Abstract The construction industry is large and diverse, with lot of companies and professional bodies. This makes it thought-provoking to develop a common vision and priorities. Activities in the industry are always term as project and these projects must be procured and managed thus making the concept of procurement and project management inevitable in the construction industry. This paper will begin by briefly introducing the reader to the construction industry and try to find and give appropriate
impact on construction sector. The construction sector, one of the engines of economic growth over the past decades, is now facing with serious challenges as companies closures ,increase in unemployement and postponded and even investment cancel. These have changed the clients and construction industry behaviour. Due to increase in competition among different companies of the construction sector increases the pressure to improve the quality, productivity and reduce cost and necessary for project strategies
theory that a great deal of project management involves avoiding problems and tackling risks involved in Projects.in this chapter, a thorough investigation will be made on the problems facing the construction industries in the UK and also in Nigeria. Furthermore, a conclusion will be made to know if these problems can be solved in order for any project to be successfully completed. PROJECT MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS IN UK CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY Project Management in construction is a well-established discipline
Abstract Briefing is the preliminary and most critical phase in construction projects which contributes to the success or failure of the project. One of the common characteristics of mega construction projects is that they include multiple stakeholders: Organizations, Clients, Governments sometimes, Consultants and the Recipients. Therefore, variable conflicts might occur between these stakeholders as a result of variations in interests, requirements, perspectives, expectations or methods of communication

Appendix #3 Project Title: The Equalization Basin Year / Duration of project: 1971/ six-months Project Objective: Replace a liner in a 250,000 gallon in-ground basin, designed for multiple waste flows of 4000 gallons a minute. The flow had high temperature, low pH and a high content of abrasive material. All material was strongly agitated. The existing Basin liner, a rubber liner covering concrete, had shredded. The agitation was delaminating the rubber liner from the concrete and the concrete
crores of rupees in countless projects. The investors / owners naturally have a right 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
LR project performance Project performance best define as a measurement of project success against the overall objectives of the project supported by Cooke-Davies (2002), project management success is measured against the traditional gauges of performance such as completing project within time, cost, and meeting scope and quality. However, each word of the term success is meant to in this study, it encompasses the above definitions, (Jugdev and Müller’s, 2005). Moreover, the success of a project
CHAPTER1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 EQUIPMENT PRODUCTIVITY IN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY The study of productivity though started very early in the field of construction, it has still been one of the chronic problems confronting the organizations having their business in this mammoth industry. Today’s rapid economic development and stiff market competition has made experts take a close note of the revenue generation and profit before executing any project of national and international importance. And lack of
works. Besides all the many tasks, which BIM can perform mentioned above; the overall usage of BIM can bring many benefits not only to the quantity surveyors but also to the whole construction industry. A list of BIM benefits stated by Nagalingam, Jayasena, and Ranadewa (2013:5) is highlighted below: • “The whole construction process becomes faster and more effective due to information being shared amongst the parties becoming faster and certain tasks taking less time to complete ; • A better design
