Current approaches to automating cost estimation mainly focus on construction costs. Yet,
the two main services provided by design firms, namely 'designing the project', and …

Reworks are unavoidable during the design and construction phases of construction
projects and significantly increase the time and cost required to complete projects. Several …

Purpose The need to improve sustainable construction with the appropriate technology
adoption in the fourth and fifth industrial revolutions cannot be overemphasized. This study …

The adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) is essential because it facilitates project
information, saves time and cost and reduces risks on construction sites. The objectives of …

Extant literature indicates that poor design documentation quality often results in
construction project inefficiency. However, there is less effort by researchers to identify and …

There are numerous studies on design documentation variables without efforts to evaluate
their level of importance. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the significance of …

Purpose The conventional project delivery (CPD) approach has been reported in the
literature as the most widely used project delivery method in the construction industry …

A meta-synthesis approach was used to identify, synthesize, and categorize appropriately
factors in the literature that contribute to design documentation quality. The categories …

Design change is a common but significant problem in construction projects. Issues of delay,
cost overruns, claims, and disputes in projects occur as a result. However, design change …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to identify specific enablers intrinsic to integrated
project delivery (IPD) that can be adapted into the conventional project delivery (CPD) …
