This article reviews the depth to which the South African suites of contracts may facilitate the effective implementation of construction project management practices. The hypothesis states that the standard South African forms of contract for building work have evolved to promote control through construction project management processes. The South African suites of contracts are reviewed against the project management office’s (PMO) main focus areas for best practices. This endeavours to establish the conduciveness to facilitate good project management functions on building projects. The main clauses of each contract are compared to the construction project management knowledge areas. Two contracts are reviewed, and it is established that both contracts (General Conditions of Contract for Du Plessis • Facilitation of construction project management... 121 Construction Work 2015 and the Joint Building Contracts Committee’s (JBCC) Principal Building Agreement Edition 6.2) provide the employer’s agent (EA) the necessary authority to manage the project for its intended purpose. It became apparent that the contracts may allow certain project management functions to be implemented by placing different emphases on different aspects of the contract. Due to the complexity and uniqueness of each project, the number of standard contract conditions governing a contract are limited. A strong project management function must take place during the planning phases. The contract used influences the way in which the project management functions are applied during the project life cycle (PLC). Thus, the project manager must have an intimate knowledge of the content of the contract in order to implement the desired construction project management functions, as required during each of the PLC stages.
这篇文章回顾了南非合同套件可以促进有效实施建设项目管理实践的深度。该假设指出,标准的南非建筑工程合同形式已经演变为通过建筑项目管理过程促进控制。根据项目管理办公室(PMO)的主要关注领域对南非合同套件进行审查,以获得最佳实践。这样做的目的是建立有利于建筑项目的良好项目管理职能。将各合同的主要条款与建设项目管理知识领域进行比较。审查了两个合同,并确定这两个合同(杜立石合同一般条件•促进建设项目管理…121建筑工程2015和联合建筑合同委员会(JBCC)主建筑协议6.2版)为雇主代理(EA)提供了必要的权力,以管理项目的预期目的。很明显,通过对合同的不同方面给予不同的重视,合同可能允许实施某些项目管理职能。由于每个项目的复杂性和独特性,约束合同的标准合同条件的数量是有限的。在计划阶段必须具备强大的项目管理功能。所使用的合同影响在项目生命周期(PLC)中应用项目管理功能的方式。因此,项目经理必须对合同内容有深入的了解,以便在每个PLC阶段实施所需的建设项目管理功能。

Disputes within the built environment are usually diverse, with their complexity often depending on the number of role players and difficulty of the construction project. Disputes can be resolved through litigation, but this is often costly and time consuming. A study in 2012 reveals that, among others, arbitration, mediation, negotiation and adjudi cation are different forms of Alternative Dispute-Resolution (ADR) methods preferred and used to resolve disputes in the built environment. This article professionals and candidates to determine the implementation of ADR methods. This questionnaire was distrusted by the Chief Operations Officer, Mrs Barbara van Stade to the aforementioned SACAP database. The survey response amounted to 396 participating architectural practitioners, resulting in 2.91% of registered architectural professionals and candidates in the South African built environment. Consequently, this is the most comprehensive study on the preferred use of ADR methods by architectural practitioners in the built environment of South Africa. This study specifically focuses on architectural practitioners who have been involved in settling disputes between the period of 2012 to 2016. The findings reveal a shifting preference in ADR methods used since what the previous study found in 2012. Although previous studies indicate adjudication as the preferred method to resolve disputes, the data reveals that architectural practitioners increasingly make use of negotiation, followed by mediation and then arbitration. This study identifies current ADR trends, and provides a perspective on the future development of ADR mechanisms for architectural professionals in the South African built environment.
