Project Descriptions:
Enhancing Project Completion
Outstanding management practices and quality oriented cultural attitudes result in zero defect completion on projects. For the past few months this study has been developing performance measurement and decision support tools that will help companies achieve these management objectives.
Improved performance will enable contractors to reduce overheads and rework costs, focus on quality and customer service, enhance relationships with clients and consultants, and improve their international competitiveness.
Lead researchers: Marton Marosszeky , Denny McGeorge .

Maximising Benefits from using Construction IT - Identifying Impediments & Coping Strategies
The project is to develop a benchmarking process for IT utilisation in all phases of the construction and procurement process, and generate a more universal acceptance of IT in the construction industry.
The project aims to identify the impediments in the application of IT and then propose strategies to encourage a more effective and widespread adoption of IT applications.

Waste Minimisation in Commercial Construction
Based on research which characterised the main waste streams in commercial construction, and investigated the causes and magnitudes of these streams, guidelines have been published to assist contractors in adopting strategies for minimisation of construction waste.
These guidelines are complimented by a handbook for training of construction supervisors, a necessary element for successful implementation of waste minimisation initiatives. This work was funded by the NSW Waste Reduction Grants Program.

Training Package for Construction Workers
This project, carried out in association with Thiess Contractors and the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union, investigated behavioural impediments towards waste minimisation on construction sites.
The outcome was a training package for construction workers, comprising a video and associated resource materials, which have been used by many firms.

Optimisation of hoist scheduling in high-rise construction
This project was jointly funded by Multiplex NSW Ltd and the ACCI research program, and developed basic rules for the scheduling of hoists in high-rise construction to minimise time lost due to vertical travel.
