    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.

    Project Plannig and Management Using Building Information Modeling (bim)
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Politi, Ruti Ruth; Aktaş, Engin; İlal, Mustafa Emre
    Today, in construction practice, implementation of effective construction management techniques and tools is becoming essential, especially as the scale of the projects increases. Large scale projects pose a challenge to industry; as the number of tasks, parameters and constraints to be considered rises, interaction of these tasks and parameters increases the complexity, as well. While the search for techniques and tools for better coping with complexity will never end, Building Information Modeling (BIM) has recently emerged as an approach that achieves considerable improvement in efficiently handling complexity. BIM is able to provide a digital visualization of a building or structure in 3D. The necessary geometric data is modeled but more importantly all semantic data associated with the project (function of the element, material properties, construction details, schedules, etc.) is stored with the model. The intent is to have a single model of the project for all stakeholders over all phases of the project. In this study, the main challenges within the current practice of project management are analyzed and what BIM-based project management has to offer to those challenges have been discussed. The thesis explores how BIM method can be applied to project management and how information can be collected to build a BIM model. The advantages of BIM-based scheduling (4D), cost estimation (5D), sustainability (6D), facility management (7D) and structural analysis in the scope of project management is discussed. A case study is given to validate the use of the computer aided programs for nD BIM during the construction phase.

    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.

    Factors Constraining the Development of Professional Project Management in Turkey's Urban Design Practice
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2004) Kılınç, Deniz; Günaydın, Hüsnü Murat
    Project success is achieved via the obtainment of the product which provides desired quality within definite time and limited resources and with maximum performance. Project management is an occupation which requires utilizing modern management techniques to provide this. Today, project management concepts are utilized in many different fields such as medicine, chemistry, industry.etc. Western countries utilize project management approach in extensive urban design projects aiming especially urban renewal and transformation, too. However, it is not, yet, possible to say that this approach is widely utilized in our country.s urban design practice.This study investigates the perception of project management understanding in Turkey.s urban design practice and the factors constraining the development of professional project management in this field.

    Land Readjustment Process in Urban Design: Project Management Approach
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2004) Konursay, Sadık Yılmaz; Günaydın, Yılmaz
    Land readjustment is an essential tool used for the re-organization of urban areas. It aims to convert cadastral parcels into suitable forms of development plots for public and private use according to town planning requirements. Hence, land readjustment method maintains great opportunities to the solution of land-use problems in urban-fringe areas. In Turkey, "Article 18", which is a crucial necessity for planned urbanization, is the most effective land acquisition method used in many cases. Thus, as a rapid urbanizing country, the implementation pace of development plans should be parallel to urbanization pace in order to respond to increasing land demand. Should this pace be kept, necessary urban public areas for better urban life could be provided. From this point of view, project management, which is a vital instrument to control and coordinate a project from inception to completion, should be undoubtedly contemplated for the utilization of "Article 18" more efficiently and rapidly. Therefore, "Article 18" projects could be realized in the desired quality by keeping the balance among scope, time and cost. This study describes not only Turkish land readjustment procedures but also different land readjustment procedures used in various countries (i.e. Germany, France, Japan, Western Australia and etc), discusses the advantages & disadvantages and therefore puts forth the problems of these procedures. In this respect, this study consequently proposes two approaches for land readjustment process in Turkey; one of which is a project management approach to reduce the problems of existing .Article 18. process and the other is an alternative land readjustment process instead of "Article 18" by using project management concepts as well. At the end of the study, a case study for Uzundere District is carried out in order to validate the feasibility of project management approach.
