... significant differences between the two methods, contradicting the notion that DB is a vehicle for risk transfer. Originality/value This work is the first to provide detailed impacts and comparisons across cost and schedule goals during the PDM selection stage, offering insights into decision-making...

... framework is proposed. Findings The study developed an Agile-BIM implementation framework that provides guidance for creating an Agile-BIM implementation plan in a public sector construction project and supports decision-making, in addition to clarifying the decision context for decision-makers...

...), the contractor claim decision-making strategy is a truthful claim, while in the situation (C*d1-nC1*d1<0, v2-v1-g>0) and (C*d1-nC1*d1<0, v2-v1-g<0), the contractor claim decision-making strategy is a high-price claim. The discount factor will affect the decision-making rate. It is noted...

... the priorities of these LCTs. Through comprehensive analysis, the final LCT solutions could be carried out. Findings Our practice proves that the evaluation model combined with the decision-making methods can provide scientific decision-making support for the LCT solutions. Some LCTs perform consistently...

...Marjan Pouraghajan; Sara Omrani; Robin Drogemuller Purpose This study addresses the global landscape of offsite construction, highlighting its variable adoption patterns and the challenge posed by the prevalent use of suboptimal decision-making methods. In response, the decision-making model seeks...

... alternative for real estate development projects while maximizing customer satisfaction and project profit. Design/methodology/approach The research proposes a model that generates all construction phasing alternatives and performs decision-making to rank all possible phasing alternatives. The proposed...

... alternatives of steel pedestrian bridges (SPBs). The cost estimation process uses two main parameters, but the main goal is to create a cost estimation model. Design/methodology/approach This study explores a flexible model design that uses computing capabilities for decision-making. Using cost...

...Ernesto Pillajo; Claudio Mourgues; Vicente A. González Purpose Information technology provides important support for on-site decision-making of field personnel. Most literature focuses on the technological aspects of decision-support systems, without fully understanding the information required...

.../methodology/approach This study proposed a dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) model to examine the relationship between CTM and CTF. The model investigates the time performance of a construction project that enhances decision-making. First, the paper establishes a model of probabilistic reasoning and directed...

... heuristic rule provides the simulation with the decision‐making ability for allocating limited resources during simulation. Predefined entity management strategies control the movements of simulation entities so as to model some complex features of construction operations. An activity object‐oriented (AOO...

... objective decision‐making. The paper is taken from a 5‐year PhD study undertaken by the first author, which investigated the origins of the decision to build undertaken by leading clients. The clients sampled had a total annual construction budget of between £700 million and £1000 million in the year...
