Construction project is consideredcomplex as they involve many activities and parties related which will influence each other at different stages because an integrated array of decisions, actions, and communications are very necessary to complete the projects successfully. Besides that, a project is a system requiring fully functioning processes and procedures, tools and resources, and when any of these aspects are not working properly,many problems are tend to occur. Not only that, construction
analysis in construction projects N.Hari Raghavan, M.TECH; C.Venkatasubramanian, Ph.D. Abstract Cost, time, risks and availability of funds are the key factors in any construction project. Project managers are prone to face various risk factors that affect project cost and time duration of the project. This paper concentrates on the effect of risks on the overall cost of the construction projects. Questionnaire was prepared considering various risk factors that are associated with construction process
The Canadian construction industry has been faced by various scandals in the recent past. These scandals mainly involve corruption by engineering firms where officials in various firms engage in corrupt dealings in order to secure contracts for their firms or make huge but undeserved profits (Hudon, 2011). The Quebec construction industry, in particular, has been at the centre of controversy in the recent past, with reports indicating that corruption in the Quebec construction industry is deep and
GENERAL From the beginning of the mankind construction industry is the backbone of the growing economy of the world. In Indian scenario it contributes around 7.5% of the total GDP.In construction industry time delay and cost overrun impacts negatively on the project, which indirectly affect the growing economy of the India. The problem of delays in construction industry is a global phenomenon and there is no exception. The major concern of the construction industry is to get quality outcome, which is in
Section 1: Extent of the Study. Section 1.1: Introduction. In almost all the countries construction industry is one of major industries, which impacts greatly on the GDP. In any country, the construction industry is recognized as an economic regulator which plays a major role in the economy, providing significant contribution to the national economy. (Cheung et al. 2006). Prefabricated construction has become the new era of construction with the development of the technology. With the modern developed
Lean construction is a way to design production systems to minimize waste of materials, time and effort in order to generate the maximum possible amount of value .It is also a holistic design and delivery philosophy with an overarching aim of maximizing value to all stakeholders through systematic, synergistic and continuous improvements in the contractual arrangements, product design and method of selection, the supply chain and the workflow reliability of site operations. Lean construction much
and are interested in “best value for the money spent” The construction projects, there are numbers of constraints which effect output e.g. Labor, Environment, Location etc. So, Zero wastage is not possible for any type of project. The aim of this study work is to find reasons of material wastage on construction site of multi storied buildings and how it can be minimized. So, overall project cost can be reduced or profit maximized. The study deals with basic contents ( like classification of wastage
