“…The use of alternative methods or new methods, especially the use of equipment with simple technology or appropriate use, with small-scale capacity in concrete casting work in simple areas and islands that are very suitable and very helpful, this is related to using simple equipment, appropriate technology, small scale, can move fast, low investment costs, use local parts and can be made and managed by local people who use simple tools will be more effective and efficient (Mujumdar & Maheswari, 2018). For the work of small-scale projects in remote areas and small islands, the use of equipment should be adjusted to the needs, if using large-scale equipment is very inefficient, because the cost of mobilization will be high and the productivity of the tool is too large, thus the project will suffer losses.…”

The main objective of this study was to analyze the productivity and efficiency of concrete casting using a mini crane with a capacity of 200 kg as designed by the researcher, compared to using the manual method. The method used in this study is the assembly of mini cranes with a capacity of 200 kg, then field or work tests are carried out and accompanied by observations and subsequent data analysis. The results of the analysis are that using a mini-crane is more profitable compared to the manual method. The authenticity of this research is that mini-cranes are designed and made by researchers with style and models adapted to the conditions of small towns and inland areas in Indonesia, made based on Appropriate Technology not using imported materials and prioritizing scrap metal waste which is the authenticity of this research , thus our research has the principle of producing innovations and works that are useful for human life.

“…It is therefore not surprising that evidence exist that suggest that the design and construction failures originate from this ill-structured design process. It is therefore important that adequate effort must be taken to ensure a robust design strategy is in place from the onset and that all relevant stakeholders buy in the strategy [3]. One strategy implemented to reduce project delivery time is to reduce the design delivery time through the parallelism of sequential activities and it is not surprising therefore that many researchers have explored this aspect [4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

Design-build as a procurement method is increasingly being used in the design and construction of greenfield rail networks, and that is despite the complexities that characterise rail networks-rail infrastructure projects involves significantly more complex systems such as safety, telecommunications, signalling and electrification. One of the key drivers for this choice of procurement method for the delivery of rail networks is that the design-build contractor commits to an aggressive schedule and implements strategies to enable the works to be completed to time and cost. One of such strategies is the application of concurrent engineering principles to the design and construction works. This Chapter gives an overview of concurrent engineering as applicable to design-build rail projects, focusing mainly on the design as an activity. It identifies factors that impact the application of concurrent engineering as well as mitigations that can be applied for the successful application of concurrent engineering principles in design-build rail projects.

“…The design phase of any construction project is cyclic, repetitive, and evolutionary, involving designers from various design groups such as architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and others (Mujumdar & Maheswari, 2018). The design process usually includes the following activities: product conception and feasibility analysis; product definition (preliminary design solution); interface coordination; detailing (final solution and constructive detailing) (Cambiaghi & Amá, 2006).…”

“…The design phase of any construction project involves several designers who exchange information with each other most often in an unstructured manner throughout the design phase (Mujumdar & Maheswari, 2018). The effective workflow in the design phase can be defined as the information flow between the correct people at the correct times (Al Hattab & Hamzeh, 2015).…”

“…The design phase of any construction project involves several designers who exchange information with each other, most often in an unstructured manner, throughout the design phase (Mujumdar & Maheswari, 2018). Like any project, the design management process involves planning, organizing, and managing people, knowledge, and flows of information to achieve specific project goals and objectives (Knotten et al, 2017).…”

Impact of BIM/LEAN on the interaction of construction project design teams

Design teams of construction projects are composed of different stakeholders; this fact could make the interactions difficult. BIM and Lean methodologies have a positive impact on construction projects. Besides, there is evidence of the combined implementation of BIM and Lean; however, it is not known the empirical relationship between Lean practices and BIM uses in the design phase. Also, there is not a deeper understanding of the social phenomena that are generated among design teams when BIM-Lean management methodologies are implemented. Therefore, the objective of this research is to understand the impact of Lean design management (LDM) practices, and BIM uses in the interaction of construction project design teams. The research method has two phases: (1) the creation of tools to assess the level of implementation of LDM practices and BIM uses and to understand the interactions in a design team; and (2) the relationship analyses between BIM, Lean, and interaction, based on empirical information from construction projects in the design phase. The results present a BIM uses assessment tool and an LDM practices questionnaire to measure the design management and a method to understand the different types of interaction in a design team. Based on data from 64 projects, a chi-square analysis revealed 33 empirical relationships between BIM uses and LDM practices; also, the application of BIM uses implies a greater application of LDM practices. The project that applies BIM-Lean management achieves many interactions among its design team; transparent, orderly, and standardized information flows; a collaborative, trust, and learning environment; and commitment management. All these interaction elements are not visible in the project, where BIM-lean management was not applied.
