For deciding the profitability and feasibility of the construction project, the schematic estimation has to not only link the design decision-making but also estimate the cost with reliability. The prototype-based schematic estimation system was developed for easily linking with design-making and supports to evaluate the design alternatives in the design development stage but didn't consider the cost estimated by parameter and additional work items by users. This research presents the object-parameter based schematic estimation model in the design development stage that can lead to accurately estimate the cost by using historical data from the high-storied office buildings. For the development of the proposed model for schematic estimation, after analyzing and classifying the work items from the Bills of Quantities(BOQs) and drawings of historical data, this research proposed the methods of estimating cost in accordance with attributes of each work item. In addition, a case study is performed for the effectiveness as comparing the previous estimating method with the proposed model.

Legislated in 1988, the Occupational Safety and Health Expenses Criteria, has been giving a positive impact on improving the safety of construction sites. Previous researchers have been insisting that the rate is not enough to ensure the safety and health of the construction site. However, according to Korea Gallup's survey of more than 1000 construction sites in 2012, the respondents replied that large number of them did not comply with the criteria of the Occupational Safety and Health Expenses. This study analyses the completed works cost statistics of construction projects to figure out the compliance rate of the criteria. This study confirmed that the compliance rates are substantially low in most types of clients and the result is expected to be used in future research on appropriate safety and health expenses rate and on improving compliance rate of the criteria.

Total conceptual cost estimates and the assessment of the reliability of these estimates are critical in the early stages of a building construction project. The purpose of this study is to propose the method to clients or estimators for improving the reliability of conceptual cost estimates by evaluating the reliability of conceptual cost estimates. The data from 83 building construction projects were collected for this study. The results showed that the proposed method can propose alternatives to clients or estimators for improving the reliability of conceptual cost estimates with the process of evaluation, review and feedback. This process can assist clients in their evaluation of the reliability of the estimated cost and the probability of exceeding the target cost, and in their re-estimation after dealing with the elements that influence the conceptual cost estimate badly.

The main goal of construction projects from the past has been enhancing efficiency by reducing cost and time. Compared to this, it is true that for a long time not much attention was paid to safety management. For this reason, safety management is much behind cost and time management but nevertheless, not much improvement has been made. The current safety management is only focused on managing after an occurrence based on knowledge like safety standards and rules. Even though safety accident is reducing in domestic construction projects, the extent of a accident is getting greater because construction projects are getting more complex and sophisticated. Moreover, the actual loss due to accident is increasing and the severeness of a hazard is getting worse. Therefore, to improve the current conditions of safety management, we propose a more effective safety management program. This program is a safety managing method using virtual reality. Property, entity, safety library is applied and finally, aims to continuously manage and prevent rather than deal with an accident/disaster after it happens.

The purpose of this study is to analyze maintenance costs and estimation of elemental costs for educational buildings. The adapted research method selected four school buildings in seoul region as BTL projects. On the basis of the selected case, the study suggested a model to establish a system for each parts and estimate analyzed construction costs and maintenance costs according to that system. According to the analysis, the study proposed a partial construction costs analysis table and maintenance costs table and analyzed proper construction costs and maintenances costs. The results of this study are as follows 1) The average ratio followed by calculation of partial construction costs of the four school buildings are as followings. The total construction costs is analysed 6,666million won and each part of average rations is structure 47.15%, exterior of building 8.34%, interior of building 23.37%, electricity & fire fighting facility 5.74%, water supply & healthy facility 4.27%, heating & water supply facility 5.25%, landscape 1.36%, civil engineering works 4.51%. 2)The average ratio followed by analysis of partial maintenance costs of the four school buildings are as followings. The total maintenance costs is analysed 4,309 million won and each part of average ratio is exterior of building 11.02%, interior of building 41.81%, electricity & fire fighting facility 14.81%, water supply & healthy facility 11.22%, heating & water supply facility 12.76%, landscape 5.75%, civil engineering works 2.63%.

Due to the increase of size and complexity of construction project, the frequency of serious accidents in construction industry has been increased. Especially, the proportion of accidents in formwork of building construction site is very high, and many previous studies have been conducted to preventing them in the viewpoint of the diverse approaches. However, their effectiveness on accidents prevention was poor, and as a result, it is limited to consider the potential risks because many workers and managers tend not to be concerned with unsafe factors in formwork. Therefore, in this study, a realistic and proactive way for analyzing these potential risks was proposed in the manner of quantitatively assessing the potentials resulted from the unsafe factors in formwork. To verify the applicability of the proposed methodology, group survey was carried out, and the results were compared with those of the traditional importance-performance analysis(hereafter IPA) technique. Through the use of the proposed methodology, unsafe factors that were not found in the IPA but have potential risk were identified. Eventually, this study is expected to contribute to the proactive prevention of construction serious disaster accidents in formwork by enabling a more efficient management.

Recently, construction projects have emerged in the form of program management, which is complicated by the large-scale of construction, and requires astronomical construction costs. In particular, projects that absolutely require management at the program level, such as large-scale construction projects, require overall control of the planned schedule and cost as a set of various projects, including infrastructure. But in Korea, there is no specific management standard for delays in construction. In order to avoid the risk of cost increase and project delay in the program-level construction project, it is necessary to apply more systematic management standards to prevent delay and to take a more preemptive response in the construction process. Therefore, in this study, a delay management index (DMI) was developed to successfully carry out large-scale construction projects at the program level and prevent delays in advance. In addition, case studies were conducted for large-scale construction projects, and a delay prevention system was established for program-level construction projects.

Project delay is one of the most crucial impact factors in the construction process from a schedule and cost management perspective. This study focused on analyzing the causes of concrete frame work delay in the apartment construction project. According to the analysis of project cost composition, the direct cost of concrete works was highest in most samples. Actual delays of concrete works were analyzed for the six different construction components. Causes of delay were grouped into two categories; preconstruction and construction phases and these two groups were further divided into sub-groups. Analysis results revealed that the most significant delay was occurred in the 1st. floor concrete skeleton work. For each delay factor, implications of delay as well as suggestion(s) for reducing the possibility of schedule delay are provided.

The government wants to apply the construction cost estimating method based on historical data published in the first six months of 2004. Construction companies, however, require the proposed cost estimation model, to be improved which makes it difficult to predict a reasonable construction costs. This paper presents an improved historical data selection model after analyzing the problem of previous method throughout comparing contracted unit prices of reinforced concrete works selected by the previous model to market prices. The model which can select more feasible data would assist participates such as general contractors and sub-contractors to earn a proper profits.
