“…This study identified 24 resilience factors, divided into 5 criteria groups, in an attempt to develop a new conceptual framework to guide developers and practitioners in improving resilience in postdisaster reconstruction projects. In [15], damaged city areas demonstrated the need to strengthen their rebuilding capacity, requiring more experienced and efficient workers to supervise projects. This study attempted to analyze the problems associated with post-disaster housing reconstruction projects in India and provide potential solutions, concluding that institutional procedures, reconstruction techniques, project implementation, and stakeholder management contribute to effective implementation.…”

Reconstruction project management in the cities of Mosul, Anbar, and Tikrit, in Iraq still faces major obstacles that impede the comprehensive performance of these projects. It is thus necessary to improve the arising challenge estimation in the implementation of reconstruction projects and evaluate their components: time, cost, quality, and scope. This study used the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to prioritize major and minor criteria in the influential causes of challenges and formulate a mathematical model to help decision-makers estimate them. Using the Super Decisions software, the final results indicated that changes in scope reached 40.8%, which is the greatest difficulty, followed by changes in cost at 27.6%, changes in time at 13.5%, and changes in quality at 18.11%. The results of the essential subcriteria also indicated that underlying issues still exist in the Iraqi construction industry and that quick solutions are vital. Five mathematical equations were formulated to develop a model to estimate changes that introduce challenges in time, cost, quality, and scope and so to help decision-makers assess the level of these changes and identify challenges. This study recommended addressing these variables through realistic administrative and methodological strategies to consider changes, challenges, and available opportunities.

“…Significant hurdles to the redevelopment of unoccupied property are monetary [20]. Most communities lack the appropriate economic incentives to encourage the maintenance and improvement of unoccupied land and abandoned structures, heritage sites [12; 13], and historical buildings [21].…”

Identifying existing properties for reuse into social housing

Property reuse secures the reuse of developed land as part of new projects, cleans up polluted properties, and reuses and uses the land around development or social housing. Identifying unoccupied land and determining which properties may be used for social housing are significant challenges to regenerating idle land. Most municipalities need appropriate economic incentives to assist in maintaining and restoring unoccupied land, abandoned constructions, cultural assets, and historical buildings. It is challenging to determine deserted terrain using picture classification, since the morphology of such areas can include, among other characteristics, abandoned structures and barren soil. Although it may solve significant issues, social housing offers people a secure, long-term residence. In many countries, social integration remains the main objective of the social housing sector. However, the sector has an increasing proportion of low-income and vulnerable renters and a smaller range of income levels. This may threaten the industry’s economic viability and exacerbate the geographical concentration of poverty and disadvantages. What will the total effect of the reuse of property for social housing be? is the research question. What types of properties may be used for social housing? How do you recognise them? Furthermore, what effects would the repurposing of properties for social housing have? This research uses qualitative content analysis to discuss the location of houses for reuse and conversion to social housing. Additionally, the implications of social housing were examined.

The success of the construction sector is dependent on its diverse workforce and its role in driving growth. India’s economy is significantly tied to construction, especially residential and commercial projects. Effective project management relies on technical, knowledge-based, and soft skills. Realistic management techniques and stakeholder relationships are vital for success. The transition from construction to operations occurs during the handover phase. Developing project management competence is crucial in the midst of failures and delays. This study aims to improve Indian construction through a model developed through an online survey of civil engineering, architecture, and project management professionals. Factor analysis identifies key success factors grouped into project management competency, environmental factors, financial viability, operational efficiency, and structural safety. Recommendations involve the adoption of technology such as BIM, skill enhancement, and sustainability promotion, which can address sectoral challenges and support Indian construction growth. Further research is suggested for industries and global construction contexts. Insights are relevant for Indian construction professionals.
