The construction management has been applied for the first time in South Korea on the New Catholic Medical Center. The construction of the project has been controlled and managed by the CMr, as Client's agent from the very beginning stage of construction when the block plan is being established by the Contractor's design consultant. As CMr generally gets involved in the project throughout the entire construction phases on behalf of the Client, Parsons Brinckerhoff has been delivering high quality solutions that satisfy the Client's requirements in Pre-construction stage and also brought practical and innovative engineering solutions in a time and cost effective method. The objective of this case study is to describe works executed by CMr in Pre-construction stage ; and, analyze the positive effects by applying CM to the project. Therefore, it is anticipated that CM procedure might be introduced and adapted to the up-coming hospital construction projects.

Clients demands have been changed by construction circumstances such as high-technology, mega-projects, and the complexity of construction. Advanced foreign countries have already introduced and applied new project delivery systems(i.e, CM, DB, etc.) to deal with the change of such that. Recently, Korea also launched two new project delivery systems, "Best Value Contracts to which the State is a Party" to provoke the project delivery system, which helps a public owner select a project delivery system appropriate to the project characteristics. Even though government has made his efforts as stated above, some clients have still used those to public construction projects uniformly. That is because there are not a selection criteria of project delivery system for clients. Therefore, this paper proposes the selection criteria of project delivery system based on project types in the public large construction projects.

Current construction project processes pose difficulties for construction management as inefficient communication between project participants seldom accurately reflects the needs of the owner. To solve this problem, lean construction-based Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), which facilitates cooperation and builds trust through the formation of horizontal relationships among participants, is becoming increasingly popular. However, although lean construction-based IPD improves productivity in the construction industry, few studies have focused specifically on developing effective methods that maximize the benefits gained from lean construction-based IPD. This study therefore analyzed success factors for lean construction-based IPD projects by analyzing prior studies to identify factors that support IPD success. Application methods were analyzed and an example of how they are actually used in the field was examined through an in-depth single case analysis. The findings of this research can be applied to support lean construction-based IPD projects in Korea, improving their efficiency and boosting owner satisfaction.

Risk management is an important element for successful management of overseas construction projects. This study reports a case study in which we proposed a risk management planning and procedure for plant construction which can be applied throughout the project life cycle. We analyzed the risk management practices of Korean construction companies by applying the concept of the PRINCE2 method developed in the UK, and proposed a risk management planning and procedure with organizational structure and working process. The suggested risk management planning and procedure was applied to an overseas plant construction project, and produced good results. It is believed that the procedure suggested here can also be aplied to other companies to enhance the competency in the global construction market.

Construction automation based on information and communication technology(ICT) has been studied for improving productivity in the construction industry. This study investigates domestic research trends in ICT-based construction automation using text mining techniques. The results show that 'Technology to collect and analyze project progress(26%)' and 'Technology to analyze and apply the automation element of construction machinery(28%)' are the major research area. The word of 'construction information' is showed as important keywords in the area of 'Technology to collect and analyze project progress', and researches focusing on resource management, site management, information management, and real-time information monitoring have been mainly conducted. The word of 'ubiquitous' is shown as important keywords in the area of 'Technology to analyze and apply the automation element of construction machinery', and researches focusing on ubiquitous information management, ubiquitous site management, and measurement system have been mainly conducted.

The rate of application of the modular plant in the plant industry is increasing, and for the success of the modularization projects, it is essential to develop and implement a systemized methodology across all phases of the project. However, Korean EPC firms lack project management capability when it comes to apply standardized methodology. Therefore, it is important to establish and systematize the cost/schedule integrated management method which are the two core elements of project management technology. This study was conducted to develop a methodology and guidelines for integrated management process for modular plant projects. The researchers developed a methodology for planning and managing cost and schedule, and integrated by module unit. Integrated cost and schedule methodology and guidelines developed can be used for various EPC modular plant projects to enhance the efficiency of project management.

Owing to diversification of social desire and increase of demand as economic growth, construction industry recently is trending toward diversification, complication, gigantism. It means that is changing to difficult environment as existing construction company operation. Specially, some big construction companies are promoting get down to construction business risk management skill & development. Enterprise risk management system, recognized to risk portfolio, is suggested. instead of individually risk management. This study indicates ERM basic model, considering construction risk character, for apply to ERM to field of construction . And it is including analysis of recognition level and reality about ERM in construction company.

These days, Construction industries are getting bigger, more specialized and complicated. Accordingly, the items of management is increased, also owner's organization is reduced. For this reason, various a method of construction management is introduced in the domestic construction industry. But introduction of construction management have caused increase cost because role duplication of managers. This role duplication is caused by confusion of trial and error, irrationality of system. And every construction project have peculiar properties, also owner's organization of project have various properties. This various properties is not reflected in the construction management , and the regimental method of construction management applied. In order to solving these problems, this study suggested the commissioning model for CM service reflected the properties of project and owner. This study have to selection of the critical service, service item of construction management and definition of owner's role through analysis of the properties of project, owner's capacity and requirement.

Recent diversification of project delivery systems coupled with increasing mega-projects requires highly advanced construction management techniques. Among those techniques, procurement and design management are recognized as being the first priority for overseas construction projects. Nevertheless, previous research in design management has been limited to the quality management of the design documents at design stage. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the design management from a comprehensive perspective throughout the project life cycle. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to propose a conceptual framework for integrated design management (IDM). Several different concepts in relation to design management were investigated first in order to identify the major variables of the IDM framework. A comprehensive comparison of construction management methodologies was also analyzed in order to identify key factors of IDM. Finally, an IDM framework was proposed by combining those factors and relevant issues. Based on the proposed framework, a survey was conducted in order to validate the framework as well as to identity important areas for improving competitive capability of Korean construction companies.
