“…WBSs usually take as their starting points the activities to be conducted, but they may also use the deliverables/products of the project as their points of departure. Jung and Woo (2004) refer to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which defines eight classification classes (facets) of construction information: facilities (e.g., factory, hospital), spaces (e.g., recreations spaces, office spaces), elements (e.g., foundations, exterior walls), work sections (e.g., excavation, cast-in-place concrete), construction products (e.g., steel bars, paint), construction aids (e.g., scaffolding, tools), management (e.g., contracts, cost control) and attributes (e.g., size, weight). Risk breakdown structures can be divided into the management risk area (risks that can be controlled by the organization), the external risk area (risks that originate from factors beyond the control of the organization) and the technology risk area (risks that are inherent in the technology and processes used).…”

The modern concept of project success includes the project contributing to the value creation of its base organization. We need tools to discuss what the project itself and the base organization should do to enhance this value creation. The Mission Breakdown Structure tool helps a company set up a project with a clearly defined mission and secures an effective interplay between the base organization and its project. This article presents the tool in principle and use an illustrative real-life case. The case looks like an IT project at the outset, but when using the Mission Breakdown Structure tool, we recognise that it is much more than that and that different stakeholders need to be involved to secure a successful project. Advice on how to use the Mission Breakdown Structure tool is also provided.

“…This is usually not an effective approach. According to Jung and Woo (2004), cost and scheduling are closely interrelated, because they share a lot of common data in their controlling processes hence, integrating cost and schedule control functions provides an effective tool for monitoring the construction process. In the words of one of the interviewees (a director at a contracting organization):…”

In construction projects, the aim of project control is to ensure projects finish on time, within budget and achieve other project objectives. During the last few decades, numerous project control methods have been developed and adopted by project managers in practice. However, many of the existing methods focus on describing what the processes and tasks of project control are; not on how these tasks should be carried out. There is also a potential gap between principles that underlies these methods and project control practice. As a result, time and cost overruns are still common in construction projects partly due to deficiencies of the existing project control methods and difficulties in implementing them. This paper describes a new project cost and time control model, developed through a study involving extensive interaction with construction practitioners in the UK, which better reflects the real needs of project managers. A set of good practice checklist is also developed to facilitate the implementation of the model.

“…at is, while BIM is being effectively used for analyses that use 3D models, it is not being used for construction information management through the consolidation of construction information and database building. is may be attributed to the insufficiency of database systems for BIM information management and the lack of means to effectively link figure information and nonfigure information [5].…”

Projects in the construction industry are becoming increasingly large and complex, with construction technologies, methods, and the like developing rapidly. Various different types of information are generated by construction projects. Especially, a construction phase requires the input of many resources and generates a diverse set of information. While a variety of IT techniques are being deployed for information management during the construction phase, measures to create databases of such information and to link these various different types of information together are still insufficient. As such, this study aims to suggest a construction information database system based on BIM technology to enable the comprehensive management of site information generated during the construction phase. is study analyzed the information generated from construction sites and proposed a categorization system for structuring the generated information, along with a database model for storing such structured information. rough such efforts, it was confirmed that such a database system can be used for accumulating and using construction information; it is believed that, in the future, the continual accumulation and management of construction information will allow for corporate-level accumulation of knowledge as opposed to the individual accumulation of know-how.
