Efficiency of the construction process is one of the most important factors to project success. However efficiency is not well defined or measured in construction projects in general. More importantly, efficiency of the construction should be viewed through the life-cycle of the whole production system not in a single phase of the construction process. Therefore, this study defines the concept of efficiency and suggests the efficiency measurement model in construction. As a case study, the suggested model was applied to the curtain wall construction process of the high rise buildings as well.

As construction projects have been extremely enormous, complex and special, risk factors have been increased consistently. Therefore, it is very important to identify and cope with the uncertain risk factors in such building constructions for successful project accomplishment. The purpose of this research is to approach practical affairs directly and show detail alternatives of risk factors by extracting the risk factors throughout construction process of curtain wall that is largely influenced on cost, quality, schedule ,safety and following activity. Also, extracting these risk factors make it possible to analyze quantitative risk and decide the priority raking of risk factors. Especially, this research is aimed to provide efficient management of scheduling risk that can make the risk minimize to practical workers who have different degree of knowledge and experience to the construction cite when the risk brings out suddenly.

The most design criteria and specifications in Korea utilized to ensure appropriate quality are based on process and prescriptive criteria determining materials, measure and methods. It has many problems including a loss of competitiveness resulting from inhibited creativity of the contractors. The performance-based specifications focused on final product are being proposed, but have difficulty in adapting to the architectural field. In this study the hybrid specification prototype for curtain wall construction was suggested. The specification framework was presented through analysis of linkage between the performance and prescriptive specification cases. Based on the survey with practitioners, the performance inspection process and the sample specification were developed by identifying the essential performance test timings. The applicability of the specification prototype was evaluated by interviews with experts. It was found that the prototype was active and a progressive supporting tool which could support to secure phased performance during construction as well as final performance.

The purpose of this study is to propose a modeling methodology through the exchange of coordinate data of a three-dimensional custom curtain wall panel between Rhino and Revit, and to examine the validity of the model implemented in the drawing. Although the modeling means and method are different, a fundamental principle is that all three-dimensional modeling begins by defining the position of the points, the most primitive element of geometry, in the XYZ coordinate space. For the BIM modeling methodology proposal based on this geometry basic concept, the functions and characteristics associated with the points of Rhino and Revit programs are identified, and then BIM implementation process model is organized and systemized through the setting of the interoperability process algorithm. The BIM implementation process model proposed in this study is (1) Modeling and panelizing surface into individual panels using Rhino and Grasshopper; (2) Extraction of vertex coordinate data from individual panels and create CSV file; (3) Curtain wall modeling through Adaptive Component Family in Revit and (4) Automatic creation of Revit curtain wall panels through API. The proposed process model is expected to help reduce design errors and improve component and construction quality by automatically converting general elements into architectural meaningful information, automating a set of processes that build them into BIM data, and enabling consistent and integrated design management.

There have been research and developments for effective and efficient logistics and progress management in a construction project. Among them, RFID+4D has been developed for the supply chain management of long-lead item materials such as steel component, precast concrete component and curtain wall by integrating RFID with 4D CAD. And the feasibility of RFID+4D has been verified and validated and the benefits in terms of time and cost were shown in several case studies. However, the previous development of RFID+4D has not been adapted widely because of additional modeling cost, non-real time data update, additional labor for data update, and so forth. Therefore, this research has proposed a framework and process for solving these problems. And the web based simulation system has been developed and verified based on the proposed framework. The proposed framework and process can improve the existing RFID+4D system in a construction project by saving its operation cost and utilizing project information more efficiently and effectively. Also it is expected that the proposed framework could be applied to a method transferring design RIM data to construction BIM data.

There are many problems in management of high-rise building construction performed in downtown area due to limited spaces and equipments for increasing kinds and quantities of material. By these restrictions, problems such as increase of construction cost. delay of construction period, decrease of productivity, occurrence of accident are caused. Recently, studies on JIT concept have focused on construction materials as a solution for the problems. But, studies about finishing material are insufficient yet. Accordingly, this study suggests flowing of current material management, JIT management effect, and development direction of lifting-up and procurement system with Low-emissivity double Glazing, among of main finishing materials.
