The building industry is blamed for consuming enormous natural resources and creating massive solid waste worldwide. In response to this, the concept of circular economy (CE) has gained much attention in the sector in recent years. Many pilot building projects that implemented CE concepts started to appear around the world, including Taiwan. However, compared with the pilot projects in the Netherlands, which are regarded as the pioneer ones by international society, many CE-related practices are not implemented in pilot cases in Taiwan. To assist future project stakeholders to recognize what the key CE-related practices are and how they could be implemented in their building projects in Taiwan, this study has conducted a series of case studies of Dutch and Taiwanese pilot projects and semi-structured interviews with key project stakeholders of Taiwanese pilot projects. Thirty key CE-related practices are identified via case studies, along with their related 5R principles (Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle) and project phases. Suggestion on CE-related practices, their 5R principles, project items, and phases to implement in building projects in Taiwan is also proposed while discussion on differences between two countries’ pilot projects is presented.

The construction industry is a high debt ratio, high operating risk and high financial leverage business. The financial instability causes a chain reaction among funds transferred among companies, therefore restricting competitiveness within the industry. The industry’s character and accounting principles of firm-years are different from that of other industries. Creating a hypothetical model of a financial crisis within the construction industry is therefore necessary. Application of this model to real scenarios involving relevant parties can help to forecast a financial crisis in the future. This study applied the market-based model, accounting-based model, hybrid models to predict a financial crisis. These models were then compared to find which can best predict a company that will default. Also, in this paper choosing variables for the Hybrid and Accounting-based models can promote their performance. Finally, the best can be selected for predicting stability.

Pile positioning, for driving piles below the surface of water in a marine pier construction project, is typically a time-consuming task owing to the fact that the pile wharf is affected significantly by environmental limitation and marine meteorology. As a result, it is always a goal to minimize the positioning time while maintaining a desired level of accuracy. This study developed a global positioning system (GPS)-based information system, which integrated six major modules. This system was designed to provide a real-time positioning and guidance solution for pile-driving barge control in a marine pier construction project. In a case study, the developed system has been implemented successfully in a real project and proved this system can improve the horizontal accuracy of real-time pile positions by less than 1 cm. It also contributed to a 42% reduction in the construction time and thus an 11% reduction in the final budget. Consequently, the efficiency of a piling construction project could be improved significantly by incorporating such a system.

Due to the high capacity of large buildings, any defective designs in their evacuation facilities may result in massive casualties. In the past, many disasters were caused by ineffective emergency evacuation of large crowds. However, presently, related evacuation studies all have their limitations and problems, such as difficulties and financial constraints for executing full-scale evacuation exercise, moral issues arose from real-life simulation exercises, and neglecting software analysis processes. This research focused on emergency evacuation for large-space gymnasiums and addressed to three major issues: unreliability of computer software simulations, moral risk of real-life exercises and whether or not the scale of large crowd evacuation equivalent to that of the same size crowd exiting. Then, computerized simulation analyses are conducted with two commonly used softwares, such as Simulex and Exodus. Results showed a great variance of risk-bearing value is yielded from different software analysis processes. Also, the authors propose the concept of ‘Hot Area’ replacement exercise to decrease the impact of moral and economic issues. Ultimately, it is found that the exiting time of 2089 people differed 45% from software simulation results. Hence, it is concluded that large-scale crowd exiting does not equal to evacuation of the same number of people.

This is the first study to apply the barrier option model to predict defaults of construction contractors and to assert that the path-dependent characteristic of the model is very suitable for describing the behavior of contractor default. Different from existing contractor-default prediction models, this research uses a much larger contractor sample in empirical analyses to alleviate sample-selection biases, and employs a Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve to assess the model performance. Empirical results of this study show that the proposed model outperforms traditional financial ratio models in differentiating the risk of defaulted and nondefaulted construction contractors. Additionally, the barrier option model has markedly better discriminatory power than when applied to non–construction-related industries. The results of this paper support the postulation that the barrier option model has significant advantages for the construction industry.

The global expansion of public-private partnerships (PPPs) has generated interest in establishing national PPP units for implementing or analyzing PPPs. Despite the good intentions for establishing such units, results have been mixed. Unless its role is clarified, a national PPP unit cannot be successful because it lacks adequate authority to respond appropriately to the changing environment. However, relevant research in construction journals is too limited to provide policymakers with constructive suggestions. This study aims to improve this situation by aligning a theoretical model with empirical data. The PPP activities can be analyzed as a game between the host government and private promoters trying to maximize their respective payoffs; thus, in accordance with new institutional economics (NIE) theory, a national PPP unit can be considered an endogenous equilibrium outcome of a game. On the basis of this perspective, three game (four consensus) theoretical models are constructed to find equilibriums: a single game for a single authority, repeated games for a single authority, and repeated games for government with multiple subordinate authorities. This study also uses a case study to present the history of PPPs in Taiwan and the evolutionary role of the National PPP Taskforce, Taiwan. National and international data confirm the theoretical model, which indicates that the common role of a national PPP unit is as a trust-creator between the public and private sectors. This pilot study contributes to the theoretical foundation that policymakers need to accelerate the learning process for implementing a PPP. It also provides researchers in the construction field with an NIE methodology for analyzing other governance structures in the construction field.

