This paper provides a method based on information theory for risk analysis and evaluation. A basic method to construction site risk evaluation by Shannon entropy is used. Safety and technical risk of the building construction process has been calculated by Shannon’s entropy which provides information of the system, of various kinds under uncertainties. The method has been applied to a case stud...

Numerous authors are persistent in investigating the competency profile of ideal construction project manager order to decrease failure rate projects. There is evidence for change management, from traditional practices more focused on people and working relationships. The literature demonstrates a positive correlation between manager’s Emotional intelligence success but less written about mecha...

Multi-stakeholder based construction projects are subject to various risk factors due to 17 dynamic business environments. These risks affect project activities which indirectly impact 18 construction costs, resulting in delays and poor building quality. So, managing these project risks 19 requires suitable risk mitigation strategies to evaluate and analyse their severity. Hence, risk 20 evalua...

Construction schedules exist in many forms to serve many purposes. They are prepared by various means by different individuals either manually or aided by computer software. Work which is underway to automate the production of schedules is now being supplemented by the development of an evaluation package for general usage . Outlined in this paper are aspects of a research project which uses ar...

The most important aim of every project is on time completion, budget consideration and reaching the highest possible quality, based on contract. This paper suggests a methodology for risk management in engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) projects. Risk management enables project teams to perform with minimum deviation from predetermined goals. The proposed methodology identifies a...

the performance of organizational projects has an eminentrole in successfully implementing strategies. this is especially importantin project-based organizations whose business is projects. parentorganization as one of the groups that determines projects’ success andfailure has various functions regarding its projects. identifying thesefunctions develops literature on project-based organization...

A persistent problem in construction is to documenting changes which occur in the field and preparing the as-built schedule. In current practice, deviations from planned performance can only be reported after significant time has elapsed. And manual monitoring on construction sites is costly and error prone. Availability of advanced portable computing, multimedia and wireless communication allo...
