DESIGNING ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURES OF BUILDING CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

Modeling construction time in Spanish building projects

The literature states that project duration is affected by various scope factors. Using 168 building projects carried out in Spain, this paper uses the multiple regression analysis to develop a forecast model that allows estimating project duration of new builds. The proposed model uses project type, gross floor area (GFA), the cost/GFA relationship and number of floors as predictor variables. ...

reliabilty assessment of conceptual cost estimates for building construction projects

in the early stages of a construction project, the reliability and accuracy of conceptual cost estimates are major concerns for clients and cost engineers. previous studies applied scoring methods and established common rules or mathematical methods to assess the quality of cost estimates. however, those approaches have some limitations in adapting to real-world projects or require understandin...

Designing Building Processes in Software Construction Kits

We have developed a genre of software construction kits and a framework for developing them, which is both conceptual and structural. The kits are highly graphical and highly interactive. They are characterized by two main processes: players’ building of objects from graphical elements, and the software’s activation of the constructions. The existing kits demonstrate a range of interaction desi...

designing a model for selecting construction projects in public sector

much research hasn’t been done in the area of project selection in the public sector. in this paper, we tried to choose projects in the public sector, and a linear programming model is presented. in an effort to build the model, the decision criteria were identified using the delphi method and then the criteria were reviewed at conceptual combining. the model was constructed in a linear, goal a...
