Nowadays, there has been extreme competition due to market reduction in the domestic construction industry. In this situation, Korean construction companies are focused in the area of planning development housing project, which should maximize profit for a project. The most important step in this project is the business planning stage which judge whether it could come true or not. Each company has its own planning process model, but there hasn't been any standard model for the business planning process. To solve this problem in Korean construction companies, this study identifies the existing business planning process in the domestic construction companies finds out its problems, and suggests solutions for thorn. And Finally a business planning process model is proposed for success in development housing projects.

For applying simulation to the construction process, much effort is needed to collect input data and to build the model including the characteristics of site. This study introduces the methodology to collect operation data of construction equipment and build the simulation model, then verifies the model with the operation data. In addition, this study identifies main factors to determine the cycle time of the muck hauling system and offers reasonable decision making data using the simulation based planning of construction equipment operation.

This study represents construction progress management model based on quality inspection process in addition to cost-schedule integration. Quality inspection process cycle, resource estimate as progress measurement parameter, hierarchical structure of schedule, and inspection lots linking quality inspection to resource estimate are addressed as four main information areas. The authors established several process models to give a structure and correlations among information elements on each of these areas. Applying the process models proposed, an information system was implemented and utilized for nuclear power plant construction. It reveals that the system achieves accurate and objective progress information in near real time with significantly reduced time and effort as well as administrative efficiencies from making quality inspection process online.

Recently, construction site scale has been growing larger along with the growth of national economy. As construction market requires time reduction, cost saving, and improving quality, a cutting-edge technology applied research has been gradually studied for more efficient project management. In particular, the Real Time Location System (RTLS) technology, a real-time location tracking system of construction resources, can be effectively used in safety management. This technology has been studied and applied in various industries including architectural, marine, urban, and other industries. However, although tunnel construction in civil engineering has a narrow space and many safety risks, there are not researched about this content. Therefore, this study proposes an advanced safety management model for tunnel construction using the RTLS technology and a measurement method of the feasibility of this model in the construction site.

The purpose of this study is to propose a model development framework to predict the risk of safety accidents for foreign workers based on a deep learning algorithm for systematic safety management of foreign workers in the construction industry. Many past studies have shown that foreign workers working at construction sites are relatively more vulnerable to safety accidents than non-foreign workers, but quantitative research on the risk of safety accidents among foreign workers working at construction sites is lacking. Furthermore, due to a lack of predictive research on safety accidents, realistic and systematic safety management for foreign workers is not possible. Therefore, in order to complement this, this study proposes a deep learning algorithm-based model that collects, analyzes, and predicts safety accident data occurring at construction sites for systematic safety management of foreign workers at construction sites. The results and framework of this study can be used to analyze and predict various safety accident risks that occur at construction sites, and ultimately can serve as an important guideline for safety management of foreign workers at construction sites.

Many construction companies have developed many kinds of information system to integrate the information created in the phase of planning, design, procurement, construction, and maintenance of construction project. However, the previous researches for the state of applying information technologies and the efforts of the analysis of the present information system launched in domestic construction industry is very rare. There also has been short of research on the construction decision-making support theory in construction business and industry. Hence this paper would contribute in identifying the state of information technologies and the theory of decision-making support of the information system in general construction company. and suggest the characteristic model on the information system for the construction decision-making support. The model consists of the two dimensions; (1) organizational hierarchy (2) data analyzing technology. This research, especially, can be expected to initiate the discussion on framework for understanding the construction decision-making support system in construction industry. The model is nut a practical methodology, but a window that offers a new perspective un sources of information system in each construction company, and thus can provide a clue of the useful guide to construction information system development.

Many companies have managed their business performance in order to achieve their enterprise purpose. Performance management which applied concept of BSC (Balanced Scorecard) is widely used all over the world. In the construction industry, BSC-based performance management is currently introduced with needs of balanced performance evaluation. However, most companies actually have intermediate level of adapting BSC. It is important to understand its process or and structure. Therefore, this paper is focused on making performance management process and defining each phase of it. In addition, the model and system are established with putting them together. With developing performance process in construction, the construction companies are supposed to detect the deficiencies of the current performance management systems and take some opportunity to be helped for supporting their decision-making. In conclusion, this paper will provide the construction industry with the opportunities to enhance the values of performance management system and construction application.

Tracking ICT applications on construction business processes is critical to the success of ICT-applied construction projects. Existing IDEF0 is a representative modeling method for visualizing and analyzing business processes. It defines a construction production process into a visual information model, hence, encouraging the project participant to understand the activities, their deliverable, and control flow of the process. However, IDEF0 dose not lend itself to ICT-applied construction processes, because it does not provide a mean to define how, in what order, by which each and every activity that ICT applied implements. This paper presents a new business modeling method that improves the traceability of ICT application (IAMB: ICT Application tracking Model for Business process) for construction management. The IAMB contributes to handle the sophisticated features of construction management processes to which ICT are applied. The method categorizes the process into three types: management, construction, and information exchange. The validity of IAMB was confirmed by analyzing the performance when it is used for tracking each modeling step of lift reservation process which making use of ICT. The test case provides an admissible evidence that the method encourage to define who, what, how, which order, and by which ICT tools the construction process exchanges production information.
