New Project Procurement Process
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)In the United Kingdom, partnering was proposed by Sir Michael Latham as a means of achieving 30% cost savings in a suitable organizational climate. How this is achieved within the construction industry involves not only a ... -
Finding the Optimal Contractual Arrangement for Projects on Process Job Sites
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)This paper describes how, after trying a variety of contract strategies over a 3-year period, an alliance contract developed between a client and key electrical and mechanical contractors for project work. It explains why ... -
Skunkworks Approach to Project Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)Three new product development programs attempting to meet challenging targets for time-to-market, quality, and cost were in urgent need of space and facilities. A decision was made to reengineer a light commercial building ... -
Construction Coordination Activities: What Is Important and What Consumes Time
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Coordination is an important function in the building process. Recent research has shown that poor or inadequate coordination is the best that is achieved on construction sites. Nevertheless, many authors of textbooks on ... -
Design-Builder Selection for Small Highway Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This paper offers six case studies of design-builder selection for small publicly funded highway projects across the United States. Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, New Jersey, South Carolina, and Washington State Departments ... -
Reasons for Cost and Schedule Increase for Engineering Design Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2002)Cost and schedule increases are common in engineering design projects. Some research has studied factors associated with better design performance, but the reasons for cost and schedule increases are not formally investigated. ... -
Commodities and Value-Based Pricing of Engineering Services
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This paper proposes that many civil engineering companies can be classified as either commodities or value-based providers of services. We examine the way civil engineers price and market services for these two types of ... -
Optimizing Owner/Contractor Core Competencies for Capital Programs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This paper proposes a process to help managers of capital project organizations, within owner companies, select key competencies for their capital programs and, where appropriate, leverage contractor personnel and expertise. ... -
Planning for Civil Engineering Applications of Information Technology
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Providers of civil engineering infrastructure face increasing pressure to apply information technology. Unfortunately, technology's rapid evolution renders it easy to acquire expensive equipment that quickly becomes obsolete. ... -
Effects of Accounting and Budgeting on Capital Allocation for Infrastructure Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)During the decline of public funding over the past three decades, infrastructure modernization has become increasingly dependent upon new strategies for managing the asset collection, and these strategies place a renewed ... -
Alignment during Preproject Planning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Many projects suffer when project participants are in disagreement as to the proper success emphasis or goals for the project. These differences in success emphasis are a result of poor team alignment. Alignment can be ... -
Role of Marketing Intelligence in Making Pricing Policy in Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)The pricing strategy predominantly used in construction is cost based. But this pricing logic may lead to the underpricing or overpricing of a bid offer. In response to this problem, alternate pricing strategies are proposed ... -
Comparison of Cultures in Construction and Manufacturing Industries
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)This paper investigates and compares the culture found in a construction company with that found in two manufacturing companies because large differences in culture might reduce the potential for the construction sector ... -
Improving Objectivity in Procurement Selection
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Selecting a procurement strategy for construction projects is inherently subjective. The decision is often intuitively based on the previous experience and knowledge of the decision maker. An objective-subjective procurement ... -
Strategic Management in Engineering Organizations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)The traditional philosophy of management in organizations that focus on the built environment, both in the public and private sector, places great emphasis on the ability to plan and execute projects. In contrast, a similar ... -
Evolution, Not Revolution
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Effective management of change is critical for all organizations, including those providing construction and engineering services. Organizational change is practically ubiquitous. The view of this phenomenon that prevails ... -
Application of TQM to Environmental Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2001)Cost and schedule data were obtained for 40 environmental construction projects built for the United States Navy. Total Quality Management (TQM) techniques were used during the construction of 21 of the projects. The amount ... -
