The Construction industry has been dealing with much trouble due to global economic recession and domestic political trends emphasizing on welfare than development. Consequently, domestic construction market has been dramatically shrunk during the last a few years, and international market has become the only potential solution for the industry. However, there has been lack of efforts in developing a quantified measure of global competencies for Korean engineering and construction organizations. This study attempted to develop quantified indices for Korean engineering and construction contractors with which the level of global construction competencies can be objectively monitored. In doing so, a survey questionnaire was developed to identify relative importances of core competency elements which were derived from extensive literature reviews and experts interviews. AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) was employed as a main analysis method in developing quantification measures. The analysis results reveal little differences in competency requirements between engineering and construction firms and it implies that the global market becomes more integrated and requires a total solution for a construction project. The developed core competency measures can be used to quantify the level of preparedness of Korean engineering and construction firms at the time of evaluation and also be used as a basis for performance benchmarking indicators if they are compared with business showings.

This study analyzed and summarized claims that took place during the past three years in the Korean construction-bonds market. Specifically, this study first examined the trend of construction-bonds claims. Second, the claims categorized according to the types of projects, suretyships, duration of settlement, amount of repayment and so on. Finally, based upon the analyzed results several suggestions, which will improve the efficiency of construction claim process, were provided.

최근 건설산업은 해외건설 수주액 증가에 따른 외형성장은 이루었으나, 시공분야에 집중되고, 고부가가치 영역인 건설ENG 분야의 해외시장 점유율 및 경쟁력은 극히 낮은 수준이다. 또한 대형 건설ENG 업체와 중 소형 건설ENG 업체 간에 건설수주액을 비롯하여 기술경쟁력에서의 양극화가 심화되고 있다. 특히 기존 건설ENG 관련 정보시스템은 설계 시방기준 등 단순 자료축적을 통한 정보제공이 대부분이며, 실제 건설ENG 업계에서 필요로 하는 정보제공 및 지원이 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 건설ENG 업계가 실제 필요로 하는 건설기술지식정보에 대한 공유 체계의 마련을 통해 건설ENG 분야의 기술력 향상을 지원하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 발주청과 건설ENG 업체 사용자 간에 직접 필요한 정보의 요청 및 제공 등 노하우를 상호 교환 공유할 수 있도록 시스템 구축과 운영 방안을 제시하였다. 이를 통해 유사 건설사업의 수행 시 신속한 정보제공을 통한 업무처리시간의 단축으로 업무효율성이 증대되리라 예상된다.

Since Lean Construction has been introduced in 1992, much research is in progress to popularize lean concepts and principles. Most research focuses on developing lean concepts and tools and strengthening the limited domain of instrumental rationality and technical efficiency. However, the basic concepts of human resource management seem to be ignored by those who advocate lean production. Thus, the lean construction research related to human resource management must be once considered for popularization and activation of lean construction at the beginning stage in the domestic construction industry. Because human resources have a major influence on lean implementation and its success, especially at the beginning stage of lean construction. This paper considers the human resource requirements for the implementation of lean construction in the USA construction industry. The results from the study will provide the foundations to adapt lean construction into the domestic construction industry. Consequently, the study found that lean construction could improve the capability of human resource and human motivation if effectively implemented in the construction sites. Since lean construction emphasizes and focuses on improvement of relationships among project participants, constant application to human resource management is crucial for successful lean implementation.

The Computerizing Record Management System(RMS) has been developed for ULJIN Nuclear Power Plant in Korea on the basis of the Manual System. By means of review and analysis of processing flow & project requirements, system logics such as Receiving system, Logging system, Distribution system, Filing system, Indexing & Retrieval system and Output system of statistic and various reports, have been established for computerizing. Structure of Masterfile has been designed so as to include Bibliographic data, Transmittal data, Distribution data, Area data, RMS data for operation of Plant. The RMS data have been designed for construction and operation of the plant by adding index parameters for operation such as System code, KEPCO No., Component link code and Retention period on the point of receiving. The RMS has turned out an easy access to cross-reference between RMS and Material Control System.

The domestic construction industry need to do productivity improvement through technology development than improvement of manpower control or system and develop competitive power through technology in international construction market. Upon this, government for elevation of technological level enacts and operates the advanced construction technology endorsement system but is not looking at effect as that the actual use-results also expected first. Therefore, in this paper, present improvement and direction for activation plan of construction new technology development through comparison with other connection system, literature investigation and questionnaire after grasp present condition of the advanced construction technology endorsement system with specialty construction company as the central figure which occupy most of appointed new technology.

Generally, integrated information of construction project is managed by government. However, homepage cases for operating each construction project by government are still unusual in the construction site. This study introduces a case study of construction project homepage for the integrated project information, and then suggests an improved functions that need in homepage for using construction information in common in local area. The homepage used in the study is operated by Gyeongsangnam-do. The results can be used as improved contents of construction project homepage by local government.

Although waste management in construction industry has a significant impact on both economical and environmental issues, the current level of waste management performance in Korean construction is reported as relatively low. In this context, this study aimed to suggest the considerations for the improved construction waste management guideline, which leads to the effective waste management on a construction site. In order to reach this goal, the existing domestic construction waste management guidelines were analyzed based on the criteria of the environmental management procedure of ISO 14001. These considerations were described in three aspects such as "planning", "implementation and operation", and "checking and corrective actions".
