“…In any construction project, establishing coordination and transitioning from one stage of construction to the next is key to completing the project on schedule and cost effectively [56,57,58,59,60,61]. Presumably, since the procedure in modular construction is different, the need for coordination will be a greater challenge [54,55].…”

Modular construction is a novel technique that has several advantages over traditional construction methods; however, along with the benefits, there are limitations that make it challenging. Various aspects of modular construction need to be studied in-depth to improve the construction process, and the aim of this study was to accomplish that by investigating its advantages and limitations and comparing them with traditional construction. The advantages were identified through a thorough literature review, and were classified into five categories: project schedule, project cost, labor safety, project quality and productivity, and environmental. The limitations were also investigated through the existing literature and classified into five categories: project planning, transportation, public and expert acceptance, establishment cost and cost due to complexity, and coordination. The results revealed that the advantages of modular construction outnumber its limitations; however, further technological development and research would lessen or mitigate the challenges. The results of this study highlight the main benefits and challenges associated with modular construction and will help project stakeholders choose between this method and conventional construction methods for their projects.

“…According to the studies conducted by Alipour et al [12], it is easier to establish effective communication and coordination among those in a rural area because rural communities commonly follow their local leaders, while those in urban communities want to know every detail of the process, making the controlling and management of them complicated [17].…”

Reconstruction of safe and secure housing is commonly considered the most effective means of returning rural and urban communities affected by disasters to pre-disaster living conditions. In addition, the reconstruction process and the degree of its success greatly impacts the community's ability to work through the next disaster. The various challenges that the reconstruction process encounters have been identified, investigated, and analyzed in this study. After reviewing 177 articles in detail, approximately 30% of which pertained to reconstruction of houses after earthquakes, 54 challenges were identified and placed into four categories: general, physical, social, and economic. About 30% of the reviewed articles were studied the challenges of housing reconstruction after earthquake. In addition, the journal of Disaster received the highest frequency (37) among the reviewed papers in which the challenges of housing reconstruction after disaster in urban and rural communities were studied. This study succinctly assists decision-makers and project managers allocate needed resources effectively and improve the performance of post-disaster reconstruction of housing in both rural and urban areas.

“…The most important factors causing time overrun are design changes, poor labor productivity, inadequate planning, and resource shortages. Through a comparative study of causes of time overruns in construction projects in Hong Kong (Kamalirad et al, 2017). In Malaysian, traditional lump sum system, design and build/turnkey system and Construction Project Management/Contract Management are commonly adopted in procurement strategies (Memon et al, 2011).…”

The effect of time overrun in building construction projects was assessed with the view of finding the possible ways of mitigating the effects of time overrun in construction project.A quantitative research method was adopted and data were collected by means of questionnaires. Research findings indicates that the time factor that have impact on construction project delivery include poor budgeting system, lack of proper cash flow, poor resource utilization, improper time schedule plan, unnecessary delays, poor management of time. The view of contractors regarding time in construction is experiencing a positive change from factors that require less concern or factors needed for reference purpose to those factors that determine the success of a project, factors that help in avoiding liquidated damages and the major factors to be considered in the preparation and submission of tender. The research also indicates that various relationships exist between construction project time and cost depending on the perspective in which it is viewed and value considered, relationship ranging from a trade-off to direct professional relationship all explain how related cost and time are in construction projects.
