Benefits of Constructability on Construction Projects

Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 2001
This study was undertaken to identify the most significant gaps between the potential benefits of applying constructability principles to Alberta, Canada, industrial projects and the benefits typically realized in industry practice. This study also aims to gain an understanding of the barriers that commonly restrict constructability benefits.

Construction Projects

This chapter provides a general introduction to the companion, to FIDIC as an organisation and to the FIDIC contractual framework. It also includes a general guide to drafting international contracts as well as a more specific guide to drafting FIDIC based contracts.

Virtual building for construction projects

IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, 2004
Although computer-aided design is widely used in the architecture-engineering-construction (AEC) industry, the exchange of information is still largely a manual process, where 2D paper drawings are reviewed to identify conflicts. Obviously, this process is time consuming and inefficient - not only do many conflicts go undetected but it's nearly ...

Systematizing Construction Project Evaluations

Journal of Management in Engineering, 1996
Present trends toward multiparticipant megaprojects have heightened the need for effective and efficient evaluations by stakeholders, both of themselves and of fellow participants. Feedback from such evaluations helps improve the management of ongoing and oncoming projects. It also assists in a more objective selection of suitable organizational and/or

Pragmatism’s Constructive Project

2014
Among the many strengths of The Pragmatic Turn are Richard Bernstein’s understanding of and sympathy with a large number of voices within the broad pragmatist tradition, his ability to set those voices in conver- sation with one another, and his keen ear for the moments at which they start to bluster or to mumble or simply to dry up altogether.

Ethics in construction project briefing

Science and Engineering Ethics, 2004
The research reported in this paper set out to investigate ethics in the initial stages of construction projects. Briefing is the first real contact stage between the commissioner (client/employer) of a project--at this stage a potential project--and those involved in project realization--the designers and, subsequently, the constructors.

Constructing the Infimum of Two Projections

2012
An elementary algorithm for computing the infimum of two projections in a Hilbert space is examined constructively. It is shown that in order to obtain a constructive convergence proof for the algorithm, one must add some hypotheses such as Markov's principle or the locatedness of a certain range; and that in the finite-dimensional case, the existence ...

Calculation of contingency in construction projects

IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management, 2003
This paper presents a probabilistic model that considers the random nature of change orders and their impact on the cost and schedule of a construction project. The model incorporates uncertainties in project cost and schedule and calculates the contingency based on the level of confidence specified by the owner.
