Building Information Modeling (BIM) refers to a detailed digital representation of facility that includes geometry and information aid in the project's design procurement. Lean Construction (LC) is an approach for developing construction systems minimise waste time, materials labour while maximising project potential value. Certainly, industry prioritises practical solutions over theoretical principles concepts. Although previous BIM-Lean initiatives have demonstrated benefits like higher...

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an advanced representation of a facility that includes exact geometry and related information to aid in the project's design procurement. Lean Construction (LC) approach for developing construction systems minimise waste time, materials labour while maximising project potential value. However, industry prioritises practical solutions over principles concepts. Even though it only concept, previous BIM-Lean initiatives have demonstrated benefits increased...

Abstract Construction materials are vital elements at construction sites to run the project successfully. However, current practice of material tracking systems uses manual methods with several drawbacks. Intelligent and effective solutions based on advanced technology alternatives enhance existing management systems. Thus, this study was undertaken identify potential Near Field Communication (NFC) implementation for sites. Furthermore, a prototype developed using NFC assess evaluate its...

Wind-induced loads and motions play a critical role in designing tall buildings their lateral structural systems. Building configuration represented by its outer shape is key parameter determining these responses. However, contemporary architecture trends towards creating taller with more complex geometrical shapes to offer unique designs that become signature on the map of world. As result, evaluating wind-induced such structures becomes challenging be evaluated predicted. This paper...

Construction materials usually constitute a major portion of the total cost in building construction project. Materials management Is made problematic by shortages, delays supply, price fluctuations, damage and wastage, lack storage space. Despite potential benefit ICT, convincing organisations to embrace its use implementation has proved difficult task. This study seeks identify ICT for processes projects. The findings from case studies reveal that projects Malaysia at early stage....

Tall buildings with irregular shapes and considerable heights are gaining popularity in creating the vertical cities around world. They also considered one of major energy consumers little regards to sustainability. building is wind-sensitive structure shape plays role determining wind loads, which usually govern design its lateral resisting system. Thus, evaluating loads properly designing an optimal system accordingly main challenges attributed process tall building. This paper presents a...

Purpose Human resource planning (HRP) is important during workforce supply to help organizations appoint the right people in job. However, few studies have considered role of HRP practices for local Malaysian construction industry. The purpose this paper identify implementation and framework development influencing factors Design/methodology/approach A mixed method was adopted interpret data semi‐structured interviews questionnaire survey. Semi‐structured were conducted with ten interviewees...

Abstract Construction projects are more often than not plagued by poor performances such as delays, cost overrun, low productivity, construction wastes and compromised quality. Amongst the critical contributory factors of project performances, is ineffectiveness materials management occurring in sites. Indeed, a very important component for projects. However, there only limited numbers research available regarding this topic. Thus, focuses its study on management, specifically identifying...

The project management has been described as managing resources on a given activity of an organisation unit dedicated in order to meet the attainment goal and successful completion development project. Developing best practice is big challenge which must be conformance with predetermined performance specifications avoid delays, overrun cost, quality reduction specific requirements stakeholders well. This research paper reviews literature relevant success determines these criteria value iron...

An essential factor adversely affecting the performance of construction projects is improper handling materials during site activities. In addition, paper-based reports are mostly used to record and exchange information related material components within supply chain, which problematic inefficient. Generally, technologies (such as wireless systems RFID) not being adequately overcome human errors well integrated with project management make tracking easier faster. Findings from a literature...

In Yemen and other developing countries, many construction projects experience extensive delays by exceeding their initial completion time thereby leading to several reported effects which among others include: cost overrun; litigation; arbitration; failure; abandonment. Although variability in prevailing conditions warrants influential factors causing such differ an oft-cited approach implemented mitigate these is enhancing the collaboration of stakeholders project delivery. While this...

The construction industry involves one of the most hazardous occupation for workers due to complex management processes, environmental issues, work pressure and heavy complicated equipment involved in modern projects. Despite advancement technology industry, an escalating number fatal accidents occur because human errors unsafe behaviours. In this research, analysis previous studies has been conducted define all safety behavioural factors improving performance industry. All were categorised...

Development of the construction industry generated waste which can contribute towards environmental issues. Weaknesses compliance in management especially site have also contributed to big issues landfills and illegal dumping area. This gives sign that projects are needed a systematic management. To date, comprehensive criteria management, particularly for project developing countries such as Malaysia is still not systematically defined. Therefore, needs further investigation. paper aims...

Corrosion of steel in reinforced concrete is one the main issues among construction stakeholders. The consequences corrosion include loss cross section area, generation expansive pressure which caused cracking concrete, spalling and delaminating cover. Thus, it reduces bond strength between reinforcing bar deteriorating structure. objective this study to investigate structural effects damage on performance beam. A series corroded beam with a rate 0%, 20% 40% rebar used parametric assess...

A search into the literature showed that there is still a dearth of studies on categorisation and roles stakeholders involved in disaster management. This might not be unconnected with soaring trend both natural man-made globally. Therefore, aim this study to examine role militating prevalence our contemporary society. The method used assembling relevant data review literature. found out are diverse ways categorizing management previous studies. study, after perusing through existing came...

Materials tracking for materials management play a vital role and contributed major portion of the total cost in construction project. In addition, improper handling storage at site has made it difficult to track locate time are needed carry out works. These problems subsequently contribute project delays increase costs. Thus, this paper seeks identify regarding current material practices processes. paper, ICT potential implementation Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) automatic is also...

Nowadays, the Malaysian construction industry is moving forward to roll out technology advantage across project life-cycle for enhancing human development skills.Therefore, government has adopted industrialized building systems (IBS) enhance control and balance of workforce supply overall performance achievement.However, challenges faced by such as delay completion projects was due poor contractors' practices.In addition, there are significant related practices instance shortage skill,...
