MODELING AND SIMULATION OF PUBLIC HOUSING CONSTRUCTION IN HONG KONG Jonathan
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hong Kong possesses one of the world’s largest public housing stocks which provide accommodation for 3.1 million people. To meet the growing need for public housing, the government has committed to produce 50,000 public flat units (plus 35,000 units from private developers) a year as its long term housing policy. To meet this production target, contractors are facing with the challenge to further speed up the construction process. Currently, it takes 6 days to construct one floor, and some contractors can achieve one floor in 4 days. Studies are undertaking to explore the possibility of achieving one floor in two days. This paper focuses on the application of simulation technique for modeling and simulating public housing construction in Hong Kong with the intention to conclude the appropriate floor cycle construction time and necessary resource combination.

Traditionally site safety is a concern for the Architectural, Engineering & Construction (AEC) industry. In view of government of Hong Kong initiating a number of large scale AEC projects and a relative high number of serious accidents continue to occur, site safety will remain an issue for the local AEC. Recently, Building Information Modeling (BIM) or digital simulation and data management so...

In recent decade in developing countries, lack of government budget or lack of access to modern technology, persuade governments to attract private sector participation in the economy. One of the most common methods is Public-Private Partnership agreements. The real implementation of this type of partnership needs to set contracts that satisfies preferences of both parties. This research aims t...
متن کاملA Case Study of Applying Virtual Prototyping in Construction
The use of 3D computer-aided design (CAD) models to support construction project planning has been increasing in the previous year. 3D CAD models reveal more planning ideas by visually showing the construction site environment in different stages of the construction process. Using 3D CAD models together with scheduling software to prepare construction plan can identify errors in process sequenc...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of the Endogenous Dynamics of Housing Market Cycles
The purpose of this study is to model and analyze by simulation the dynamics of endogenously created oscillations in real estate (housing) prices. A system dynamics simulation model is built to understand some of the structural sources of cycles in the key housing market variables, from the perspective of construction companies. The model focuses on the economic balance dynamics between supply ...
