La innovación que requiere el sector de la construcción es más que simplemente implementar tecnología, es necesario digitalizar el sector y promover el trabajo colaborativo entre las partes interesadas. Muchos países de todo el mundo han incorporado herramientas para facilitar el trabajo colaborativo en sus procesos. En US en particular, son muchas las empresas que están implementando la metodología LPS y están aplicándolas en la construcción junto con las herramientas BIM. En España, sin embargo, la implementación de estas herramientas es relativamente reciente. A través de una encuesta, este artículo busca determinar el nivel de conocimiento que los interesados involucrados en el sector de la construcción español tienen sobre el modelo de trabajo colaborativo, especialmente de las herramientas BIM y LPS. Además, un grupo de expertos propone una selección de Mejores Prácticas (BP) para la aplicación de estas herramientas a un caso de estudio en Madrid (España).

Several authors have studied construction defects, but no studies were found implementing best practices and control strategies through the implementation of continuous improvement projects. This article shows a procedure based on Continuous Improvement Projects, which can be used in building constructions, and it is structured into four phases: Plan, Do, Check, Act, following the PDCA Quality Cycle. In addition, the method developed was specified for ceramic tiling execution and was further implemented in three building projects of Spain. The results obtained concluded that the proposed Procedure can be used by construction professionals who are concerned about improving the quality of construction. In addition, the implementation of the Procedure managed to reduce around 45% the costs derived from the defects caused during the ceramic tiling execution, due to the best practices incorporated in the Procedure. A slight increase in the number of defects was also found, motivated by the thorough inspection conducted when the Procedure was applied. Therefore, the Procedure (incorporating the lessons learned) must be implemented so that by learning, gaining experience, and incorporating best practices, the goal of zero defects can be achieved.

Nowadays, nobody can deny that climate change is a reality and that the life cycle of buildings contributes greatly to that reality. Therefore, proposals such as the circular economy must be integrated into the construction sector. This article shows part of the results of a research project whose objective is to introduce circular economy criteria in building materials, seeking new uses for construction and demolition waste from buildings. In particular, this article analyses the possibility of replacing fibres currently used to reinforce cement mortars with recycled fibres. After consulting the bibliography, we can conclude that some studies analyse the behaviour of cement mortars reinforced with different types of fibres, but none has been found that analyses the behaviour of these mortars for the application of continuous coatings. For this purpose, a two-stage experimental plan is designed to test cement mortar samples with different types of fibres, recycled fibres and commercial fibres, taking into consideration the characteristics that these mortars have to comply to be applied as continuous coatings. Moreover, a detailed study about the porosity of these mortars and its influence on how the mortars behave with regard to compression, water vapour permeability and impermeability has been conducted. From the results obtained, it can be concluded that the mortars containing recycled fibres have very similar resistance, absorption and permeability values to those containing commercial fibres, so that they might be suitable for application as external coatings.

This article presents a series of results that emerged from the implementation of the first phase of a Continuous Improvement study applied to a particular housing construction project. As a result of the study, it was possible to determine the relationship between the most common construction defects in ceramic cladding. Of 7 statistical analysis tools, the 4 most relevant have been selected and systematically used during the present work: data collection sheet, stratification, histogram, and Pareto diagram. The results show that there are 25 main types of detected—and most recurring—incidences of defects in housing construction. From the total sum of accounted defects, 87.5% occur during the execution process, whereas almost half—47.6%—are caused by or derived from improper grout preparation or faulty application. This relation of defects can be used by professionals in the construction industry to implement Continuous Improvement projects focused on minimizing failures. It can also be used as a checklist to carry out quality control of ceramic cladding.

Continuous improvement is a key element in any business strategy, and it is even required in enterprises with a management system in agreement with the UNE EN ISO 9001: 2008 standard. However, due to the characteristics of the construction sector, it is especially complex to put it into practice. This paper describes the work underway to try to reduce defects in construction ceramic coatings applying continuous improvement tools. Once data on the construction defects found in seven housing building works have been collected, priorities were established for the implementation of the improved project, based on statistical tools for continuous improvement. The process of analysis is explained in this paper, as well as the reasons to deepen the study focusing on the shortcomings of this working chapter, so as to establish strategies to reduce failures in it.
