Key performance indicators of construction companies in branding products and construction projects for success in a competitive environment in Iran

Erfan Anjomshoa

Abstract: PurposeKey performance indicators (KPIs) play a pivotal role in evaluating the level of success of an organization in achieving its business objectives. The objective of the current research is to identify and prioritize effective KPIs in branding products and construction projects, which contribute to the success of construction companies in a competitive environment.Design/methodology/approachThe present research is of an inferential, descriptive and survey nature. In this study, we identified the influentia… Show more

In logistics systems, the use of methods, approaches, and management procedures with the aim of optimizing all activities has increasingly been promoted. In the case studies, the logistics of the concrete construction work during the implementation of concrete frame structures of residential building projects is analyzed. The examination of the logistics of concrete construction work was carried out using a combination of monitoring, measurement, comparison, and modeling methods. In addition to obtaining real data on the mentioned logistics of concrete construction work, by applying the Just in Time method, as one of the methods of lean logistics, the optimal logistics of ready‐mix concrete transport to construction sites was simulated. In order to reveal the most significant wastages during concrete construction work, the essential parameters of real logistics were compared with the parameters of simulated optimal logistics of ready‐mix concrete transport. The goal of the research is to evaluate the intensity of the application of logistics and its elements in the implementation of construction and to point out the importance of the involvement of lean production methods and thus also lean logistics in the construction industry. Based on this study results from construction projects in Slovakia and also based on the experience of the authors of this work, it can be concluded that the use of logistic management in the supply of the main construction material in the production of monolithic concrete structures is poor, and this causes a lot of unnecessary waste, having an adverse effect not only on the construction time, but also on the management of individual construction resources. It has been proven that investment in planning and management of logistics can lead to increased overall efficiency of the construction and can bring profit in the form of system, synchronization of construction process resources.

PurposeNowadays, designing environmentally compatible buildings with acceptable performance in terms of cost, materials, and energy efficiency is considered crucial for developing sustainable cities. This research aims to identify and rank the most influential factors in the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) systems in the smartification of green and sustainable buildings.Design/methodology/approachThe present research is applied and descriptive. In this study, we identified the most influential factors in the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) systems through library studies and expert opinions. Data were collected using a questionnaire, and a combination of the one-sample t-test method with a 95% confidence level and the fuzzy VIKOR method was employed for analysis.FindingsThe results show that the most influential factors in the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) systems in the Smartification of green and sustainable buildings, in order, are: “Energy saving and consumption reduction,” “Increased productivity and efficiency,” “Life-cycle assessment (LCA),” “Eco-friendly design,” “Integration with IoT and other technologies.”Originality/valueIn this study, while addressing the intersection of BIM technology, green building principles, and smart building objectives to optimize the performance of buildings during their life cycle, the most influential factors in the use of this system were ranked based on the criteria of “impact level,” “importance level,” and “availability of necessary tools” for implementation in Kerman. Moreover, solutions for more effectively utilizing this system in the smartification of green and intelligent buildings were proposed.

PurposeExisting research lacks exploration of factors that can drive contractors to expand their market, resulting in a research gap where they cannot identify key determining factors in expanding their market. This study aims to explore the multiple pathways of driving diversified business operations of international construction contractors.Design/methodology/approachThis study identified key factors that affect the diversified business operations of international construction contractors and explored the multiple causal paths of factors through Chinese contractors selected from the Engineering News Record top 250 as samples using Fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis.FindingsThis study reveals that six factors, namely, enterprise scale, operation capability, financial capability, innovation capability, internationalization and corporate social responsibility (CSR), are key drivers of international contractors’ diversified operations. These factors combine to generate four different diversification paths, including three broad diversification paths and one narrow diversification path. The elements involved in these paths have complementary and enhanced roles in broadening the contractor’s diversified business operations, suggesting that contractors may need to integrate resources and make strategic adjustments to enhance their positioning in the international market. Among them, operation capability is the core element of diversified business operations and innovation capability and CSR are also important factors in successfully forming a “broad” diversified operation in the international market.Practical implicationsThe research results provide a profound understanding of which the key determining factors of the diversified business operations of international construction contractors to build new competitive advantages.Originality/valueThis study has enriched the research perspective of contractor competitive advantage theory by introducing the concept of diversified operations, providing a comprehensive theoretical framework for understanding how contractors can expand their market paths.
