Investigating design changes in Malaysian building projects

Design communication within fast-track building projects

The factor time within building projects is on high pressure because the need for faster delivery of buildings is rising. Within fast-track, complex building projects the design process is an important key to fast-tracking. Based on case analyses of fast-track design processes (den Otter, Prins 2001) it became obvious that design processes function poorly within fast-track projects. Improvement...

An Information System for the Management of Changes During the Design of Building Projects

investigating the integration of translation technologies into translation programs in iranian universities: basis for a syllabus design in translation technology

today, information technology and computers are indispensable tools of any profession and translation technologies have become an indispensable part of translator’s workstation. with the increasing demands for high productivity and speed as well as consistency and with the rise of new demands for translation and localization, it is necessary for translators to be familiar with market demands an...

Merging Building Automation Network Design and IFC 2x Construction Projects

Currently, different design tools and databases are used for building automation networks and construction projects. Effort (design time, tools) can be reduced if these two design spaces can be merged. In this paper an approach for the integration of building automation network design in IFC 2x is introduced. Based on the resulting model, existing tools are to enhance in order to accomplish a h...

Modeling construction time in Spanish building projects

The literature states that project duration is affected by various scope factors. Using 168 building projects carried out in Spain, this paper uses the multiple regression analysis to develop a forecast model that allows estimating project duration of new builds. The proposed model uses project type, gross floor area (GFA), the cost/GFA relationship and number of floors as predictor variables. ...
