“…As declared by Bank et al [55], BIM has been adopted in the low-carbon building selection towards improving efficiency based on optimal decision-making. Similarly, Chen et al [56] have explored the BIM-integrated fuzzy (MCDM) model for selecting low-carbon building measures. Therefore, the analysis deduced from the utilized model has presented that both technologies have provided the same final ranking for low-carbon building measures.…”

Objective: To express the usage of intelligent concepts in the architectural building construction field that are primarily concerned with reducing building energy use. Improved energy-saving methods and the use of environmentally friendly design principles are essential in this field. This type of managerial decision-making is necessary for the success of these types of projects. Methods: monitoring the performance of intelligent buildings use the cost variance (CV) and schedule variation as standard metrics to track the progress of a project based on the save energy concept. Also, this research conducted a comparative study on Building Information Modelling (BIM) and (MCDM) decision-making limitations as presented in the article. Analysis: the conventional technique, on the other hand, is unable to offer data on variance from typical performance levels. The main point based on Delphi results of construction cost variables has been observed 19 effective factors. Finding and Novelty: The RII observed that the most effective aspects of an intelligent building are the number of floors in the building, the kind of structural design, and the size of the shadow cast on the surface of the building. The Multi-Criteria Decision Maker (MCDM) observed significant differences in planned value (PV) and actual value (AC) results. In addition, as a result of the current approach, it is possible to track project costs and timelines more precisely. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-01-010 Full Text: PDF

The primary tasks of construction firms are construction, engineering, administration, legal, human resources, business development, and public relations tasks. Engineering tasks may include design review, preparation of shop drawings, planning and follow-up, cost control, value engineering, and as-built drawings. However, engineering tasks are essential for construction projects; they are challenging because they are time-consuming and require high knowledge and skills. Because of these challenges, some construction firms outsource engineering tasks to specialized engineering firms. Since limited literature currently exists for engineering tasks outsourcing, this study aims to identify engineering tasks outsourcing among construction firms in Egypt in terms of which tasks, reasons for the outsourcing, and related risks. The research conducted a questionnaire survey among construction firms to achieve the study objectives. The results conclude that 77% of the responding firms have outsourced one or more engineering tasks, which shows that outsourcing has become an important strategy for conducting engineering tasks. Data on firm demographics, types of engineering tasks outsourced, reasons for outsourcing, and other aspects related to outsourcing engineering tasks were also collected. The results show that construction firms perceive engineering outsourcing as more efficient than in-house engineering task implementation, especially in terms of high quality and timely implementation. However, outsourcing has a negative impact in terms of cost. In addition, the results show that shop drawings are the most outsourced engineering task with about 75%, while cost management is the least outsourced engineering task with only 8%.
