Low-income housing : alternative strategies for building construction and project control
Housing low-income groups, who cannot afford even the most minimal shelter, remains a dominant issue in most developing countries. However, all the solutions advanced so far depend on large investments, either by the Government or by the individuals concerned, which neither of them can afford. This …

An integrated model-based approach to improving project control in Department of Defense acquisition
… of an Earned Value Management System (EVMS) to control large, complex engineering projects. According to academic literature, the earned value method can be an effective project control technique but also has significant flaws. Modern integrated project models allow for innovative new approaches …

Development of an integrated BIM-enabled approach for construction progress monitoring
Successful construction project management and control is highly dependent on information. Early detection of actual and potential schedule delays or cost overruns in construction activities is vital to project control. Time and cost are identified as the two most objective progress performance …

Control of construction contracts. Analysis of systems for the control of progress, quality and cost of construction to the client, based upon six cases in building or civil engineering in the UK.
Six civil engineering and building projects under construction have been observed in order to compare theory and practice, and thus draw conclusions on how Clients and their management teams may control construction effectively. It has been reported and the six studies have shown that during …

Time / schedule control of engineering projects in the South Western Cape
In the evolution of project management as a distinct field of management, there seems to have developed greatly disjointed theory on project control. As a result, the modern practitioner is often faced with contradictory and confusing advice on project time/schedule control requirements. This …

Knowledge Discovery and Machine Learning in Construction Project Databases
… framework was developed to convert construction project data into knowledge. This paper shows the nine steps in the KDD process: (i) understanding and defining the problem, (ii) collecting data, (iii) exploring data, (iv) cleaning data, (v) enhancing data, (vi) selecting data attributes, (vii) …

The impact of visual production management on construction project controls: a case-based reasoning
Over the past decade, production control theories such as the Last Planner System by Ballard, G., (2000) have emerged that stabilize workflows by shielding the direct work from upstream variation and uncertainty. Although theories have been well documented, yet their full-scale implementation is …

The design of human-information interfaces for visual production management in construction
… production management (VPM) system for proactive project controls on construction site. A comprehensive contextual inquiry of utilizing VPM in planning and coordination practices is performed to analyze the key functions and workflow in order to reach VPM’s full potential to improve communication, …

Automated Spatial Progress Monitoring for Asphalt Road Construction Projects
… actions. At least 77% of transportation projects experience cost overruns, and as much as 75% of these overruns have been attributed to “real” construction management factors like progress monitoring. Progress is measured on road construction sites in terms of completion percentages at …

A systematic approach for architecting a knowledge management system for project management
Project managers from varying industries face common challenges that exist in complex projects. Examples include: product and resource dependencies, poor communication of critical information within a project, lack of project control, lack of adequate tools to manage resources, etc. Best practices …

A Development of Performance Metrics for Forecasting Schedule Slippage
Project schedules should mirror the project, as the project takes place. Accurate project schedules, when updated and revised, reflect the actual progress of construction as performed in the field. Various methods for monitoring progress of construction are successful in their representation of …

A Systematic Framework for Machine Learning-Based Robust Project Scheduling Under Uncertainty
Project-oriented organisations continue to face challenges, such as delays and cost overruns, throughout the execution of projects. These challenges arise due to the uncertainties and risks that occur throughout project execution. Classical project scheduling approaches in the field, which …

Evolving Software Development Methodologies: The Search for Accounting Clarity
… This methodology outlines distinct phases for project completion; each phase needing to be completed prior to the start of the next. The primary accounting standard for allocating costs for software development is written in the language of waterfall. Costs are either capitalized or expensed …

The use of project management procedures by construction contractors
Research into the use of project management procedures has mostly been directed at the private sector of the construction industry, despite the fact that the public sector contribute almost half of the UK's construction output, in the repair and maintenance sector of the construction industry. …
