The construction industry is facing a gradual but important transformation towards more productivity and collaboration. In this framework, two major approaches are often cited in the literature as having the potential to improve the practices in the industry: Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Lean Construction. Several scientific studies have demonstrated the synergy of these two approaches and very recent research has reported positive results from the use of software applications as support for their implementation on construction sites. However, the stakes of such integration have been very little studied. This article presents the results of a research project conducted within a general contractor firm that decided to implement BIM and Last Planner System (LPS) on its construction sites. The research uses a four-stage action research approach, including the characterization of the research issue, the establishment of an action plan, its implementation and its evaluation. Compared to recent related studies, the research is less enthusiastic. While it highlights the need for new tools to improve production planning and control, it also points to a strong resistance to change by practitioners at the site. They emphasize the necessity for adequate pre-service training and the need for new resources that can work full-time on the ongoing training of site teams. In addition, some limitations of the tool lead workers to believe that it can quickly become a factor that slows down their daily work rather than improving it.

Lean construction supply chain is a project management technique adopted from the manufacturing sector aimed at improving the performance of the construction industry. However, it’s implementation is confronted with some barriers in the construction industry such as; poor understanding of lean concept and absence of framework explaining the application. Therefore, this study developed a framework for lean construction supply chain adopting a bibliometric analysis approach. Bibliometric analysis is a statistical analysis of articles for revealing the school of thought, issues and problems in an area of study. The articles adopted for the analysis of this study were extracted from Scopus, Google Scholar and other online databases. The retrieved articles were inputted into VOS viewer software to reveal the network analysis. The analysis showed the significant countries and school of thought supporting the lean construction supply chain. The findings from the analysis showed that the construction industry in most African countries is slow towards the adoption of the lean concept. The network analysis showed that the practice of lean construction supply chain revolves around waste reduction, just in time, integration and pre-fabrication. This practice formed the variables used for developing the framework. The study recommends that further research should be conducted to validate the framework developed from the study. The study contributes to improving the practice of lean thinking within the construction industry.

Sequencing construction activities in highway projects is a complex planning process which requires not only considerable knowledge and practical experience of the planner/scheduler about various relevant aspects, such as the activities themselves, construction and procurement processes, and construction methods, but also input from other key members of the project regarding specific constraints and requirements. Moreover, sequencing is an iterative process; the sequence developed in the planning phase is likely to change in the construction phase. Therefore, learning from as-built schedules of past completed projects is needed to improve the planning and scheduling processes for future projects. In current practices, most state Departments of Transportation (DOTs) still mainly rely on schedulers’ experience for schedule development. A data-driven systematic approach is still lacking, although the highway agencies have been spending a significant amount of money, time, and effort to collect various digital data during the construction process. This study aims to leverage historical digital daily work report data available in the DOTs’ database to detect patterns of construction sequences in highway projects. Daily work report data collected from a state DOT were used to conduct a case study that developed a Sequential Pattern Mining algorithm to extract frequent sequential relationships among the activities for one major type of highway projects.

This article presents the mind mapping technique which, despite many potential benefits, is still infrequently used in project management. The case study provides practical examples for use of the mind mapping technique when implemented in construction projects. The results of this study showed that the mind mapping technique helps project managers solve problems, define the scope of a project, schedule packages, and manage teams more effectively. Further, mind maps are useful for creating project plans, and for analysing existing plans so that they are easily understandable. This study concludes that the mind mapping technique is a creative and useful tool for project managers. The mind mapping technique enables the project manager to gather, manage, share, and communicate information quickly and easily.

