To reduce uncertainties and make rational plans, the presumption of contingency against a failure of projects and an occurrence of unpredictable risks is important with accurate estimations as the work progressing. Therefore, if the presumption of contingency reflecting uncertainties carries out at a decision making point of time, be able to prepare for risks. The purpose of this paper is to present a management process of contingency through the performance analysis of project. In the cost planning phase, this study offers a process which is predictable contingency and predicts the range of fluctuation of the cost, laking an advantage of EVM in construction phase. With reflecting the results from this procedure, this study presents a process, rationally manageable contingency.

The participants of steel works should exchange a variety of information with others through documents. However construction steel works in the multistage contract system has a difficulty in exchanging information through the documents promptly. So if the trouble as change orders arise, conducting steel works will take much time, and the participants may not discuss the trouble sufficiently. Consequently this study improved the current business process of steel works. And this developed business support system(XCOS) based on XML so that participants of steel works achieve a successful management of steel works through conducting business rapidly and correctly.

Demolition work is a precedence activity that is performed earlier than other remodeling activities. And demolition work is one of the critical path activities. So, demolition work is needed for systematic plan and management. However, contractors of the remodeling project established a rough plan and did not consider recycling wastes, safety of workers and structural stable of building. To improve this problem, a eco-friend process model of remodeling project is needed to be established. The process model is composed of five phases; 1) survey and analysis of general condition of demolition work, 2) prepare documents of demolition work 3) establishing demolition work plan, 4) demolition and inspection, 5) post-demolition management. Especially, demolition documents are based on establishing WBS, selecting the equipment and method, waste management and structure reinforcement. A process model of eco-friend demolition work is developed by using IDEF0 method.

This paper is to develop curtain wall process life-cycle system in high-rise buildings in order to establish effective cooperation communication channels among the diverse constituents. This paper is to provide a base toward a curtain wall life-cycle management system to support decision making and the effective flow in light of information and materials. The four objectives of the research are 1) the analysis of the current curtain wall life-cycle process, 2) the analysis and development of the curtain wall design process As-Is model, and 3) the Muda analysis of the design process As-Is model and the suggestion of the improvements, 4) the development of curtain wall design To-Be model and comparative analysis of the improvement in terms of value streams. This research indicates the wastes decrease (or the values increase) from 6.7% up to 100% in different decision criteria through the improvement by the comparative analysis between the As-ls and To-Be curtain wall design process. This research suggests the potential improvement by VSM and a curtain wall life-cycle management system in curtain wall construction for diverse constituents be significant.

All of the partner must manage continually scheduling for the successful project in construction. Besides, that is not a important only contracter's managing but also owner's managing which is a very important about project finishing in time. Especially, in the case of mega project, the owner has to manage progress of scheduling to control contractor. And the case of progress to delay or to change, owner, contractor, and inspector must make a plan of recovery scheduling. This study proposes a construction process model from IDEF Methodology.

A construction project is a complex process consisting of interdependent tasks. If one task has variation, other tasks will be affected additionally and it is difficult to reach consensus on task variation due to the characteristics of the construction site that is going on quickly and complicatedly. Therefore, this study identified the root cause of task variation in construction process. Adjacent matrix was created with the tasks corresponding to major causes of variation, and the network analysis was performed. The results of social network analysis in the construction process can stabilize the work flow in the complex process and improve the reliability of the process plan and the project performance.

In order to improve the performance of succeeding superstore construction projects, it is essential to find out an effective way for applying the opportunities of improvement on their repetitive construction process based upon the analysis of various success or failure cases occurred on previous similar projects. This research study suggests a way to improve their construction process through the applications of six sigma techniques on superstore construction projects. A literature review was implemented on the basic concept of six sigma and its general performance steps, and the step by step applications of six sigma techniques were accomplished regarding to the speciality of superstore construction projects. The opportunities of improvement for superstore projects were figured out, and the result of their applications on other superstore projects was analyzed. As a result, it was found that the adoption rate of identical success or failure cases was increased. Also, there were several improvement effects on the projects such as $10{\sim}20$ days of time savings by projects, decrease of reworks by preventing failure cases, quality and safety improvement. These results indicate that the six sigma techniques are applicable and valuable for improving the repetitive process of superstore construction projects.

Recently, a few major construction companies in Korea have a growing interests to the risk management system, and they are trying to apply it to their construction projects. However, the existing methodologies to be applied to the foreign public projects are not proper to the construction environments due to its adaptabilities, that has one time process and heavily depends on personal judgement. The purpose of this paper is to propose a risk response process in consideration of the residual risks, which would be more adaptable and practical in the construction environment, overcoming the current obstacles to be mentioned above. This process has systematic repeat process until the residual risks go down to the risk thresholds based on the efficiency of specific response strategy.

As higher and bigger buildings, steel structure is so for a basic building structure. Quality management of the steel frame work is started from pre plan phase. And classification and relation of works is very important in quality management. The purpose of this study is developing a quality management model for the better quality management in a steel frame work. This model consider a interrelationship of works and $input^{\circ}{\S}utput$ information, and based on the actual condition of current quality management.
