An intelligent approach to the engineering management of subsidence cases
Emerald - Tập 3 Số 3 - Trang 233-248 - 1996
The engineering management of housing subsidence cases is an important field of
work for many UK engineers, and remains of enduring interest to householders,
insurers and other parties involved in the construction and maintenance of
residential buildings. There are often difficulties in the diagnosis and repair
of buildings subject to subsidence damage due to several factors, including the
complex...
Cost‐significant modelling ‐ its potential for use in south‐east Asia
Emerald - Tập 2 Số 2 - Trang 121-139 - 1995
A rich variety of cost models is used in the world's construction industries. In
countries exposed to British practice, the use of traditional bills of
quantities is common. Elsewhere, bills of quantities may not be used at all.
This paper briefly reviews the nature and purpose of cost models both in the UK
and in south‐east Asia. It explains how the principle of cost‐significance can
lead to a si...
Dispute causation: identification of pathogenic influences in construction
Emerald - - 2010
PurposeWhile a considerable amount of knowledge has been accumulated about
dispute causation, disputes continue to prevail and disharmonise the process of
construction with considerable cost. This paper seeks to identify the underlying
pathogens that clients and contractors perceive to contribute to disputes in
construction projects. The identification of pathogens can provide an
ameliorated under...
Knowledge management in consulting engineering – joining IT and human resources to support the production of knowledge
Emerald - Tập 10 Số 6 - Trang 391-401 - 2003
This article discusses how information technology and human resource oriented
management tools can be integrated using their respective strengths to enable
knowledge production. Two companies’ KM strategies encompassing a strong
IT‐component in combination with organisation, training and office design are
analysed. Their experience shows that joining information technology with the
human resource ...
Making sense of research quality assessment
Emerald - - 2007
PurposeFor many academics in UK universities the nature and orientation of their
research is overwhelmingly determined by considerations of how that work will be
graded in research assessment exercises (RAEs). The grades awarded to work in a
particular subject area can have a considerable impact on the individual and
their university. There is a need to better understand those factors which may
in...
Information for the management of the building‐materials flow
Emerald - Tập 1 Số 2 - Trang 139-146 - 1994
The job satisfaction of UK architects and relationships with work‐life balance and turnover intentions
Emerald - - 2009
PurposeThere is evidence that those working within the construction industry are
exposed to a number of stressors which potentially negatively impact well‐being,
namely; long working hours, high workload, poor work‐life balance, low sense of
professional worth and lack of job security. Additionally there is some evidence
architects may also be vulnerable to an erosion of professional status, low p...
Competitive strategy for quantity surveying practices: the importance of information technology
Emerald - Tập 3 Số 3 - Trang 163-186 - 1996
Strategic planning in pursuit of competitive advantage has become a wide‐spread
modern business objective. The construction industry shows some evidence of
strategic planning implementation; however such concepts are mainly adopted by
large contracting companies that have the resources to identify and develop
competitive weapons such as information systems/technology (IS/IT). For
professional serv...
Investigating interpersonal communication during construction progress meetings: challenges and opportunities
Emerald - - 2003
Progress meetings provide a central forum for requesting and exchanging the
information necessary for the successful completion of construction projects.
Although common to the majority of projects, little is known about the
interaction between participants during these meetings. Reviews appropriateness
of methodologies for the study of group interaction and discusses the problems
encountered when...
