research topic in building/construction industry

i great u all. can any 1 suggest for me a research topic concerning structural designing of buildingsin african countries.

Step by step of project management is a good tropic there are tons of resources available to gather information. Please visit http://www.constructionpmblog.com/ to more info.

topic based on construction managment for project can any one suggest me plz.

The last post in this topic was 7 1/2 years ago.

Please don't post to lnog-dead topics like this.

I need a project topic on building maintenance

Efficent site layout(see ASME stnd about factory), construction activity simulation and output rates estimation.

I also think the construction industry will need a better understanding of the decision tree and evaluation techniques under uncertainity.

Hi,



Some more topics



1. Claims and their mitigation in Construction contracts



2. Risk management, its applicability and its limitations in construction projects in your area.

Hithere,



As this is a planning planet,I will give you related area.



Planning and controlling systems using project management software: An investigation into their applications and implication in current context.



Thanks & regards

How about dealing with de unfitness of ISO 9000 standard for construction projects and the development of a better standard.

Dear sir,

Project management for building/construction industry is a

difficult case, beacuase this item has a very specific work items breakdown.

I think weight normalization in building/construction project is a good case for research study.

Murray:



Precisely, the success of my system lies on taking advantage of that unproductive time that plagues the construction industry. We accomplish very tight schedules not by trying to increase crew productivity, but by diminishing the unproductive time between daily tasks. I am talking about efficient coordination at the crew level. We do it by designing very detailed schedules of daily tasks of very specific assignments of every crew at the job site.

Altek System

Detailed scheduling and control

of high performance construction projects

A subject I would love to see researched formally is the percent of schedule delays that occur DURING the activity versus the ones that occur BETWEEN activities (on the relationships). It is my contention that the majority occur during relationships, and that the majority of actual durations are surprisingly close to their original planned durations. The implications of this research would be far-reaching. If you are interested, we could discuss further.

Hi Zuo,



There are a lot of topics in the book that I think can be useful to your research. Possible topics here are:



a) General Considerations in Civil Engineering

b) Methods for diff. types/fields of construction

c) Specification for Cast-in-place concrete



Hope this help.

Hi! i suggest you try "Introduction to Civil Engineering Construction" by Roy Holmes. The book contains different methods of construction and being used by some Q.S.
