“…At present, the research on railway EPC projects mainly focuses on project key success factors, risk management [9], cost management [10], quality management, project stakeholders management, interface management, and knowledge management, as well as the combination of the EPC mode and other modes [11]. Nikjow et al [12] adopted the method of a structured questionnaire survey, and explored the key influencing factors that caused the delay of the high-speed rail EPC project schedule according to the evaluation results of the relative importance index (RII).…”

With the promotion of Engineering Procurement Construction mode in railway construction projects, collaborative management between design and construction has faced increasing challenges due to complexities of the participants and the various professional fields involved in railway EPC projects. This paper aims to analyze the issues present in the collaborative management of railway EPC project design and construction. Utilizing the social network analysis methodology combined with the Wuli–Shili–Renli (WSR) system methodology, a network model was established to explore relationships between design and construction management. This study investigates network-influencing factors and proposes targeted measures to enhance project management efficiency. The findings indicate that coordination and communication mechanisms, organization building, interface management systems and design management systems represent core network elements that significantly impact railway EPC collaborative management. These elements are closely related to other network factors. The research not only advances design and construction coordination theory, but it also introduces new ideas for engineering practice.

“…Sustainable urban development perspective. This perspective stresses the engineering approach to design and build construction projects (Shen, 2023) and the compression of the city in terms of physical and social cohesion and the competitiveness of all urban society groups in providing critical housing, a key achievement (Zhang, 2020). Also, it underlines optimal and maximal land use to meet the needs of current and future citizens (Zagorskas, 2007).…”

This research delves into the intricate dynamics of housing location in the bustling metropolis of Tehran. It aims to gain a deeper understanding of the factors influencing housing prices across the city. Employing a descriptive-analytical method, the study utilizes the Python programming language and its libraries, along with various regression models, to analyze a comprehensive dataset of 8000 villas and apartments spread across 22 districts and 317 areas. Data obtained from official sources are used to examine the correlation between housing prices and nine key determinants. The findings reveal strong positive correlations between the total value of the houses and several factors: surface area (80%), neighborhood location (75%), presence of an elevator (44%), presence of a parking lot (43%), and year of construction (26%), these demonstrate the importance of area and neighborhood. Conversely, the distinct number shows an inverse correlation (−41%) which means the higher the distinct number is, the lower the total value will be. In its final stage, the study employs cross-validation to evaluate the performance of various learning models, achieving a maximum accuracy of 85%. The research concludes by presenting a new formulation and modeling approach for determining the total value of housing, showcasing its originality and contributions to the field.

“…Similarly, Zhang [4] and Zhou et al [5] provided improvement suggestions after qualitatively analyzing the obstacles in implementing the WPEC model. Moreover, analyses have been conducted on the problems and challenges faced by PPP (public-private partnership, a project financing model in public infrastructure where the government introduces private capital to participate in the investment and operation of urban infrastructure and other public welfare undertakings through pre-established profit-sharing rules such as franchise rights, reasonable pricing, and financial subsidies; this model, characterized by shared benefits and risks, improves the quality and efficiency of public products or services, facilitates the transformation of government functions, reduces fiscal burdens, and promotes the diversification of investment entities) project management [6], power grid projects, and construction projects [7,8] in carrying out WPEC. Although qualitative analysis at the experiential level offers an understanding of the factors affecting the application of the WPEC model, it falls short of scientifically and effectively uncovering the underlying complex correlations.…”

As a project construction organization model, whole-process engineering consulting (WPEC) is currently being promoted in China’s engineering consulting industry. However, various factors create numerous obstacles that hinder this model’s effective promotion and application. One essential task is to deeply analyze the transmission mechanism of the influencing factors in the promotion and application of WPEC, and explore effective pathways for promoting and applying this model. This paper systematically organizes and summarizes 10 primary influencing factors and 38 secondary influencing factors for promoting WPEC. Using the complex network analysis method, a network of influencing factors for promoting WPEC, a network structure, and motif analyses are conducted. The results show that the influencing factors have a complex transmission mechanism, and complex network analysis can reveal the laws of their construction and their causes. This paper provides a systematic basis and theoretical support for the effective formulation of policies related to the promotion and application of WPEC.
