A paradigm shift in teaching modular construction in higher education and K-12 is proposed as a means to increase the future adoption of the modular construction technique. To this effect, a new education module is presented to STEM educators. This education module is based on LEGOs and directed towards educators in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. The main objectives of the education module are to increase interest and knowledge of modular construction, acknowledge the benefits of using 3D design with 4D scheduling, and create a simulating hands-on educational opportunity. The education module is designed to allow participants to experience a hands-on simulation of modular construction and stick-built construction through building a LEGO project. Participants are challenged to find the advantages and disadvantages in both construction systems first-hand and record their findings. Results are presented from the preliminary testing of this education model on a group of construction management students at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Overall, the survey results showed that the LEGO education module was successful at achieving the project's three main objectives: 1) increasing the participants' interest and knowledge of modular construction through an interactive project; 2) increasing the participants' understanding of the benefits of 3D design with 4D scheduling over the use of 2D drawings; and 3) creating a simulating hands-on educational opportunity to help participants compare modular construction to stick-built construction. In the end, this proposed a new LEGO education module addressing the problems identified from this study with more participants.

Construction designs are often produced with insufficient considerations on the constructability aspects. Poor constructability has resulted in delay, cost increase, disputes, safety hazards and inconvenience to the public. Increasingly, there has been a call for more systematic input of construction knowledge in the planning and design processes of modern day's infrastructure development. In some countries, notably the US, the practice of constructability reviews is on the rise, with concomitant benefits. It is advocated that construction plans and designs be subject to constructability reviews as early as possible. It should be made part of the project management strategy driven by the client. This paper outlines the constructability review process and benefits, whilst drawing lessons from a number of case studies.

시공단계의 경험 및 지식을 반영한 설계 결과물은 시공 효율성을 향상시키고 설계변경을 최소화하여 프로젝트의 낭비요인 제거와 전체적인 생산성 향상을 가능하게 해준다. 설계자가 설계단계에서 시공단계의 경험 및 지식을 효과적으로 활용하기 위해서는, 설계과정에서 필요한 시공성 지식을 필요한 시점에 활용할 수 있어야 한다. 설계단계에서 시공성 지식의 효과적인 활용을 위한 기존의 접근방법은 체크리스트와 같이 설계단계 별로 활용되는 시공성 지식의 구조화에 초점을 맞추고, 설계의 사결정과정의 기본단위가 되는 액티비티 수준에서 시공성 지식의 활용시점에 대한 고려가 부족하다. 하지만 적절하지 않은 시점에서 고려된 시공성 지식은 설계자에게 불필요한 재작업을 야기해 설계생산성을 저하시키는 문제를 발생시킬 수 있다. 이러한 비효율적인 정보교환을 최소화하기 위해서는, 설계 프로세스 상에서 정보흐름에 중점을 둔 설계관리를 통해 각 시공성 지식들을 요구하는 설계 액티비티가 무엇인지를 파악해야 한다. 이에 본 연구는 Dependency Structure Matrix(DSM)를 이용하여 설계의사결정과정의 기본단위가 되는 설계 익티비티와 설계과정에서 고려해야 하는 시공성 지식간의 상호관계를 고려한 정보흐름기반의 설계프로세스관리를 제안한다. 이는 설계프로세스관리를 설계단계에서의 단순한 설계검토보다 한 단계 높은, 건설프로젝트 전 과정과 연계된 포괄적인 관리활동으로 발전시켜 건설생산합리화에 크게 기여할 수 있으리라 예상된다.

Although the design-build (DB) delivery system has been taking great strides in the world and relevant researches have also been quite abundant, few studies have dealt with its potential impacts on the construction industry as a whole. This research first identified the potential entry barrier factors, which may hinder the market access, based on the theory of industrial economics and characteristics of DB project. Then through a nation-wide questionnaire survey involving 103 construction contractors and engineering consultants, the influences of each factor on company's competitiveness and corporate strategies were scrutinized, and consequently, the evolution of the construction industry was examined. It is found that as opposed to the traditional design-bid-build delivery system, the DB delivery system elevates competitive advantages of large organizations in terms of the financial capability, working experience, human resource, and administrative strength, and among them, the financial strength was concluded to be the most significant force in differentiating corporate strategies and widening the gap of competitiveness between companies. It is inferred if the government extensively adopts DB delivery system, large organizations that already possess the competitive advantage tend to obtain both design and construction abilities, and dominate the DB market. Small and medium sized companies will find little room to maneuver and be forced to become specialty sub-contractors.

The use of inappropriate procurement methods to deliver construction projects has long been acknowledged as a major source of poor project performance and is particularly problematic for the Libyan Construction Industry. Poor procurement method selection has been recognised as a major contributory factor to frequent time and cost overruns. This paper offers a way of selecting specific procurement methods to maximize successful project performance. The methodology involves an intensive review of relevant literature, followed by a semi-structured questionnaire survey. The key findings of the study reveal that 11 out of its 12 common selection criteria exhibit a significant contribution to one or more project performance criteria (time, cost and quality). Project clients should therefore prioritise these criteria when selecting a design-bid-build method. Knowledge of the criteria that contribute positively to project performance will also enable clients to work out, prior to and during construction, the best measures and provisions for successful project outcomes.

Design-Build (DB) has gained in popularity in roadway projects due to its defining advantage to improve communication and fast-track project delivery. However, very little is known about the impact of change order frequency and occurrence timing pertaining to DB projects. The study analyzes their impacts on project time and cost performance by conducting a rigorous numerical analysis drawing on 530 3R (rehabilitation, reconstruction, and resurfacing) projects completed between 2002 and 2011 in Florida by using a multiple linear regression. The results indicate that DB outperformed Design-Bid-Build in project cost as well as time. Critically, the regression analysis signifies that earlier change order occurrence caused more unfavorable impacts on schedule and cost. The proposed analyses and models will lead to the improved ability of agencies to quickly and more reliably estimate the potential change order impacts on schedule and cost.

A nuclear power plant construction project normally involves a large construction work of which the total project cost is over 5 trillion Won, Such a large-scale construction project has the risks of schedule delay and quality degradation due to increase in project cost, because designs are changed due to design errors. The reasons for design changes during installation are 1) insufficient engineering capability of the owner, 2) information discontinuance due to the multiple package method, and 3) inefficient constructability review processes. Accordingly, this study proposes, through problem analysis, a method of developing a constructability review system that utilizes constructability review processes and a data-based technology (3D modeling) that are optimized for nuclear power plant construction projects. It also presents a method of establishing a system for reviewing constructability in which constructability review processes and a Database (3D model, Schedule, Design change Items) are linked each other.
