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 construction site, BIM is used in part of construct-ability review and design mistake checking. However, in a current domestic construction site, except public order project, most of work in private order project has been processing based on 2D work. As an expert resists to certain point in introduction of new technique, it may be shown in the introduction of BIM. For this, We need to analysis construct-ability of introducing BIM, work field of introducing and operational capability about present domestic construction engineers. Therefore, this study solves the problem of existing construct-ability analysis, and it visualizes the various information and objects for an effective job performance. Furthermore, construct-ability analysis by BIM that can use an intergrated management is theoretically examined and practical field-application priority among conclusions is proposed through a survey targeting on the hand-on worker. Therefore, this study suggests a factor supplying for a business-centric introduction plan and support condition.

The purpose of this study is to provide a domestic applicable modular building construction process by benchmarking international best practices. In this study, we derive the risk factors that may occur in performing a modular construction projects and the modular construction management factors through case analysis. In order to effectively respond to risks in performing a modular building projects, we propose the modular building construction process which is separated by a transportation, lifting, assembly steps based on the unit module construction sequence. It is the key to providing management information and guidelines for the design, production, construction participants by reflecting the information for each step in the process. This study would prevent a potential hazard which may occur in the construction process. Consequently, It could result in saving the entire cost of modular construction project as shortening the project schedule and could improve workability of modular construction.

Although pilot projects have been actively carried out from 2017 to present to institutionalize CM at Risk, one of the major tasks for innovation in the construction industry, standards and processes related to Design VE, a key tool for determining GMP in the pre-construction phase, have not yet been established. Therefore, through research and operation status related to CM at Risk and Design VE, and survey on project participants' perception, the problem of the existing design VE process was derived, and the design VE process suitable for the CM at Risk project was proposed. The application plan was proposed in three aspects: Schedule, Cycle, and Process, and the appropriateness and applicability were verified through FGI. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic data on the establishment and legislation of order standards to be made in the future.

The design with construction knowledge and experience can eliminate inefficiency in the process of construction and improve productivity in all phase of construction project. To utilize constructability knowledge most effectively in design phase, the information must be made available to the design team at the proper point in time. Current methods for effective utilization of constructability knowledge have focused on the structuralization of constructability knowledge such as checklist, which lack the consideration of the proper point in time. However, constructability knowledge which is used at the inapposite point in time consequently leads to unnecessary rework. To minimize this inefficiency and improve productivity, project manager needs to consider the design process and know what constructability knowledge is required for specific design activities. This paper therefore presents a design process management using Dependency Structure Matrix (DSM) that focus on information flows between design activities and constructability knowledge. We expect that the results of this paper will support that design process management become comprehensive management related to every phase of construction project beyond design review or inspection in design phase, and be used as a basis of the integration of design and construction.

Public institutions and owners have been introduced to Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools. BIM has become an important factor in the design process in undergrad programs. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the improvement of the architectural engineering design process through an analysis of BIM courses. BIM education courses are analyzed to compare the level of detail in BIM education. An architectural engineering design class needs to involve BIM in the introduction of an integrated design process. An architectural engineering design process needs to be based on understanding design, building structures, construction and building services. 3D Modeling helps support an understanding of building structure and eco-friendly element analysis. The new process of architectural engineering design education is proposed as a result of this research.

Nowadays the widely used media in architecture include visualizations, animations and three-dimensional models. 3D digital methods using active CAM(Computer Aided Manufacturing) and CNC(Computerized Numerical Control) imaging have been developed for accurate shape and 3D measurements in freeform buildings. In contrast to a conventional building using auto CAD system and others, the proposed digital optimization method is based on a combination of 3D numerical data and parametric 3D model for design and construction. The objective of this paper is therefore to present digital optimization process for constructability of freeform building. The method can be useful in the effective implementation of an error-proofing process of freeform building during design and construction phase. 3D digital coordinate data can be used effectively to identify correct size of structural and finish members and installation location of each members in construction field. In addition, architects, engineers and contractors can evaluate design, materials, constructability and identify error-proofing opportunities. Other project participants can also include representatives from all levels of management, departments as well as workers and key subcontractors' personnel, if necessary. The 3D digital optimization process is therefore appropriate to serious variations in freeform shape. For future study, the developed digital optimization method is necessary to be carried out to verify the robustness and accuracy for constructability in construction field.