建筑环境中的争议通常是多样的,其复杂性通常取决于角色的数量和建筑项目的难度。纠纷可以通过诉讼解决,但这通常成本高昂且耗时。2012年的一项研究表明,除其他外,仲裁、调解、谈判和调解是在建筑环境中解决争议的首选和使用的不同形式的替代争议解决(ADR)方法。本文确定了专业人员和候选人实施ADR的方法。首席运营官Barbara van Stade女士对上述SACAP数据库不信任该问卷。该调查共有396名建筑从业者参与,占南非建筑环境中注册建筑专业人员和候选人的2.91%。因此,这是关于建筑从业者在南非建筑环境中首选ADR方法的最全面的研究。本研究特别关注2012年至2016年间参与解决纠纷的建筑从业者。这些发现揭示了自2012年之前的研究发现以来,人们对ADR方法的偏好发生了变化。尽管先前的研究表明,裁决是解决争议的首选方法,但数据显示,建筑从业者越来越多地使用谈判,然后是调解,然后是仲裁。本研究确定了当前的ADR趋势,并为南非建筑环境中建筑专业人员的ADR机制的未来发展提供了一个视角。

Although implementing quality assurance (QA) processes in construction is important in the South African economy, small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs) faced difficulties in improving rural road infrastructure and highquality roads. Hardly any effort is made on to how sustain quality in road-project construction through suitable construction strategy in local governments. This article aims to analyse and examine the quality of road-construction projects built by SMEs contractors in Mopani District Municipality, South Africa. The article follows a quantitative survey approach in which a three-section questionnaire was administered to 160 purposively selected roadbuilding practitioners in South African construction SMEs. The questionnaire was structured into three parts, which sought the participants’ profile, identified the quality assurance practices (QAPs) incorporated in the construction SMEs’ road-building programmes, and identified the factors that negatively Acta Structilia 2019: 26(1) 2 influence the implementation of QA processes. Data was analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23. Descriptive statistics was used to determine the reliability of the various constructs, mean scores, and standard deviations. The empirical findings established eight QAPs that were reliable and valid for implementation processes that can control or minimise their causes of poor quality in projects undertaken by construction SMEs’ level of skill acquisition. These are: project planning and control techniques; project construction design; process implementation and process improvement; financial management; organisational structures; involvement of people, as well as quality standards and measurements. The eight factors attained high Cronbach Alpha values above the recommended 0.70, which indicates high internal consistencies among the sub-scales. This article is significant in that project managers working in similar environments may use the results of this study either as diagnostic tools or as a reference benchmark for strategic interventions in solving construction projects-related problems. The researchers also recommend that these practices are for QA in construction projects undertaken by SMEs in South Africa.
尽管在施工中实施质量保证流程在南非经济中很重要,但中小型企业在改善农村道路基础设施和高质量道路方面面临困难。在地方政府如何通过适当的建设策略来维持道路工程建设的质量方面,几乎没有做出任何努力。本文旨在分析和检验南非莫帕尼区中小企业承包商建造的道路建设项目的质量。本文采用了一种定量调查方法,对160名南非建筑中小企业的道路建设从业者进行了三部分问卷调查。该问卷分为三个部分,旨在了解参与者的概况,确定建筑中小企业道路建设计划中包含的质量保证实践(QAP),并确定对Acta Structilia 2019:26(1)2影响质量保证流程实施的负面因素。使用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)第23版对数据进行分析。描述性统计用于确定各种结构的可靠性、平均分和标准差。实证研究结果建立了八个可靠有效的质量保证计划,用于实施过程,可以控制或最大限度地减少建筑中小企业技能获取水平所承担项目质量差的原因。这些是:项目规划和控制技术;项目施工设计;过程实施和过程改进;财务管理;组织结构;人员的参与,以及质量标准和测量。这八个因素获得了高于建议0.70的高Cronbach Alpha值,这表明子尺度之间具有较高的内部一致性。这篇文章的意义在于,在类似环境中工作的项目经理可以将这项研究的结果用作诊断工具,也可以作为解决建筑项目相关问题的战略干预的参考基准。研究人员还建议,这些做法适用于南非中小企业开展的建筑项目中的质量保证。

Although proper safety management in construction is of prime importance, evidence from literature suggests that many developing countries do not consider safety adequately. This article examines the factors that influence the performance of safety management programmes in the Ghanaian Construction Industry. The objectives set to achieve this aim include identifying the safety elements incorporated in the safety programmes of construction firms, and determining the factors that negatively influence the performance of such elements. For objectivity, a quantitative survey was conducted among safety managers of 60 D1 building construction firms located in the Kumasi and Greater Accra regions of Ghana. The questionnaire was structured into three parts, which sought the respondents’ profile, identified the safety elements incorporated in the firms’ safety programmes, and identified the factors that negatively influence the performance of the safety elements. Following a detailed literature review, the respondents were asked to rate 13 elements and 17 factors on a Likert scale. Data was analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 22. In addition to determining the reliability of the various constructs, the MSs, modes and standard deviations were obtained. The findings revealed that all of the 13 elements were incorporated in the firms’ safety