1. Understanding Applications of Project Planning and Scheduling in Construction Projects
Abstract : Construction project life-cycle processes must be managed in a more effective and predictable way to meet project stakeholders’ needs. However, there is increasing concern about whether know-how effectively improves understanding of underlying theories of project management processes for construction organizations and their project managers.

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

3. Collaborative production planning with BIM – Design, development and evaluation of a Virtual Production Planning system
Abstract : Construction projects have for a long time been characterized by increased specialization, low productivity, and a fragmented information exchange culture, resulting in inefficient work processes, with time delays and budget overruns. Research within the context of construction planning and scheduling and IT points to improving communication, collaboration, and cooperation to address these problems. READ MORE

4. 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

5. Design Iteration Control Framework for Offsite Building Projects
Abstract : During the course of the studies this thesis is based upon a designiteration control framework for offsite building projects wasconceptualized. The ultimate goal was to develop a robust tool to assistproject managers to find the optimal balance between maintainingsufficient project-by-project iteration to solve complex designproblems, and avoiding excessive iteration, which unnecessarilycomplicates design and scheduling.
