“ASSESMENT ON DEMSKI’S MODEL IN HOUSE CONSTRUCTION PLANNING”
Contractual challenges for BIM-based construction projects: a systematic review
By: Ahmad Huzaimi Abd Jamil, Mohamad Syazli Fathi (2018)
Building information modeling (BIM) has been proven to enable outstanding results in
construction processes by enhancing knowledge sharing with regard to a building or facility
throughout its life cycle from the conceptual design to facility management. The purpose of this
paper is to investigate the extent to which the use of BIM has impacted the legal and contractual
implications of the existing construction contracts for aligning the three sets of relevant
development domains: BIM functionality, contract procurement methods, and BIM legal and
contractual issues to enhance the efficient use of valuable resources. This exploratory study
was undertaken by analyzing the literature using a novel approach involving a matrix that
juxtaposes BIM functionalities for each project life cycle with contract procurement methods. As
part of the study, 28 interactions of BIM legal and contractual issues have been identified, as
representing positive and negative interactions. The interaction matrix framework that
juxtaposes BIM functionalities and procurement methods highlights the theoretical and practical
relationships identified between the methods. It also simultaneously recognizes the constructive
and destructive interactions between these development domains by means of critically
identifying the possible interactions of the legal and contractual aspects of both the BIM project
procurement and the practical aspects of BIM project delivery. The present study contributes to
the existing literature by extensively identifying the probable interactions of contractual issues
within BIM functionality with contract procurement methods throughout the life cycle of a
building construction project.
The present study first examined unique methods of conceptualizing procurement
practice including the whole project life cycle and BIM contractual issues as in related previous
studies. Upon gauging the ways reported, to help assess the interconnections of procurement
practices and BIM contracting issues for the whole project life cycle, a framework or taxonomy
of analyses had to be created. The framework developed in this study can be considered as
rigorous and it may serve to support future research that is either empirical or otherwise, aiming
to investigate such interactions within the development domains. Presently, BIM-based contract
administration within most firms is still on a learning curve. Therefore, the framework and the
analysis involved in the present study can be considered as an exemplar to motivate the design
of a BIM-enabled contractual framework. In terms of methodology, as the present study has
proposed a conceptual framework for analyzing the alignment of the development domains, it is
therefore safe to argue that constructive/design research depends on the dimension being
considered for investigation. It may also equally enable project stakeholders
Complexity Factors During Pre-Construction Stage Affecting Quality Performance
in Infrastructure Projects
By: Akhtarul Norfaiza Che Nen; Che Maznah Mat Isa; Che Khairil Izam Che Ibrahim; Fatin
Najwa Mohd Nusa(2022)
Many construction projects show lack of performance due to numerous complexity factors.
Literature review indicates that study related to complexity factors in infrastructure projects is
still lacking. The purpose of this paper is to identify the most significant complexity factors during
pre-construction stage (design, tender and contract award) that affect quality performance of
infrastructure projects. Based on variables identified from previous studies, a survey
questionnaire was designed to gain responses and assessment in terms of the impacts of the
identified complexity factors toward quality performance. A preliminary study was carried out
based on 37 respondents’ feedbacks to determine the level of importance of these factors using
relative importance index (RII). The results show that all identified complexity factors are
important and have impacted the quality performance in infrastructure projects. This study
contributes empirically towards establishing an integrated complexity assessment model to
manage infrastructure project from design to handing-over stage to ensure successful project
performance in terms of time, cost and quality in line with the Eleventh Malaysia Plan within the
construction industry.
