“…Therefore, project managers must devise means of managing the collaboration to facilitate the work of distributed project team members. Erdogan et al (2008) emphasize the need for CW in construction due to the nature of projects which are multi-organizational and geographically dispersed. Integration and Collaboration overcomes the fragmentation that has come to characterize the construction process (Egan, 2002;Forbes and Ahmed, 2011).…”

The clamour for sustainable buildings in the construction industry is on the rise. Sustainable buildings reduce building energy consumption, support health, comfort, and wellbeing of building inhabitants without compromising the wellbeing of the earth. Studies have also shown that sustainable buildings make money sense. However, issues relating to process of achieving sustainable buildings goals have not been receiving the attention it requires. Process management is an essential tool which most architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals overlook or do not pay much attention to. If the process is wrong or inadequate, sustainable buildings goals may not be achieved effectively, if achieved at all. This may have significant impacts on future acceptance of sustainable building practices. With the use of existing data in the literature and our research in this field, this paper proposes a holistic approach for achieving the intended benefits of sustainable construction.

“…With the development and application of IT in the AEC industry, it provides a collaborative environment (Erdogan, Anumba, Bouchlaghem & Nielsen, 2008). Especially Building Information Modeling (BIM), it provides the platform for the collaboration among the multi-disciplines and multi-stakeholders through exchanging and sharing the data (Singh, Gu & Wang, 2011).…”

Abstract:Purpose: The purpose of this article is to study the description and extension of the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) standard in the construction schedule management, which achieves the information exchange and sharing among the different information systems and stakeholders, and facilitates the collaborative construction in construction projects.Design/methodology/approach: The schedule information processing and coordination are difficult in complex construction projects. However, Building Information Modeling (BIM) provides a platform for exchanging and sharing information among information systems and stakeholders based on the IFC standard.Through analyzing the plan, implementing, check and control, the information flow in the schedule management is reflected based on the IDEF0. According to the IFC4, the information models for the schedule management are established, which not only includes the each aspect of the schedule management, but also includes the cost management, the resource management, the quality management, the risk management and so on. Findings:The information requirement for the construction schedule management can be summarized into three aspects: the schedule plan information, the implementing information and the check and control information, and three aspects can be described through the existing -615-Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management -http://dx.doi.org/10.3926/jiem.1283 and extended entities of the IFC4, and different information models are established respectively. Originality/value:The main contribution of the article is to establish construction schedule management information models, which achieve the information exchange and sharing in the construction project, and facilitate the development of the application software to meet requirements of the construction project.

“…Although WPMSs offer many possibilities, implementations do not benefit from them entirely because of lack of focus on concerns related to change, implementation, human and organizational factors, and management of the end user. Therefore, many systems that are technically sound ultimately fail upon implementation (Erdogan 2008). The success of WPMS also may be hindered by the difficulty of quantifying cost and benefits of the WPMS, system reliability and security, ownership and legal issues, and Internet access .…”
