Construction Methods and Planning by J.R. Illingworth Pdf

This new edition of John Illingworth's popular book provides a thorough introduction to the selection of construction methods, their planning and organization on site. Thoroughly revised and updated, Construction Methods and Planning takes a practical, down-to-earth approach and features numerous examples and illustrations taken from real situations and sites. In Part One, the main factors which determine the planning of construction methods - site inspections, the site itself, temporary works, design, cost concepts and selection of plant and methods - are discussed. In Part Two, the application of these tools is presented, covering foundations and basements, in situ and precast concrete structures, steel frames, cladding, internal and external works, waste, methods statements, contract planning control and claims. The author provides an extension of the concept of 'buildability' and new chapters on facade retention and the refurbishment of domestic accommodation.

Quality Function Deployment for Buildable and Sustainable Construction by Singhaputtangkul Natee,Sui Pheng Low,Evelyn A. L. Teo Pdf

This book focuses on the implementation of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) in the construction industry as a tool to help building designers arrive at optimal decisions for external envelope systems with sustainable and buildable design goals. In particular, the book integrates special features into the conventional QFD tool to enhance its performance. These features include a fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making method, fuzzy consensus scheme, and Knowledge Management System (KMS). This integration results in a more robust decision support tool, known as the Knowledge-based Decision Support System QFD (KBDSS-QFD) tool. As an example, the KBDSS-QFD tool is used for the assessment of building envelope materials and designs for high-rise residential buildings in Singapore in the early design stage. The book provides the reader with a conceptual framework for understanding the development of the KBDSS-QFD tool. The framework is presented in a generalized form in order to benefit building professionals, decision makers, analysts, academics and researchers, who can use the findings as guiding principles to achieve optimal solutions and boost efficiency.

Buildability in Practice by Ian Ferguson Pdf

This guide for professionals involved at all stages of a construction project begins by defining buildability and its principles, and then shows how those principles apply to the design costing and communication methods employed by designers, and to the preparation and assembly methods used by constructors. The final section consists of two extended case studies - of a city centre commercial building and a private housing development - which show the operation of buildability in detail, at each stage of a project.

Improved Analysis Skills for Production Planninng in Constuction by David Moore Pdf

Summary: This book covers five main areas: fragmentation as a problem in the construction industry; the need to appreciate that production is not an accident and has to be planned; the use of systems analysis in aiding the planning of production; the relevance of buildability models in appreciating the complexities and changing nature of production; and the problems of making effective decisions within a fragmented and complex planning environment. The book is aimed at any company or manager involved in the management of live construction projects - and particularly those which are large and complex. In particular: project managers, construction managers, project planners and contracts managers will find it of interest Contents: The fragmentation problem Production is not an accident Systems analysis for construction The limits of control Buildability models: everything, or hardly anything? How good do you need to be? Practice, practice, practice References Buildability bibliography

Automation and Robotics in Construction XI by Alan Chamberlain Pdf

Sourced from international experts, this book presents papers dealing with a wide range of soft and hard research issues at various stages of development in the field. Some cover entirely new ground, whilst others reflect progress on the sometimes frustrating path to truly robust technology. Of particular interest are contributions discussing issues of exploitation and commercialisation, the integration of end products within the design and construction processes incorporating information technology (IT) and the impact of the emerging technology on the culture and organisation of the construction industry. A mark of growing maturity is apparent in the coverage of health and safety and related social issues. This is complemented by a clear commitment to the consideration of human factors and the environment. It is hoped that by promoting a wider debate on the matters of future technology and its horizons, on the identification of what industry needs from the research and development community and on building effective partnerships between academia, industry and government, the publication not only addresses the practical commercial obligation to seek robust solutions for today's problems, but will stimulate research for the years to come.

Model-Based Systems Engineering by A. Wayne Wymore Pdf

Model-Based Systems Engineering explains the fundamental theories behind model-based systems and the considerations involved in applying theory to the design of real systems. The book begins by presenting terms used in systems engineering and introducing the discrete system and its components. The remainder of the text explains topics such as the mathematical theory of system coupling, the homomorphic relationship between systems, the concept of system mode, the mathematical structure of T3SD system requirements, and the implications of that structure for T3SD system design. Appendices include a short bibliography, detailed definitions of all examples discussed in the text, a list of all notations used, and an index. Model-Based Systems Engineering is an excellent text for engineering students, and an invaluable reference for engineers and scientists.

Japanese Contractors in Overseas Markets by Kazuhito Suzuki,Low Sui Pheng Pdf

This book explores the differences in cultural attributes and management factors to enable managers working for Japanese contractors to reduce misunderstandings and misinterpretations when communicating with project team members from different cultural backgrounds. It focuses on Japanese contractors operating in Singapore, since the Singapore construction industry has, for many years, been one of the largest overseas construction markets for the top-5 Japanese contractors. Using Hofstede’s national cultural framework for the cultural studies in construction project management, it reveals various real-world management practices and discusses national cultural differences relating to managers working for Japanese contractors in Singapore as well as the communication weaknesses of current management practices and styles. The results presented provide useful lessons for Japanese contractors operating in Singapore, as well as other parts of the world, to bridge cultural and communication gaps.
