  2. 1. Developing a collaborative planning tool for construction - A Building Information Model-enhanced planning and scheduling tool for production

    Author : Mikael Viklund Tallgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Collaborative planning process; BIM; Construction Informatics; Information Technology in construction; Design Science;

    Abstract : Construction projects are becoming increasingly complex with a higher degree of specialization, resulting in more sub-contractors as well as in more information needed in the project. This results in a bigger project organization with an increased need for information exchange, an area where construction has been criticized by academics. READ MORE

  4. 2. Aerogel-based plasters for renovation of buildings in Sweden: Identification of possibilities, information deficiencies and challenges

    Author : Ali Naman Karim; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
