Research paper thumbnail of Integration of BIM and Lean Implementation in the Construction Industry—A Literature Review

The coordination between numerous construction-related components has been enhanced owing to this technology. Construction sector harnesses the potential of BIM for client-driven requirements such as increased productivity and quality through savings in cost, time, material waste, carbon emissions, and resource usage. Integrating BIM and Lean concepts in the pre-construction stage may benefit from better decision-making in several areas, including documentation, procurement, and financing. Several publications have discussed how these two concepts are specifically combined. The majority of papers address the use of a specific Lean tool in conjunction with BIM. Some papers investigate the difficulties in implementing the BIM and Lean combination. However, very few studies have looked into how different Lean dimensions can be combined with BIM for use in the construction industry. Though, there have been many literature reviews on the Lean–BIM integration; however, the current study differs from previous studies in that it sought to investigate the various techniques and Lean dimensions that are integrated with BIM, as well as highlight the major adoption issues in the construction industry. Thus, the present study adds to the body of knowledge or profession as it reviews the literature on the relationships between BIM and Lean while also investigating the opportunities and challenges of using this combination to address cost and time overrun issues. Furthermore, the study's findings highlight the key barriers to using BIM for Lean construction and offer solutions for overcoming them.

Research paper thumbnail of Urban land Development Policies in India: A Comparative Analysis

This has led to the need for optimal land development mechanisms that provide landowners with valuation gains and funding without relying on government tax resources. Currently, several mechanisms exist for urban land development in India, but the number of studies is low in India. This study compares and evaluates these mechanisms, analyzing land development laws, rules, and policies of Indian cities. The findings reveal that existing land policies share common approaches, but their mechanisms and frameworks differ, leading to the selection of different development models. The study also highlights the lack of an integrated approach to land development, which is crucial for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The findings of this study could assist urban planning consultants and development authorities in structuring their land development policies.

Research paper thumbnail of Application of Integrated Fuzzy-AHP and Decision Tree Model for Delay Management in Road Construction Projects

The purpose of this study is to develop a framework to reduce disagreements between the various parties involve in the road construction projects. Its findings can be utilised to improve contractor quality and assist clients in identifying, and analysing the reasons of delays, which will enable industry practitioners in reducing the likelihood of delays. Study design/methodology/approach : In this study, the outcomes of the expert opinion inquiry for delays are thoroughly examined. Using Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methodologies, this study examines the major reasons for delays in road construction projects in India. Through industry responses and interpretation, while utilizing the integrated fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and decision tree approach, the study proposes a framework that evaluates and analyses reasons for delays based on the complexity of various risks. Findings : The findings indicate that the main causes of delays in road construction projects are related to labor, equipment and material, and the owner related, which must be addressed via "performance-based contracting." Originality/value: The usefulness of the suggested framework is shown through the application in road construction projects. It develops the insight to visualize the potential risks that may cause delays and decision alternatives to resolve issues. This study have the potential to effectively manage road construction delays. Research limitations/implications: This study has two limitations: one is the subjectivity of expert responses, and other is the focus on only local causes of road construction delays in India's Konkan region.
