Recently, as smart construction has become more active, construction companys are evaluating their smart construction capabilities in order to transform into smart construction companies. However, the revitalization of smart construction doesn't only apply to construction companies, the level of utilization of all participants, including owners, designers, construction project managers, and construction company, must be improved. Therefore, this study aims to present a model that evaluate the building information modeling (BIM) utilization level for measuring the BIM utilization level of construction management companies in executing construction project management. In this study, an AHP questionnaire survey targeting BIM practitioners to calculate the weight of each BIM utilization item and score it to construct evaluation model and evaluate it by applying it to construction management companies are conducted. As a result of the evaluation using model, there were differences between companies in the number of BIM users, and in the qualitative evaluation, it is mainly used for interference review, constructability review, and design change management. Therefore, in order to revitalize BIM, it is believed that it is necessary to strengthen BIM utilization ability through separate training for construction manager (CMr) and to present clear utilization standards and scope of work for BIM utilization in performing construction management tasks. Consequently, evaluating more construction management companies using the model presented in this study will result in the transition of CM companies to smart construction and revitalization of BIM adoption.

This paper aims at analyzing the current status, characteristics and problems of housing development project finance firstly, and secondly, examining the policy measures in order to enhancing the housing development project finance systems. The main results of this paper are as follows. Project finances are very activated in the housing development projects, especially, apartment development, since 2001. But most of housing development project finance are not virtual project finance, but conditional corporate finance, because most of project finance didn't uses bankruptcy remote. Therefore, the main policy measures in order to activate effective growth of project finance are, first, institutionalizing of project finance, second, enhancing the feasibility study capabilities of finance companies, third, using the real estate funds effectively, and forth, networking housing development project finances with long-term mortgage finances.

The construction industry has remained stagnant for a long time. So many researchers have wanted to solve this problem not only focusing on enhancement of construction process, but also introducing the culture of cooperation. The Last Planner System(LPS), one of the elementary techniques of Lean Construction, aims for improving the work reliability and reducing variability by measuring and managing the daily or weekly performance for overcoming the weakness of recent complex schedule management tools such as Critical Path Method. This research propose a framework for implementation of LPS conducted by owner focused on construction stage and introduce optimal owner participation model in plant construction, based on needs analysis for construction participants. Furthermore, this research introduce a modified needs analysis, so called IPBA(Importance-Performance-Betterment Analysis), and an advanced LPS procedure which add the needs analysis during pre-LPS and(or) main LPS stages.

An expansion into the global market increasingly becomes a buzz world among Construction Management(CM) firms in Korea. The objective of this study is to identify potential obstacles and investigate their nature and implications to CM firms in Korea. The study identified 25 obstacles under 5 categories. Base on a questionnaire survey and interviews with CM experts who have global CM projects experience, the study discusses that while there exist various types of obstacles, a more attention needs to be paid for a small number of major obstacles to minimine risks in overseas CM projects. It also suggests that improving pre-construction management competency through securing CM experts should be listed as a top agenda for Korean CM firms.

As the spacetime restriction free business becomes possible in compliance with the wide spread of social media through rapid propagation of smart phones and remote working etc., the positive activity for successful smart work implementation by major countries and many enterprises are being deployed. Korea which falled behind other advanced countries for adoption of smartwork needs to make double efforts in the forthcoming smartwork business area to be a continuous leading country as it used to be in the past IT area. Compare with traditional smartwork 1.0, future smartwork 2.0 is more creative, innovative and human/nature friendly. Smartwork 2.0 is the way of working to maximize the creativity by involving outside cooperators' capability and conforming to human sensitivity and emotion. This study suggests the management models proper to the future smartwork environment. This study will review the existing enterprises, government operation and rethink about the efficient management models in the rapidly changing smart work environment.

Recently, the trend of construction has been concentrated on the development of structural systems improved economically. As a result, the usage of High Performance Steel which simplifies the girder structures and shortens the construction time is increasing. Also the interest in Longitudinally Profiled(LP) plate as a structural element for girders has been increased. The LP can distribute efficiently the sectional force applied to the structure, and also reduce the self-weight and the number of welding points. The LP plate was developed in Europe originally and its application has been increased rapidly on steel structures in Korea. Though it is used widely and internationally, the study for the LP plate application is rarely performed. In this paper, sectional stress and deflections were analyzed in the different section types by solid element in the finite element method; finally the workability, as well as economical efficiency of the LP plate produced in Korea was evaluated.