Advanced Metrics for Construction Planning

By: Farook R. Hamzeh; Ghali El Samad; and Samir Emdanat(2019)
Production planning and control are critical in guiding projects toward meeting their
targets. This paper uses the power of the last planner system (LPS) combined with conventional
methods to assess schedule performance. Although previous studies have proposed multiple
metrics within LPS, research correlating these various metrics to overall schedule performance
has been both challenging and time consuming. This study proposes new metrics and details a
calculation method to measure significant aspects of planning performance that are not yet
supported by a measurement metric. Moreover, the paper introduces a framework and a
dashboard to employ these metrics to guide project-level and production planning. Results from
applying the proposed framework to two construction projects in the United States show that
projects tend to run behind the scheduled milestones due to poor performance in (1) making
tasks ready and removing constraints, (2) committing to critical tasks, and (3) matching load to
capacity. Findings underline major issues in construction planning where teams constantly
struggle with aligning near-term planning with long-term planning. The proposed metrics can
provide a proactive detection of issues and constant visibility of project status so that planning
teams can apply earlier control measures to improve reliable planning and reduce milestone
delays.
Understanding the planner’s role in lookahead construction planning
By: Hisham Abou-Ibrahim, Farook Hamzeh, Emile Zankoul, Søren Munch Lindhard &
Lynn Rizk(2019)
Capacity planning is instrumental in production planning as the variability witnessed in
construction projects complicates the planner’s role in achieving a balance between weekly task
load and available resources. The purpose of this article is to assess the effects of capacity
planning on a project’s time and cost performance and to inform planners on the pitfalls of
uninformed capacity planning. A simulation model is developed to test several project scenarios
against different capacity planning methods. Cost, time and planning quality measures are
developed to track project’s performance throughout the construction period. Results show that
the planner’s choice of capacity planning method and the type of project both affect a project’s
cost and duration. Interestingly, informed planners who are aware of a project’s characteristics
are able to achieve the best balance between weekly load and capacity. They are able to
reduce incurred costs wasted on idle resources without significantly affecting the construction
period.
The benefits of informed planning methods can result in a reduced and optimized use of
buffers, enabled by pull planning and timely removal of constraints. Accordingly, informed
capacity planning fills an important gap in the production planning puzzle. However, to reap the
full potentials of informed capacity planning, the design of the production process should be
enhanced to increase process flexibility. Possible suggestions include a better design of weekly
work backlogs (a pool of Plan-B tasks ready for execution in case of extra capacity or stopped
work) and employing a multi-skilled workforce. The wise design of work backlogs and their
dynamic update throughout the project may help production planners assign extra capacity to
workable backlogs and avoid idle resources; while the hiring of multi-skilled workforce increase
the flexibility of assigning labors to different available tasks. These suggestions require further
research and can be the subject of future studies on capacity planning.
Project Complexity and Risk Management (ProCRiM): Towards modelling project

complexity driven risk paths in construction projects
By: Abroon Qazi, John Quigley, Alex Dickson, Konstantinos Kirytopoulos(2016)
Project complexity has been extensively explored in the literature because of its
contribution towards the failure of major projects in terms of cost and time overruns. Focusing
on the interface of Project Complexity and Interdependency Modelling of Project Risks, we
propose a new process that aids capturing interdependency between project complexity,
complexity induced risks and project objectives. The proposed modelling approach is grounded
in the theoretical framework of Expected Utility Theory and Bayesian Belief Networks. We
consider the decision problem of identifying critical risks and selecting optimal risk mitigation
strategies at the commencement stage of a project, taking into account the utility function of the
decision maker with regard to the importance of project objectives and holistic interaction
between project complexity and risk. The proposed process is supported by empirical research
that was conducted in the construction industry and its application is illustrated through a
simulation study.
Overall, the contribution of this paper is three-fold: we have focused at the interface of
broad fields and explored an important research theme that has received limited attention in the
past; we have proposed a new process and an approach for modelling the interdependency
between project complexity attributes, risks and project objectives that was further
demonstrated through an illustrative application; and finally, we conducted empirical research to
gain insight into the real practice of managing these complex interactions within the construction
industry. In future, the proposed process will be validated in the context of different industries
through case studies. Furthermore, empirical research will be conducted to investigate the best
practices in managing complex interdependencies between project complexity and resulting
risks. It will also be important to devise methods for reducing the effort in populating such
models. Methods other than BBNs can be explored to implement the ProCRiM and investigate
the trade-off between effort involved in developing the model and the precision of results
