Project Outcomes of Public-Sector Construction Contracts in Australia
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Hitherto, it is not known if the integration of relationship concepts into traditional public-sector construction contracts would improve project performance. This study hence examines the effects of contract strategies ... -
Alternative Approach for Conducting Construction Management Research: Quasi-Experimentation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Construction management (CM) as an applied academic discipline has a dual mission of creating scientific knowledge and solving practical problems. To do this, proper research approaches are required. Traditionally, CM ... -
Information-Integration Maturity Model for the Capital Projects Industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This paper presents an information integration maturity model for the capital projects industry. Due to the trends of construction projects becoming more globalized and their processes being conducted more concurrently, ... -
Application of KDD Techniques to Extract Useful Knowledge from Labor Resources Data in Industrial Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Improper management of labor resources is one of the main causes of schedule delays and budget overruns in industrial construction projects. During management of these projects, a vast amount of data is collected and ... -
Correlation Analysis of Capital and Life Cycle Costs in Private Financial Initiative Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Although private financial initiative (PFI) projects have proved to be more expensive to build, the U.K. government believed that it can spend more for less, delivering better value for money (VFM) to public projects. The ... -
Role of Leadership in Fostering an Innovation Climate in Construction Firms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The construction industry makes an essential contribution to the environmental and economic development of Hong Kong. However, hindered by various factors, construction has long been recognized as an industry with low ... -
Defining Best Value for Construction Manager/General Contractor Projects: The CMGC Learning Curve
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Construction manager/general contractor (CMGC) project delivery is rapidly being implemented to deliver the full gamut of highway projects across the United States. One issue that must be resolved before a public transportation ... -
Economic Performance Assessment for the Construction Industry in the Southeastern United States
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The construction industry has long been considered a staple of society in that the industry is imperative for the sustainability of economies. The relationship between the construction industry and macroeconomics has gained ... -
Forming Risk Clusters in Projects to Improve Coordination between Risk Owners
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Due to the growing complexity of projects, their risks have increased in number and criticality. Risk lists thus need to be broken down into smaller, more manageable clusters. Classical clustering techniques are generally ... -
Review of Contemporary Construction Procurement Practices
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Procurement is a key process in a construction project that creates and manages contacts. Procurement activities span from identification of requirements to project closeout, making it a perfect mode for integrating ... -
Impact of Transaction Attributes on Transaction Costs in Project Alliances: Disaggregated Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Previous alliancing research has seldom addressed the implication of transaction costs and the impact of transaction attributes on transaction costs in project alliancing. Using multiple regression analysis on a sample of ... -
Impact of National Culture on the Management Practices of Construction Projects in the United Arab Emirates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Culture plays an important role in Arab Middle East society. Its unique historical, social, and religious traditions require special attention to cultural traits in the exercise of authority, control, and interaction. ... -
Fuzzy Assessment Model to Estimate the Probability of Delay in Turkish Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The aim of this paper is to propose a decision support tool for contractors before the bidding stage to quantify the probability of delay in construction projects in Turkey by using the relative importance index (RII) ... -
Comparison of Predictive Cost Models for Bridge Replacement Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Predicting the cost of bridge replacement is essential to estimate present and future bridge funding needs. This paper presents a multilevel predictive cost model for bridge replacement projects with random effects. Both ... -
Perception of Residual Value Risk in Public Private Partnership Projects: Critical Review
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Given the increased demand for public facilities and the lack of funds and skills to maintain, repair, and replenish the existing facilities, public private partnerships (PPPs) have been widely adopted and have significantly ...
