According to the statistics publication of KOSHA, more than half of serious accidents at the construction sites were related to the temporary works and/or the temporary structures such as scaffoldings, shores, earth retaining walls, etc. The structural failures are occurred because of the overload acting on the structures or lack of performance of the one or more members of the structures. For the prevention of the collapse accidents relating to the temporary structures at the construction sites, we have to control construction processes not to occur the overload and also to control the performance and quality of each member of the temporary structures. MOLIT has amended the "Construction Technology Promotion Act" on Jan. 7th, 2015 to ensure the structural safety of the temporary structures. According to the Act, the designers of the construction design projects should check the structural integrity of the structures including the temporary structures and the construction companies have to let 'the Relative Professionals' confirm the structural integrity of temporary structures, the shores(${\geq}5m$ high) and the scaffolds(${\geq}31m$ high), before construction. Also, MOLIT has amended the "Regulation for Construction Technology Promotion Act" on Jul. 4th, 2016 for quality management and testing of temporary equipments. According th this regulation, the construction companies and supervisors should manage and test the temporary equipments before using them. In this paper, the standard drawings of the shores(< 5 m high) and the scaffolds(< 31 m high) and the amended "Business Guideline for Quality Management of Construction Work" are presented. As the result of this study, MOLIT noticed the amended "Business Guideline for Quality Management of Construction Work" on Jul. 1st, 2017.

Quality control in construction projects necessitates the detection of defects during construction. Currently, this task is performed manually by site supervisors. This manual process is inefficient, labor-intensive, and prone to human error, potentially leading to decreased productivity. To address this issue, research has been conducted to automate defect detection using computer vision-based object detection technologies. However, these studies often suffer from a lack of data for training deep learning models, resulting in inadequate accuracy. This study proposes a method to improve the accuracy of deep learning models through the use of virtual image data. The target building is created as a 3D model and finished with materials similar to actual components. Subsequently, a virtual defect texture is produced by layering three types of images: defect information, area information, and material information images, to fabricate materials with defects. Images are generated by rendering the 3D model and the defect, and annotations are created for segmentation. This approach creates a hybrid dataset by combining virtual data with actual site image data, which is then used to train the deep learning model. This research was conducted on the tile process of finishing construction projects, focusing on cracks and falls as the target defects. The training results of the deep learning model show that the F1-Score increased by 12.08% for falls and cracks when using the hybrid dataset compared to the real image dataset alone, validating the hybrid data approach. This study contributes not only to unmanned and automated smart construction management but also to enhancing safety on construction sites. To establish an integrated smart quality management system, it is necessary to detect various defects simultaneously with high accuracy. Utilizing this method for automatic defect detection in other types of construction can potentially expand the possibilities for implementing an integrated smart quality management system.

Warehouses and Self-Storage facilities are essential for e-commerce operations, providing inventory, distribution, and delivery space. As per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of warehousing and storage businesses in the United States increased from 15,152 in 2010 to 20,002 in 2021, showing continuous growth over the decade. Given the recent surge, there is a need to better understand the impact of these delivery methods on the quality metrics of these facilities. This study aims to contrast the measure of quantitative quality performance of design-build (DB) versus traditional design-bid-build (DBB) project delivery methods (PDM) for warehouses and self-storage facilities. This research conducted a literature review to document quality metrics to compare DBB and DB on project performance. ANOVA was conducted to compare the significant difference between the means to compare the performance between delivery methods and project outcomes across these critical areas. With these insights, owners can make informed strategic decisions about selecting the optimal PDM for future storage facility projects based on their unique quality and scope management objectives.

Currently, the quality management, safety management and environment management of domestic construction work does not form a infrastructure for integrated control which have been developed according to the unique characteristics based on respective the law. In other words, the quality manager and safety manager of human resources is set to a legal arrangement personnel, but environment manager of human resources is not. In addition, quality management standard is to perform the work to PDCA(Plan-Do-Check-Action) system which is reflected in all of the requirements of KS A ISO 9001 standard, but safety management plan and hazard harmfulness prevention plan are not properly reflected P(Plan), C(Check) and A(Action) system and focusing on only 4 section Do(D) in KOSHA 18001 standard requirement. Moreover environmental management plan is not even established requirement. Through examining the operation practices of an advanced nation prior to building the integrated control standard for construction work qualify safety.environment, the possibility of applying domestic is reviewed, and then this study is going to research the operation practices of Singapore.

Since it is common that design BIM data created by designers and engineers do not afford to consider constructability for the site, it is usually necessary to optimize the design BIM data to construction BIM data. While this optimization process requires various design updates depending on the construction methods and requirements, most designers in the projects do not participate the construction phase, which can arise another obstacle factor in utilizing construction BIM. In order to prevent this issue, we need cooperation system, where all the parties work together from the initial stage of project to create quality assured BIM model. However this kind of system is not realistic in Korea with most of the working processes being conventional yet. Therefore, at this point of time, it is realistic for us to secure basic construction qualities in the design phase and keep those qualities by the construction phase. This study suggested a relevant quality management plan for BIM usage in construction phase.

The performance measurement of construction firms is considered as a competitive advantage to develop and improve their performance to have place in the market and stay able to face the continuous challenge. Egyptian construction firms (ECF) started recently to adopt quality management system (QMS) as a way to develop and improve their performance as previous studies showed. However, measuring that performance to include all the firm's aspects in a competitive way is a crucial process for the ECF's culture. The research is trying to indicate the role of the QMS implementation in measuring performance (MP) through developing a model for measuring performance on the organization level, and explore its impact on the organization that adopt quality management system. This model is based on specific elements and their related indicators which have been derived from national approaches and models of measuring performance (benchmarking, quality awards and six sigma).Elements determination and the status of their real practice has been investigated through a questionnaire to a representative sample of ECF. This model determines the performance level (PL) of the organization that measured by a mean of a point system. Weights of the elements in the point system considered both the elements' importance in the international models and its real practice in the Egyptian construction firms. So, the final outcome of the model reveals the level of firm performance that helps the firm to identify the weak points against the strong ones, Confirm the priorities and identify new opportunities for developing, and Check the position of the company in the market among the others. Another questionnaire has been developed to be distributed on a group of Experts on measuring performance for the purpose of model validation. The majority of surveyed experts agreed that the proposed model can be applied effectively.