This paper presents an algorithm for efficiently designing, fabricating, and constructing the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems for buildings. MEP facility construction presents numerous challenges related to its complexity, space limitations, and interference with other trades working in confined areas. Besides, schedule delays can easily be caused by the uncontrolled delivery schedule of the components. This research provides a rational planning algorithm which packages large and complex MEP systems into several smaller fabricated components using spatial planning algorithms to increase the efficiency of the installation process, create a safer work environment, improve construction quality and productivity, reduce construction cycle time, and minimize cost. Furthermore, the technique is verified and validated by three experts and a case study is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of this algorithm.

Construction contractor evaluation is a critical issue in successfully completing a project. It is important for project owners and other stakeholders to identify potentially failing contractors and to avoid awarding them contracts. Previous studies developed construction contractor default prediction models incorporating managerial or economic variables into traditional financial ratio models to enhance predicting power. However, managerial variables are subjective and qualitative, and both economic variables and financial ratios are only available periodically and may not provide the necessary information in time. This study predicts contractor default by employing three option-based credit models (BSM, CB, and BS) based on stock market information, and the empirical results show that all of the models have strong discriminatory power in ranking contractors from riskiest to safest. The misclassification rates of the three models are BSM: 10%, CB: 10%, and BS: 12.7%, all of which are smaller than that of the enhanced ratio model developed by Russell and Zhai (22%), and two of which are smaller than that of the model developed by Severson and colleagues (12.5%). The results show that option-based credit models are good alternatives for construction contractor default prediction.

Material costs comprise major portion of total costs in construction projects. In developed countries, 40–45% of total construction cost is for materials alone. In some developing countries, material costs make up as much as 60–65% of the total cost for a construction project (Formoso & Revelo, 1999). This research studied the relationships between pre-cast’s production operations and site construction activities to develop a pre-cast production planning model. The model was established to meet the site construction demands for pre-cast elements, satisfy internal resource constraints, and optimize total production costs of production resources. The algorithms employed for solving the pre-cast production planning model were genetic algorithms and the branch-and-bound method. The near-optimal solutions were evaluated with the quality of total production cost. In the empirical study, an actual case was used to evaluate the performance of the model and algorithms. The results show that the model and the solving algorithm provide better quality of solutions than the pre-caster’s production plan and improve the actual production results in the illustrative case.

The construction industry consists of many unstructured documents, which accumulate a large volume of tacit knowledge. In the general domain, a Knowledge Map can illustrate connections of knowledge and transfer tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge, but this is unsuitable on specific domain such as construction industry. This research generalized existing mapping rules to be applied to general and specific domain; and presented a novel and practical model for building knowledge map, named Knowledge Map Model (KMM). This model comprised of five procedures, including identifying problems, discussing with experts and users, establishing the classification structure, establishing the document base, and deciding the display model. Furthermore, this research establishes Knowledge Map Model System (KMMS) as a major tool to improve the knowledge map reused and shared among the practical process. Finally, this re‐search validated the KMM in a real project of bridge maintenance.

In recent years, general contractors in the construction industry have gradually begun to implement a system called enterprise resource planning (ERP). During the ERP implementation process, contractors performed required analyses on daily operation functions demanded by the enterprise. The analyses focused on function mapping to ensure that ERP satisfies all the requirements, including the functions of existing information systems, and meets future requirements. The process of function mapping in the construction industry typically involves a series of lengthy and time-consuming meetings, and face-to-face discussions; systematic analysis procedure was lacking. This research will propose a novel function mapping approach, the Architecture of Integrated Information Systems (ARIS)-house-based (AHB) method, to enhance the effectiveness of meetings and improve the efficiency of discussions. In addition, AHB method will use the structure of ARIS-house diagram to guide the function mapping process, streamline existing information systems, meet future requirements, and successfully implement ERP. Finally, this research will use a case study to verify the effectiveness of the AHB method for contractor to implement ERP.

The process knowledge assets make a substantial contribution to the risk management (RM) for contractors in the construction phase. To effectively reuse these assets, knowledge extraction becomes a significant research area. This paper was designed to explore an approach to conduct knowledge extraction by establishing project risk ontology. Specifically, the study proposed the ontology-based risk management (ORM) framework to enhance the RM performance by improving the RM workflow and knowledge reuse. The ORM framework facilitated the identification, analysis, and response of project risks. This study validated the ORM framework through a case demonstration. Through the implementation and application, the results demonstrated that the ORM framework was able to apply to the RM workflow for contractors, and more importantly, it greatly increased the effectiveness of project RM.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is characterized with superior predispositions, including the recognition of multiple markers, communication ranges from five to six meters, and a storage database for thousands of data files. These unique features resolve data storage and record-reviewing difficulties, prevent repetitive data entries, and facilitate instant feedbacks. The precast industry is a management-intensive sector, for which pivotal issues include methods relevant to the instant provision of acquired management information to executive managers, materials of precast concrete products, quality control inspection and inventory and transportation management information, and convenient data entry for frontline personnel. It is anticipated to integrate usage of Personal Digital Assistants (PDA) and the application of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). Using RFID tag and reader to collect the information, and then transmit the multi-faceted, mobilized information such as the production quantity, the materials quantity, quality control inspection and inventory and transportation management information to the manager office or the site worker via the PDA and wireless Internet. This precast production management system which has been developed by the author and utilized in precast production management encompasses inspection of incoming materials, production process inspection, molds inspection, specimen strength feedback, and logistic and receiving management. The mobilized information frame elaborated in this proposal can, to certain degree, be regarded as a reference for the construction of a mobilized precast industry management system.
