“…Phase II, the Concept Scope, or "select alternative" as per the IDEF0 model, is the focus of this paper. This phase in particular is important for the pre-project planning process, whereby 80% of the project outcome can be specified through basic design documents, guiding project success at later life cycle phases (detailed design, construction, and startup) (Gibson et al 2006 andThyssen et al 2010). Similarly, this phase is expected to be the most influential for eco-city projects since it encompasses critical activities related to the incorporation of sustainability requirements into the Concept MP.…”

Several international tools and standards (e.g. LEED, BREEAM) exist for evaluating the level of sustainability of buildings and neighborhoods. Nonetheless, they are still not available in the context of new city-scale developments. While such sustainability appraisal tools are important, of special interest to practitioners is how to ensure that their requirements are well integrated in a proposed city Master Plan (MP). New eco-city development is the focus of this study. A concise pre-project planning process, consisting of stages and activities, is proposed as a guide to assist the design manager of a new eco-city construction project. The proposed process covers the Concept Phase and assists in evaluating the Concept MP alternatives in light of pre-defined sustainability requirements.

“…To reduce the increase in cost and time a connection between efforts spent on planning and the economic performance of the project is found (Gibson Jr. et al 2006). The economic benefit by proactive planning is found to have an average profit margin of 23%, where projects with reactive planning have an average project margin of -3% (Hanna et al 2010;Hwang et al 2012).…”

Planning and scheduling, both in the form of pre-assembly construction as well as increase in cost and time are all themes that haven't been studies in a trend-analysis, with the purpose of finding gaps and research directions in the literature. The aim of this paper is to analyze these trends in the literature to find which journal have published most relevant articles, how the trends of publications have been the last decade, and finally which year includes most new results. The trend-analysis is conducted in four stages which includes input, process, analysis, and output stage where 561 papers were found, and by the following stages 61 A-papers were found relevant to the trend-analysis. The main finding of the trend-analyze indicates that 2006 was the year where most publications were published. Finally it was found that 42.6% of the A-papers were published in the Journal of Construction Engineering and Management.

“…Hanna and Skiffington (2010) argued that expanded construction arrangement enables the temporary worker to be more proactive than receptive with respect to basic elements that influence a venture. As per Gibson et al (2006), strategic planning of project could lead to enhanced project result, more prominent client fulfilment, and decreased venture cost and term. Therefore, distinguishing and testing for noteworthy contrasts in the effects of the basic achievement figures with respect to time, cost, and quality are crucial in managing these elements in preextend arrangement as an approach to secure the best project result.…”

Abstract. Practically speaking, not all real estate construction projects are accomplished in the defined span and within budget. Various factors responsible for occurrence of delays are one of the long-standing issues in the field of real estate. Delays make contractors endure productivity loss, cause high disturbance expenses, and prolongation costs. The aim of the research is to summarize several delay causing factors, which are observed in the execution of previous real estate construction projects. It then proposes implementation of standard prevention procedures to minimize delays. Time effect examination is the approach to evaluating and allotting the upshots of delays or changing a venture schedule. This review sets execution framework of the two sub-principles of the Toyota Way attributes known as philosophy sub-principles and process subprinciples to guide real estate construction businesses in their lean change to delay free real estate construction work. These are implemented after investigating the critical factors responsible for delays in the delayed projects by comparing their as-planned schedules with the adjusted schedules. Methods used in the research include structured surveys and content analysis, which is performed after collection of quantitative data from the respondents. The lean construction principles will be designed and provided to clients to be productive in performing work packages on their scheduled time with minimum possibility of time overrun.