programmes. The key elements identified include ‘providing safety managers on site’; ‘providing written and comprehensive safety and health plans’; ‘introducing project-specific training and regular safety meetings’; ‘providing safety and health orientation training’, and ‘involving employees in safety and evaluation’. The findings further revealed that 16 of the 17 factors negatively influence the performance of the firms’ safety programmes. The identified factors were, among others, ‘insufficient communication of safety programmes’; ‘lack of workers’ self-protection and awareness’; ‘contractors ignoring safety, due to the time pressures of the project schedule’; ‘poor personal attitudes towards safety’, and ‘ineffective laws and lack of enforcement’. Findings from this study should be useful to construction practitioners seeking to improve the safety records of their firms. Keywords : Safety performance, safety programmes, safety elements, construction projects
尽管施工中的适当安全管理至关重要,但文献证据表明,许多发展中国家没有充分考虑安全问题。本文考察了影响加纳建筑业安全管理计划绩效的因素。为实现这一目标而设定的目标包括确定建筑公司安全计划中包含的安全要素,并确定对这些要素的性能产生负面影响的因素。为了客观起见,对位于加纳库马西和大阿克拉地区的60家D1建筑施工公司的安全经理进行了定量调查。问卷分为三个部分,调查对象的概况,确定了公司安全计划中包含的安全要素,并确定了对安全要素绩效产生负面影响的因素。在详细的文献回顾之后,受访者被要求在Likert量表上对13个要素和17个因素进行评分。使用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)第22版对数据进行分析。除了确定各种结构的可靠性外,还获得了MS、模式和标准偏差。调查结果显示,这13项要素都被纳入了公司的安全计划。确定的关键要素包括“在现场提供安全管理人员”提供书面和全面的安全和健康计划引入项目具体培训和定期安全会议提供安全和健康指导培训”,以及“让员工参与安全和评估”。调查结果进一步显示,17个因素中有16个对公司安全计划的绩效产生了负面影响。已确定的因素包括“安全计划沟通不足”缺乏工人的自我保护和意识由于项目进度的时间压力,承包商忽视安全个人对安全的不良态度”,以及“无效的法律和缺乏执行”。这项研究的结果应该对寻求改善其公司安全记录的建筑从业者有用。关键词:安全绩效、安全方案、安全要素、建设项目

The current implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) by construction professionals in the Kenyan construction industry is an area of concern. BIM is increasingly being applied worldwide to improve communication between project stakeholders, visualization of design, detect potential clashes, reduced redesign during project implementation, improve design quality, reduce costs, and improve the rate of return for projects. However, the application of BIM in the Kenyan construction industry is still lagging, resulting in poor co-ordination of information among construction project stakeholders. This study determines the current state of BIM application, the benefits of BIM application and the BIM application barriers in Kenya. A quantitative research approach was used and data was collected, using an online questionnaire survey from 310 registered construction professionals selected by stratified sampling. The benefits and barriers factors that influence BIM application in Kenya were rated and set as the independent variables with ‘years of experience’ and ‘total completed projects’ as the dependent variables. The data was analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24. Principal components analysis (PCA) was used to extract the main factors for benefits and barriers of BIM implementation. Chi-square tests were used to determine relationships between independent and dependent variables. Improved communication was ranked as the most important BIM benefit, while the high cost of buying and updating software was ranked as the main barrier to the application of BIM. Based on the results of the study, improved design quality is influenced by the number of years of experience one has in the building construction industry. The number of projects undertaken by a company using BIM in any capacity has an influence on greater productivity, due to easy retrieval of information. It is recommended that BIM training should be undertaken by software vendors in vocational and tertiary institutions as well as in construction firms. In addition, the government should formulate policies and standards to support the use of BIM. This study adds to the body of knowledge about BIM application in Nairobi, Kenya that is beneficial to developers, architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, project managers, contractors, and facility managers. Keywords : Building information modelling (BIM), BIM adoption, Kenyan construction sector
肯尼亚建筑行业的建筑专业人员目前实施的建筑信息建模是一个令人担忧的领域。BIM在全球范围内越来越多地被应用于改善项目利益相关者之间的沟通、设计可视化、检测潜在冲突、减少项目实施过程中的重新设计、提高设计质量、降低成本和提高项目回报率。然而,BIM在肯尼亚建筑业的应用仍然滞后,导致建筑项目利益相关者之间的信息协调不力。本研究确定了BIM应用的现状、BIM应用的好处以及肯尼亚BIM应用的障碍。采用定量研究方法,通过分层抽样从310名注册建筑专业人员中进行在线问卷调查,收集数据。影响肯尼亚BIM应用的效益和障碍因素被评定为自变量,“经验年限”和“已完成项目总数”为因变量。使用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)第24版对数据进行分析。主成分分析(PCA)用于提取BIM实施的效益和障碍的主要因素。卡方检验用于确定自变量和因变量之间的关系。改善沟通被列为BIM最重要的好处,而购买和更新软件的高昂成本被列为应用BIM的主要障碍。根据研究结果,设计质量的提高受到建筑施工行业经验年限的影响。由于信息检索方便,使用BIM的公司承担的项目数量对提高生产力有影响。建议BIM培训应由职业和高等院校以及建筑公司的软件供应商进行。此外,政府应制定政策和标准来支持BIM的使用。这项研究增加了有关肯尼亚内罗毕BIM应用的知识,有利于开发商、建筑师、工程师、工料测量师、项目经理、承包商和设施经理。关键词:建筑信息建模(BIM),BIM采用,肯尼亚建筑业
