Breaking the Sisyphean loop: reconceptualizing the treatment of risk and uncertainty in transport projects Open
Worldwide transport projects repeatedly exceed their budgets. This problem has received widespread attention over several decades, with little progress made to improve project cost performance. Consequently, this has led to the emergence o…

Building absorptive capacity in a mega-project program alliance: Learning to mitigate rework Open
Collaborative procurement forms such as program alliancing can create a burgeoning environment for absorptive capacity to materialize, enabling learning and rework to be mitigated. However, little is known about the learning routines and p…

Technical and economic analyses of PV battery systems considering two different tariff policies Open
Installing batteries in solar photovoltaic (PV) houses is becoming commonplace and different tariff policies give residents more options to lower their energy bills. This paper develops two rule-based control strategies to operate solar PV…

Quality II: A new paradigm for construction Open
The Quality I paradigm utilizes an error prevention strategy to avert rework in construction. The effectiveness of this paradigm is questionable as rework has become an innate feature of practice. If rework is to be mitigated in constructi…

Fast-and-frugal heuristics: an exploration into building an adaptive toolbox to assess the uncertainty of rework Open
Performing rework within the production system of construction is the most expensive waste that confronts organisations, with its causation yet to be fully understood in practice. Any effort to assess the risk of rework poses challenges du…

Curating a domain ontology for rework in construction: challenges and learnings from practice Open
Rework remains an ever-present reality in construction projects. How rework data is defined, its format, location, and quantification contribute to the difficulty in managing its risks. This paper examines the challenges and acquired learn…

On-site solar PV generation and use: Self-consumption and self-sufficiency Open
As energy storage systems are typically not installed with residential solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, any “excess” solar energy exceeding the house load remains unharvested or is exported to the grid. This paper introduces an approach to…

Generating value in program alliances: the value of dialogue in large-scale infrastructure projects Open
Collaboration forms the backbone of program alliances, with the ‘pain-gain share’ regime acting as an incentive to engender behaviours that foster teamwork and trusting relationships to flourish. While dialogue within and between parties i…

Benefits Realization Management of Computer Vision in Construction: A Missed, Yet Not Lost, Opportunity Open
There have been many studies examining computer vision-enabled research in construction. They use an array of algorithms to recognize ‘objects’ in images and videos to classify, segment or verify information based on generic databases. The…

The social organization of errors and the manifestation of rework: learning from narratives of practice Open
Despite the considerable amount of research that has examined rework causation in construction, it remains an inherent problem that can potentially result in adverse project outcomes. This situation has arisen as studies have tended to ign…