Uptake of Building Information Modelling (BIM) for complex refurbishment projects is foreseen as an essential resolution which will possibly increase the BIM adoption rate and eventually play a major role in transforming the construction industry. This anticipation is primarily based on the success of BIM with regards to complex construction operations, management, performance and productivity improvement. Various architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) key players have promoted the adoption of BIM and highlighted its significance in enhancing project delivery. Despite the envisaged benefits and feasibility of BIM adoption for complex refurbishment projects, many small and medium enterprises (SME) are still reluctant towards BIM. Though the incorporation of BIM in the New Zealand context is also similarly expected to move the construction industry forward, little has been reported in the literature to address the impact of refurbishment project attributes towards BIM adoption. A case study of tertiary education multipurpose facility project is adopted. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with informed project stakeholders and BIM experts outside the project based in New Zealand with the aim to identify refurbishment projects attribute and how it contributes to BIM adoption barriers for refurbishment project stakeholders in the construction industry in New Zealand. The benefit of this study is that it leverages the traditional refurbishment practice towards being BIM capable, and thus enable BIM uptake for refurbishment project stakeholders at the pre-maturity stage in New Zealand tertiary institutions.

The high volume of traffic to the Holy City of Moria during the Easter weekend could be graphically described as taxing to both the motorists and pilgrims. The rationale for the study was to understand, investigate, analyse and describe the role of the Polokwane Local Municipality (PLM) in the planning and the execution of the Zion Christian Church (ZCC) Easter weekend pilgrimage with a view to reducing vehicular traffic. The PLM is home to the Zion Christian Church (ZCC), that hosts one of the biggest mass gathering event on the African continent, but researchers and the media have paid little or no attention to this pilgrimage which attracts more than 15 million pilgrims during the Easter weekend. It is notable that a mass gathering is an event attended by enough people to strain the planning and response resources of a community, state or nation. The researchers adopted an action research strategy with the view to carving out a lasting solution to the management of the high volume of vehicular traffic during the Easter weekend pilgrimage. Judgemental or purposive sampling was chosen over other available sampling methods due to the few experienced municipality employees who work closely with the church in the planning of the pilgrimage. Eight themes emerged during the interaction between the researchers and the municipality. The study graphically showed that there was a lack of synergy between the ZCC and the municipality in the execution of the pilgrimage. The research findings suggested that; traffic congestion was attributable to a vehicular-centric approach to transport planning in South Africa. The heavy reliance on vehicular transportation by South Africans is a cause of road accidents. The study recommended an introduction of a pilgrim train for the church with a view to reducing vehicular traffic congestion during the Easter weekend pilgrimage for the collective good of both the motorists and the pilgrims.

The optimal allocation of resources is a critical factor for the successful implementation of construction projects since it ensures stability in the work execution. Resource allocation is a complex optimization analysis, especially when it comes to linear or repetitive projects. In such projects, the Line of Balance scheduling method is preferred to the CPM-based scheduling. This study aims at developing a multi-objective model for optimizing resource allocation in such type of projects under different objective criteria and problem constraints. The practical implications of each criterion in terms of project cost are considered to provide some guidance on what criterion may be more suitable under particular circumstances. The optimization is obtained through a genetic algorithm formulation implemented in a spreadsheet form and with the use of a commercial optimization software. Indicative evaluation results are presented on the basis of a case study and show that criteria involving as decision parameters the cumulative exceedance of resources above a given resource availability threshold or the total number of resource movements in and out of the project may be the most appropriate to simulate actual costs and provide effective resource allocation solutions.

Housing has been experiencing significant rework within the supply chain. Rework has afflicted both cost and schedule of projects due to the complex environment, intricate activities and highly fragmented nature of housing supply chain. Housing supply chain generate immense data and share information with different parties, which contribute to multitude of countless challenges. As a result of rework, productivity and workflow of information in construction supply chain has been affected with a catalogue of problems for the past few decades. Automation in construction supply chain with novel technological and analytical strategies has aspired industry to improve the productivity and change the trajectory of traditional, manual and analogue way of processing. The aim of this study is to explore possible opportunities of employing new technologies and challenges involved in utilising automated technologies for minimising rework in housing supply chain. The research methodology is based on a review of literature to investigate automated technologies to eliminate rework in housing supply chain. A conceptual framework is proposed to determine the suitability of various technologies to fully automate housing supply chain and facilitate the reduction of rework in construction housing supply chain.
