    A Critical Analysis of Project Cost Estimation Models in Construction Management Literature
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Özkan, Selen; Kale, Serdar
    Studies in recent years have shown that the majority of published studies cannot be reproduced. Failure to reproduce the researchs lead to a crisis in the reliability of the study results. The importance and benefits of reproducible research results have been well understood in a number academic fields such as psychology and biomedicine and in turn several steps have been taken to ensure the adequate data sharing in order to reproduce the studies. . The thesis presented herein explores the concept of reproducibility in the context of construction management literature in particular construction cost estimation research. A sample of 227 articles published in project management and construction management journals was analyzed. The research findings reveal that only 3.69% of articles can be reproduced and reproducibility is a major issue in construction management literature. The primary reasons those the reproducibility of the studies difficult include missing data, presentation method, inability to read the graphics and tables, incomplete reporting and explanation errors. It appears that the reliability crisis which has widely acknowledge in a number research fields is also major in the construction management literature.

    Bim Execution Process of Construction Companies for Building Projects
    (İzmir Institute of Technology, 2016) Gerçek, Bilge; İlal, Mustafa Emre; Günaydın, Hüsnü Murat; Tokdemir, Onur Behzat
    Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an emerging concept in architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry promising to replace traditional 2D based construction documentation and management procedures and to reduce rework and cost in project execution. The level of information that could be assigned to building objects in BIM technologies could provide vast amounts of benefits to construction projects throughout projects’ life-cycle. Implementation of BIM, however, requires strategic planning to enable achieving these potential benefits. Industry-wide and organizational implementation guidelines and standards have been published around the world either to encourage organizations to adopt BIM or to present the minimum requirements to be followed where BIM implementation is a statutory obligation. In contrast, BIM implementation and/or deliverables has not been mandated by government or organizations yet in Turkey, therefore organizations which plan to adopt BIM processes have to develop their own implementation plans. The purpose of this study is to provide guidance in BIM implementation for construction companies particularly during the construction phase of the building projects. BIM standards and guidelines, and studies related to BIM implementation have been reviewed and important aspects of implementation have been identified. A case study of BIM implementation at a large construction company in Turkey to conduct quantity takeoff and cost estimation are presented and unique challenges of BIM implementation in Turkish AEC industry are discussed.
