1. A process model for work-flow management in construction
Abstract : This thesis describes a novel approach for management of work-flow in construction, based on the combination of location-based scheduling and modelling with 4D CAD. Construction planners need to carefully design a process that ensures a continuous and reliable flow of resources through different locations in a project. READ MORE

2. Modular long-span timber structures : a systematic framework for buildable construction
Abstract : One of the identified reasons for the low amount of timber construction in Sweden is a general lack of knowledge about timber engineering and how timber can be used to its full advantage. One way for increased timber construction is the development of a cost-efficient and easy to comprehend building system. READ MORE

3. Supplying engineer-to-order joinery products to the construction Industry
Abstract : The supplying of engineer-to-order joinery products to the construction industryis considered a novel research area in the wood-related literature as well as in theconstruction-related literature. The process of supplying the construction industrywith highly refined one-of-a-kind wood products is examined in this thesis, andmore specifically, an organization using a mixture of concept-to-order and designto-order production strategies to produce Engineer-to-order Joinery Products.

4. Suggestions for innovation in the supplying of joinery products through the application of Lean-thinking and 3-D sensing
Abstract : The supplying of engineer-to-order joinery products to the construction industry is a novel research area in both the wood-related and the construction-related fields. The process of supplying the construction industry with highly refined one-of-a-kind wood products is here examined in order to explore possible process innovations to identify factors contributing to inefficiency, to define areas for innovation to improve industry performance, and to evaluate 3-D sensing technologies as a way of achieving a model-based joinery production.
