Conflict brings breakdown of relationships between project participants and results to project delays, claims and disputes which are the main shortcomings in completion of the project within objectives and goal. The previous studies have explored the factors and attempted on management of conflicts in project; however these studies rarely explain specific issues of conflict and identified them. Hence, explicit study on identification of conflict issues is essential. Therefore, the objective of this study is to identify the critical conflict issues between public owners and contractors during construction phase in public projects. The research methodology is adopted based on questionnaire survey focusing public owners and contractors. The findings come up with several conflict issues related to project time, cost, quality, safety, scope and personnel. The results can be useful for construction practitioners by taking alternate approaches for reducing the bad consequences of construction conflict.

Research paper thumbnail of Defect detection and quantification system to support subjective visual quality inspection via a digital image processing: A tiling work case study

Automation in Construction, 2012

Because people are limited in what they can detect visually, inspectors are not able to quantify the value of a defect and cannot perform an inspection that includes all possible defects. Subjective evaluations depend on individual experience and are unreliable because they do not have objective standards. Therefore, this paper presents an innovative system of defect detection and quantification. The system is able to augment subjective visual quality inspections in architectural work by specifying defect positions and quantifying defect values. This method uses defect feature analysis and quantifies the defect value from digital images using a digital image processing technique. The inspection of tiling work was chosen as a case study for developing a prototype of the system. This paper describes the conceptual framework of the proposed system's application and the methodology of the system's development. It includes a field verification of the potential and accuracy of developed prototype system by comparing the results of human inspections and those of the proposed system. A potential benefit of the system is an increase in the reliability of visual quality inspection by reducing the subjective human judgment of aesthetic faults.

Thus, perceived ICT benefits have motivated numerous construction organisations to adopt and invest in this technology. However, many construction organisations have found that the ICT investment has failed to meet their expectations.

One explanation of this trend in slow innovation adoption may be lack of innovation diffusion experience by senior managers who decide whether to be early or late ICT adopters. There is no easy answer to the question why this may be the case.

It also describes and provides an analysis of their COPs from the perspective of the individual, work group and organisation. We provide maps of these COPs for each of the three contractors studied. The intention of using this approach is to offer readers insights into how these COPs can be developed and supported.

Industry fragmentation may be decreasing with a shift from projects being regarded as independent entities towards an industry with an integrated activity flow through the supply chain.

It uses both quantitative and qualitative research approaches to identify factors and processes influencing ICT diffusion at the actual implementation phase. The result indicates that management, individual and technology group factors are essential to ICT diffusion at the initial adoption stage.
