2. 1. On-site production synchronisation : improving the resource-flow in construction projects

   Author : Håkan Norberg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Construction Engineering and Management; Byggproduktion;

   Abstract : This thesis presents a process model to support the synchronisation of work flow and resource flows in construction projects. The process model is based on a combination of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and construction management methods. Work-flow is defined as the flow of work on-site, i.e. READ MORE

4. 2. The Planning Process at a Construction Site

   Author : FREDRIK CHRISTIANSEN; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; construction; Planning; site management; control; coordination; practice;

   Abstract : Planning, coordination and control processes are integral parts of construction project management. Although construction projects are repetitive and their execution is routine, practitioners find themselves at a crossroad deciding whether to specify a detailed course of action or to allow it to develop over the duration of the project.

5. 3. Modelling and simulation of factors influencing on-site construction of concrete frameworks : Studying the effects of resource allocation, weather conditions, and climate-improved concrete

   Author : Robert Larsson; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Discrete-event simulation DES ; Concrete; Structural frames; Productivity; Resource use; Weather; Carbon Emissions;

   Abstract : Concrete is the most common material used to build the structural framework in multistory buildings. However, the construction works carried out on the building site are affected by many different factors that may reduce productivity. READ MORE

6. 4. Managing Change for Increased Innovation in the Infrastructure Sector Exploring a Client's Strategy Implementation

   Author : Anna-Therése Järvenpää; Malena Havenvid; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Byggproduktion och teknik; Construction Management and Building Technology;

   Abstract : Strategy implementation for driving innovation and change within the infrastructure sector is important because the path from making a decision to change to actually reaching the intended vision is complex. A client needs to find strategies for how to stimulate innovation when the client has to go via the contractor during the execution of a project. READ MORE

7. 5. A generic construction process modelling method

   Author : Vesa Karhu; KTH; []
   Keywords : process; modelling; generic; method; database; view;

   Abstract : A variety of modelling methods has been used to modelconstruction processes and projects, either during normalproject planning or for process re-engineering efforts orresearch. One common method, which is widely used byconstruction industry practitioners, is scheduling. READ MORE
