  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. Organizational tensions when managing interorganizational projects : Applying a paradox perspective on large construction projects in Sweden

    Author : Henrik Szentes; Paul W. Chan; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Construction Engineering and Management; Byggproduktion;

    Abstract : Over the years, technological developments and societal changes have forced companies to modify their organizing practices. Companies operating in the construction sector are no exception, but due to their project-based structure, it is more difficult to coordinate change initiatives. READ MORE

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

    Author : Ali Naman Karim; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; compatibility; durability; plaster; mechanical; render; energy efficient retrofitting; hygrothermal; renovation; listed building; Aerogel;

    Abstract : Aerogel-based plasters are a class of high energy efficient wall finishes with declared thermal conductivities around 30-50 mW/(m∙K). Aerogel-based plasters are promising alternatives to substitute conventional insulation materials when renovating uninsulated building envelopes. READ MORE

  6. 4. Virtual Collaborative Design Environment: Information structure and interfaces

    Author : Shahin Sateei; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cross-project learning; Collaborative Virtual Environment CVE ; Design Guidelines; virtual reality; Head-mounted display HMD ; User involvement;

    Abstract : The failure to identify design issues in early phases of construction projects has been identified as a significant cause of costly rework, as these issues can impact the building occupants’ abilities to efficiently perform their daily work tasks. Therefore, it is crucial to consider their feedback when design reviewing. READ MORE

  7. 5. Decision making in construction projects

    Author : Eija Meriläinen; Elina Mäkelä; Karlos Artto; Finland Esbo Aalto University; []
    Keywords : SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; construction project; decision; decision making; complexity; systems thinking;

    Abstract : The thesis draws the focus to the construction project organization and the decisions that are taken to advance the project towards its purpose. Decisions are seen as thrusts towards the purpose, the client's peak in the fitness landscape, and they are taken to cross the chasm between the current and the goal state.