Our government has concentrated its policy capabilities on Software industry in order to realize software-centric society. Through such efforts, software industry has developed continuously. As well, it has been a high-valued industry by the association with other various industries, so its importance has been great and its market has grown explosively. However, owing to the hasty support policies focused on software industry, various problems and adverse effects, such as the decline of construction quality due to the confusion of business operator selection and the business area conflict, has occurred. Therefore, in this thesis, I will find the problem and its cause about software support policies and relevant laws according to rapid market change, and will suggest the improvement plan about them. So, I intend to minimize the problems associated with the confusion of business operator selection, through the business area clarification(software industry and information communication construction industry) about complex ICT industry.

The mandatory use of BIM(Building Information Model) in larger Korean public construction projects necessitates participants to have a comprehensive understanding of the relevant procedures and technologies, especially during the bidding stage. However, most small and medium-sized construction and engineering companies possess limited BIM proficiency and understanding. This hampers their ability to recognize bidding requirements and make informed decisions. To address this challenge, our study introduces a method to gauge the complexity of BIM requirements in bidding documents. This is achieved by integrating a morphological analyzer, which encompasses BIM bidding terminology, with a deep learning model. We investigated the effects of the parameters in our proposed deep learning model and examined its predictive validity. The results revealed an F1-score of 0.83 for the test data, indicating that the model's predictions align closely with the actual BIM performance challenges.

Purpose: Looking for the root cause of a construction accident leads to the problem of unreasonable construction costs and air setting by the person placing an order. In addition, low-cost bidding by a contractor with insufficient capacity is combined, creating an inappropriate construction structure that can cause an accident before the start of construction. Method: Analysis of the problem that the lack of original contractor resources in the construction environment is passed on to suppliers, and the phenomenon that partners and their workers are forced to push ahead with excessive work to secure a minimum margin. Result: Going back to the root of construction accidents, there are several dimensions of causes from physical phenomena to root causes, but the reason why accident prevention measures so far remain almost at the one-dimensional level of responding to the phenomenon is the lack of fundamental cause analysis. Conclusion: It is necessary to shift the paradigm to safety accident measures led by the client (the client) and the government, and construction accidents are reduced only when root cause of construction accidents is found through fundamental cause analysis techniques such as 5Why.

There is various points that should be improved in Fairness such as our contract practice to propose construction projects, project managing and the stakeholders' way of thinking and culture. We consider that the revision of construction related provisions and systems is required but even more, an overall change in business management through the implementation of Integrated Construction Information Management System that will enable the owner, which drives the project, and contractor sharing construction information is required. To mange construction related information in an integrated manner, designing information should be smoothly transferred to purchasing information, and changes are required in order to move ahead to process-oriented work system. Finally information created from various construction organizations should be delivered in an aligned and standardized manner as well. The domestic Nuclear Power Plant Construction has been accepting various technology transfers from U.S, France, Canada and UK, which enabled us to self-support technology and recently even proceeded to the phase exporting our technology to others. However, continuous effort is required to improve internal business efficiency and to respond to external environmental change such aselectricity market deregulation. Recently, in accordance with the result in number of CEO's intention to make progress in IT and improve business efficiency, the number of enterprises introducing Enterprise Resource Planning is increasing. ERP is an innovative tool which changes the way of performing work from organization and department orientation to process-orientation in order to optimize the resources, such as human and material resources, through out the Enterprise by performing BPR which will maximize overall business efficiency of the enterprise, such includes not only construction management, but also business management. KHNP continued to performing large scaled construction projects such as nuclear power plant construction for past 30 years and took the initiatives of large scale project management and Quality management ability in domestic industry by having independent capability of over all construction planning, purchasing and, construction and start up management etc. To maintain our leading position of improving construction management technology based on our accumulated project management experience and technology, KHNP included construction into our ERP project in purpose of innovating construction business. We would like to discuss the characteristics of nuclear construction business, project management system, information system infrastructure and information sharing system among construction related entities, and implementation practices for information system, and consider how to resolve our practice that should be improved in this thesis.
