“…Active involvement of construction knowledge in the conceptual planning phase is a basic principle of constructability suggested by CII ͑1986͒. Previous survey studies also showed that constructability has gained acceptance throughout the construction industry and it is increasingly applied in early project stages ͑Arditi et Pocock et al 2006͒. Significant gains in project cost, schedule, and safety performance that resulted from constructability programs have been reported by many studies ͑CII 1986; Jergeas and Put 2001͒.…”

“…Failure of design professionals to consider how a contractor will implement the design can result in scheduling problems, delays, and disputes during the construction process, and, hence, harm the overall project performance ͑Arditi et al 2002͒. Therefore, how to effectively incorporate construction knowledge into the design process is an important subject for performance improvement ͑CII 1986;Pocock et al 2006͒. This paper studies contractor involvement in both early design and construction as one of the strategies to instill construction knowledge into design. The research aims at identifying contractor's inputs during early design stages and illustrating the impact on construction schedule performance through an industrial case study and a simulation study.…”

Early Contractor Involvement in Design and Its Impact on Construction Schedule Performance

The importance of integrating construction knowledge into the design process has long been recognized by the construction industry. This paper studies early contractor involvement in design and its impact on construction schedule performance through a combined empirical case study and theoretical simulation analysis. Pipe and steel fabricators' inputs at different design stages of industrial construction projects are identified. The case study shows that these inputs lead to improved drawing quality, material supply, information flow, and consequently improved construction schedule performance. This impact on construction schedule is illustrated using actual project data and simulation techniques. Simulation models were developed to demonstrate intuitively the impact at the construction operation level and they allow people to gain management insights through simulation experiments. Better understanding of the early contractor involvement process and its benefit can improve buy-in and help industry practitioners to reach the full potential of this concept.

“…Proposition 5 was not supported because the correlations between the Constructability best practice and TUI indices were weak and not statistically significant. According to Pocock, et al (2006), three major obstacles in implementing constructability are the lack of open communications between designers and constructors, inadequate construction experience, and difficulty coordinating disciplines.…”

This paper assesses the impact of information technology use and Construction Industry Institute defined Best Practices on construction project performance. Using data from 133 projects collected in 2008 and 2009, correlations between Best Practiceuse and project performance, and information technology use and project performance are investigated. In addition, interactions between Best Practice and information technology use on project performance in terms of cost, schedule, and rework are tested. The findings highlight the potential for synergistic effects of information technology and Best Practice use on construction project performance.

“…U SAD-u je konstituirana institucija pod imenom CII (Construction Industry Insitution) sa zadaćom poboljšanja rentabilnosti, upravljanja kvalitetom i međunarodne konkurentnosti građevne industrije u SAD-u, koja pojam izgradivosti (u SAD-u je prihvaćen termin Constructability) definira kao sistem za postizanje optimalne integracije građevinskog znanja i iskustva u planiranju, nabavi i izvođenju radova u procesu izgradnje, te uravnoteženje projekata s ograničenjima okoliša, a sa svrhom postizanja zadanih projektnih ciljeva [1, 5,6]. Da bi se ostvario potpuni potencijal koncepta izgradivosti potrebno je i prepoznati složenu interakciju čimbenika u projektu, jer treba imati na umu da izgradivost nema samo za svrhu olakšavanje izgradnje građevine, već ujedno i osiguranje tražene kvalitete gotovog proizvoda.…”

Ovim se radom nastoji prihvaćenu definiciju, ciljeve i output koncepta izgradivosti približiti sudionicima u građevinskim projektima, no i utvrditi što pojedine interesne strane smatraju ključnim problemom u eventualnom provođenju koncepta, ali i koji su uzroci problema na relaciji projektiranje-izvođenje-korištenje općenito.Ključne riječi: izgradivost, izgradljivost, relacija projektant-izvođač-korisnik, faze građevinskog projekta CONSTRUCTABILITY-BUILDABILITY-IZGRADIVOSTAbstract: Constructability (Buildability) is a concept which still hasn't reached significant impact on construction practice in Croatia, as quite as it has in countries like USA, Canada, UK and Australia. With this paper authors strive to constructability accepted definition, objectives and outputs bring closer to the participants in the construction projects, determine which particular problems stakeholders in Croatian construction projects believe that are the fundamental in the implementation of the concept, but also the causes of the problems between the design-constructing-usage.
