The building construction projects include a variety of risk factors due to uncertainties. To succeed in the projects, it is important how risks are managed. Risk management is composed of identification, analysis and response. Especially, the risk analysis is important to objectively calculate significance of risk factors. This paper evaluates a method to find priorities of risks using the AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process). The method has some defects; (1) the consistency becomes weak as the number of pair-wise compared risks is large, and (2) the input and output procedures are complex when risks are added to or removed from a risk database. Thus the paper adopts the PROMETHEE(Preference Ranking Organization METHod Enrichment Evaluations) analysis process which is able to overcome the limitation of the AHP restricted to 9 risk factors. The PROMETHEE makes the procedure of risk analysis simple, when the risk factors pull out and put in the risk database. The purpose of this study is to provide process of risk analysis to use the PROMETHEE.

In scheduling multi-unit projects, several alternatives can exist in network construction due to repetitiveness of their activities. Project duration is affected not only by the duration of each activity but also by the arrangement of repeating activities in such projects. This paper provides a network compression method that assigns predecessors to each activity to minimize its float time. Different to the previous efforts that utilized line of balance as the base scheduling-model, this research adopts precedence diagram arranged in two coordinates, the space axis and the resource one. This method seeks the most appropriate predecessors for each activity in each direction of the two coordinates for the purpose of minimizing the idle resource and space. This activity arrangement method was applied to a multi-unit apartment-construction project, to prove its capability of network compression. The result shows that the method successfully sought room for saving construction duration by changing the activity arrangement. The network compression method presented in this research can be utilized in multi-unit construction projects such as apartment complex projects.

Time management is important in construction management Especially, in the high-rise apartment housing projects, it is very important to expedite the construction progress in order to meet the planned schedule. The objective of this paper is to propose the baseline for the progress rate using work volume and man $\cdot$ hours performed at work activity level. The work volume far each activity is transformed to the weighted value compared to total work volume for the floor Therefore, a progress rate for an activity is calculated by multiplying a weighted value and work volume. A progress rate for a floor and a building can calculated in this manner, respectively.

Measuring and evaluating project progress and performance are the key element of the construction project success. Construction progress is typically measured quantitatively by evaluating cost and time allocated to the project deliverable, and thus properly integrating cost and time is essential to the project management. This research was performed to propose an alternative methodology to integrate the cost and time and provide a framework for the progress measurement. The researchers developed a typical work process for the cost and schedule planning and also developed an alternative cost-schedule integration method by using progress integration units (PIU). A discipline of a construction phase served as a common level for WBS and CBS integration, so the PIUs'were defined under discipline. A case study project was selected to validate the developed methodology. The result showed the proposed method improved efficiency of cost and time integration. The result also showed the excluding material for the progress measurement purpose significantly reduced the bias of progress measurement.

Construction accidents are very serious comparing to its workers. These kind of accidents consist in the particularity of construction. The accident prevention task in construction requires both into immediate approach and longer range approach of instruction, training and education. Information concerning each individual accident, if the information of investigation has been done well, it provides information of prevention accident. At this point, this paper by examining 800 cases of serious accident researched by the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency from Jan. 1992 to Dec. 2000 specifically targeting apartment and building construction develops the construction information system to suggest the proper information of construction safety.
