“…In order to examine any scientific field, an appropriate science mapping tool is to be adopted. Although there are many tools such as VOSviewer, Gephi, CiteSpace, Sci2 and HistCite, the tools which are VOSviewer, Gephi and CiteSpace are the most prominent [31]. Gephi is a free open-source visualization and exploration software for graphs and networks [32].…”

Numerous studies have been conducted by researchers on the delay analysis topic, which is one of the primary areas of scientific study due to the effects of delays on time and cost in construction projects. Following fruitful contributions made by the researchers, it is believed to be extremely important to summarize the existing studies in terms of being a road map for future studies and practitioners. In this context, not only does this study aim to detect the most significant authors, sources, organizations and countries contributing to the improvement of delay domain in the construction industry concerning delay analyses worldwide but also to provide the researchers with extensive insights concerning the prominent research themes, trends and gaps in the literature. Hence, 168 documents related to delay analyses from 1982 to 11 February 2021 were detected through the Scopus Database and the Web of Science Database, and scientometric analyses were conducted via VOSviewer software. By evaluating the related research, two main research areas were detected in this field, namely; improving the delay analysis methods and resolving the disputes before they occur. This study is believed to make theoretical and practical contributions in that it examines the delay analysis topic in all aspects such as prominent institutions, countries, authors and sources, synthesizes the data and highlights possible research domains, gaps and trends concerning the delay analysis topic in construction industry.

“…First, a comprehensive database search was conducted in the title/abstract/ keyword field of Scopus. Scopus was selected due to its wider coverage of publications in the construction domain as compared to other databases such as Web of Science [25][26][27], which does not fully cover the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) journals such as Journal of Management in Engineering (JME). Search keywords included "social network," "project network," "network structure," "network theory," "organization network," "network analysis," "SNA," and "stakeholder network."…”

Social network analysis (SNA) has gained increasing academic attention in the construction domain over the past two decades due to its capability to characterize the complexity and dynamics of interindividual and interorganizational interactions. To date, however, scant attempt has been made to develop an integrated framework to systematically review the diversified network research at different levels in this domain and to quantitatively characterize the evolution of related research interests and research instruments. This study aims to fill this gap by conducting a bibliometric-qualitative review based on 106 papers published from 1997 to 2020. Keyword cooccurrence analysis is employed to reveal the research foci, identify the research trends, and develop a comprehensive categorization framework, which classifies related research based on two interrelated dimensions: the type of network node (individual and organization) and the levelof network analysis (project level, corporate level, and industry level). The framework then facilitates further content analysis in terms of research topics, research designs, and research instruments. The results provide evidence that the research foci in this domain are generally moving towards addressing the complexity and dynamics of project-related relations at more diversified levels, in terms of not only research topics but also research instruments. Future research can be enriched by investigating the multiple types of dynamic interproject relationships, adopting state-of-the-art methodologies for network data collection and triangulation, and employing multiple SNA constructs and inferential statistical methods to reveal how complex networks coevolve and interact with actors’ behaviors as well as project and organizational outcomes.

“…Isso se evidencia pelo crescente número de artigos publicados que discutem a aplicação das tecnologias de informação no ambiente construído. Os trabalhos dessa temática começaram a aparecer por volta da década de 1970, porém é a partir da virada do milênio quando ocorre um crescimento exponencial dessas publicações, o que demonstra a relevância crescente da área (DARKO, 2020).…”

“…Dentro deste contexto, um dos temas que se destaca é a Modelagem da Informação da Construção (BIM) (DARKO, 2020). Esse paradigma é considerado estratégico, pois habilita a construção civil para a Era da Informação, permitindo o engate de diversas tecnologias e modelos de negócio associadas à indústria 4.0 (OESTERREICH; TEUTEBERG, 2016).…”

Os benefícios da Modelagem da Informação da Construção e dos algoritmos no projeto de arquitetura já são conhecidos e amplamente divulgados na literatura. Entretanto, a consolidação de um fluxo de trabalho no dia a dia dos escritórios integrando esses dois campos do conhecimento ainda não está plenamente estabelecido, mesmo em países com maior grau de industrialização. Este artigo tem como objetivo descrever um procedimento que integra essas duas tecnologias no projeto arquitetônico, em uma aplicação voltada para a pré-fabricação. A indústria de banheiros pré-fabricados, especificamente, foi utilizada como estudo de caso de aplicação. Para tanto, adotou-se uma metodologia exploratória e incremental de desenvolvimento de software em uma abordagem baseada em regras para a geração automatizada de layouts de banheiros pré-fabricados. Os resultados demonstram que a definição de regras por meio de algoritmos permite evitar trabalhos repetitivos e desnecessários, bem como mitigar erros de montagem. Deste modo, novos horizontes se abrem para a atuação dos arquitetos mais próxima da manufatura, orientando-se para a otimização de processos e para a redução de custos desde as etapas iniciais de projeto.
