Application of Lean Construction Concepts to Manage the Submittal Process in AEC Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Office processes are repetitive, common to multiple projects, involve multiple specialists, and are necessary to support the work of trades. Not much attention has been given to the management of office-related processes ... -
Conceptual Models for Infrastructure Leadership
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)In policy and aspirational documents both the American Society of Civil Engineers and the National Academy of Engineering have called for engineers of the 21st century to take a leading role in infrastructure discussions ... -
Understanding Construction Delay Analysis and the Role of Preconstruction Programming
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Modern construction projects commonly suffer from delay in their completions. The resolution of time and cost claims consequently flowing from such delays continues to remain a difficult undertaking for all project parties. ... -
Cost Control in Mega Projects Using the Delphi Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)A major driver to project success is the ability to manage the project cost effectively. Despite agreement among scholars and practitioners on the importance of managing the project cost, major projects continue to experience ... -
Impact of Risk on Design-Build Selection for Highway Design and Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The design-build (DB) project delivery method continues to grow as a viable alternative delivery method for highway projects. The primary reason for selecting DB delivery is to take advantage of the time savings inherent ... -
Bid Compensation Theory and Strategies for Projects with Heterogeneous Bidders: A Game Theoretic Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Practitioners involved in large-scale, complex projects have long been searching for strategies that encourage bidders to invest more effort in project planning and schematic design during the bid preparation process. ... -
Links between Successful Innovation Diffusion and Stakeholder Engagement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Stakeholders can positively assist or hinder attempts at innovation. Much depends on the nature of their engagement. The stakeholder engagement process can be complex and unpredictable, more so if no strategic plan is put ... -
Comparison of Personality Traits among Estimators, Project Managers, and the Population
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The intuitive hypothesis that construction management professionals (CMPs) must have a high level of people skills implies that they should be different than the population at large in terms of people skills. In addition, ... -
Emotional Intelligence for Managing Conflicts in the Sociocultural Norms of the Thai Construction Industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Although research has been done to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence and conflict-resolution styles, such research has not been done in the construction industry particularly by considering the ... -
Public-Private Partnership Experience in the International Arena: Case of Turkey
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Public-private partnership (PPP) models are frequently used in construction projects worldwide. The experiences of developed and developing countries vary depending on existing legal, economical, social, and political ... -
Analysis of the Relationships between Value Management Techniques, Conflict Management, and Workshop Satisfaction of Construction Participants
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The benefits of value management (VM) are becoming more prominent in the contemporary construction industry. VM techniques aim to identify project goals and achieve participant satisfaction. However, because of incompatible ... -
Role of Human Resource Practices in Enhancing Organizational Learning in Chinese Construction Organizations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)While previous studies have found that human resource management has positive effects on innovation and organizational performance, the processes through which human resource management leads to organizational performance ... -
Assessment Model for Energy Consumption and Greenhouse Gas Emissions during Building Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Many studies use life-cycle assessment (LCA) as a tool to quantify the environmental impact of buildings. Most of these studies have focused on the maintenance and operation phases of construction projects, which account ... -
Integration and Leadership as Enablers of Innovation in Construction: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Adopting innovations in construction is challenging due to the fragmented and project-based nature of the industry. As construction innovation is a joint activity with a number of participants involved in the process, it ... -
Fundamental Project Quality Assurance Organizations in Highway Design and Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Alternative project delivery methods and reductions in state highway agency staffing are changing project quality assurance organizations (QAO) or the assignment of project quality management roles and responsibilities in ... -
Improving Data Quality in Construction Engineering Projects: An Action Design Research Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The topic of data and information quality (DQ/IQ) is a longstanding issue of interest in both academia and practice in the construction engineering field. Poor DQ/IQ has led to poor engineering drawings that, in turn, have ... -
Criteria for Architects and Engineers to Achieve Sustainability and Buildability in Building Envelope Designs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Sustainability and buildability in building envelope design have gained more importance in recent years, yet there is a lack of an appropriate set of criteria for applicability assessment of building envelope materials and ... -
