Construction projects are often described as being complex; however, the relationship between project complexity and other key project components such as risk and uncertainty is not widely established. As part of a global research project aimed at establishing the impact of project complexity at the pre construction stage, research has been carried out to investigate this relationship. Intervie...

Lean construction is a new type of management mode of construction project, which is especially suitable for those complex, changeable and speedy construction projects. Besides, building information model (BIM) is “computable digital information” created and utilized during the design and construction of buildings. This paper takes construction project as the object and combines BIM technology ...

Risks and other uncertainties can cause losses, which lead to increasing costs and time delays,both during the project and at the end. The need to prevent failures during the constructionprocess and other losses related to construction has been emphasised in various reports.Example consequences are failure costs in civil works which can be close to 8% of the totalbudget for proj...

Construction delays are common problems in civil engineering projects in Egypt. These problems occur frequently during project life-time leading to disputes and litigation. Therefore, it is essential to study and analyze causes of construction delays. This research presents a list of construction delay causes retrieved from literature. The feedback of construction experts was obtained through i...

Uncertainty is an inherent characteristic of construction projects. Neglecting uncertainties associated with different input parameters in the planning stage could well lead to misleading and/or unachievable project schedules. The objective of this paper is to present a new approach towards scheduling repetitive construction projects while accounting for uncertainty. The paper presents an algor...
