This study was conducted to present the improvement in professional perception among construction workers engaged in domestic construction sites by analyzing the reality of their professional perception. The results are as follows: First, with regard to professional perception of the construction industry, managerial workers made their positive reply to items regarding construction and construction workers but had their negative attitude towards construction as a job and as a recommendable job for others; whereas production workers showed their negative reply to all the items. Second, with respect to factors for construction being firmly regarded as an 3D industry, managerial workers selected 'long working hours' and production workers replied with 'low wages and income insecurity.' Third, as for improvement activities for professional perception of construction, most of construction workers simply knew about activities being performed but expressed their intention to participate in the activities.

With the recent advancement of the construction industry, interest in it is growing as the accident rate in the construction industry continues to increase due to the enlargement and complexity of the construction scale. These social issues are focused on the safety of construction work, and research on construction industrial accidents is continuously being conducted, but research on measures to reduce construction industrial accidents is surprisingly insufficient. Therefore, in this study, research on reduction measures to increase the safety of construction industrial accidents conducted for 5 years from 2017 to 2021 is investigated and compared, and it is intended to be used as basic data for future construction industrial accident reduction measures.

The domestic construction industry have focus on duration than construction cost. But recently it have interesting to The domestic construction industry, social requirement is changing. At the moderate speed duration has other angle of reducing cost and management of efficiency. specially Apartment building construction process is similar to other construction industry so it Is obtain a strong Point. This study on, A Target of construction industry is short duration than other it, general construction duration in summary schedule of level is studied, is based and construction duration for the point it is indicated reduction duration

Improving productivity in industries is a very critical issue, and improving labor productivity is especially important in construction industry, which is a labor-intensive industry. However, researches on labor productivity in construction industry are insufficient, and most of previous studies have limitations in terms of specificity and logic. In this study, fuzzy DEMATEL method was used to structural analyze of influence factors for labor productivity in construction industry based on previous researches and expert survey. The result of this study contributes to deriving priorities for improving labor productivity.

This study compared the labor productivity of the construction industry to the manufacturing and service industries. In addition, It analyzed the construction labor productivity gap of the G7 countries based on data from the Korean Productivity Center. A comparative analysis of construction labor productivity between manufacturing and service industries, based on statistics from the National Statistical Office, revealed a relatively low level and trend of continued decline. In addition, a comparative analysis of the productivity of construction workers in the major G7 countries found that the difference in productivity is very large, with an average of 65.3 %. Therefore, domestic construction companies and the government should prepare Improvement measures to improve productivity by investing in technology development to increase labor productivity and improving the production system of the construction industry.

Korean construction industry has developed with national economy growth for a couple of decades. However, because of slump of real estate, the domestic construction industry was intimidated. In this situation, many construction company has no choice but to go abroad to find construction projects. However, almost small or medium-sized construction companies are very hard to operate their business because they have small funding ability and weak labor power. Therefore, this study aims to propose an assessment tool through analyzing risk factors of overseas construction projects for small or medium-sized companies by examining preceding research and interviewing industry experts. Weights of the risk factors are determined through the surveys of the industry practitioners. All of the data is configured into the assessment tool and this converts the quantitative information which leads to the optimal of strategies choice. This paper provides a quantitative measurement of possible performance and detailed assessment of each itemized risk factors. This assessment tool is qualified for industry experts so that it can safely be applied to the future projects. Ultimately, many small or medium sized construction companies will benefit from the tool proposed in this study to examine the potential of the overseas market expansion.

In Korea, the construction industry has been growing quantitatively because of its aggressive advances into overseas construction market and the Korean government's housing policy. Moreover, visions and goals such as 'construction industry promotion build up plan' have recently been promoted by the government while new strategic growth focused on competitiveness is gaining interests among the industry. However, there are a few problems in the construction performance. First, the specific performance measurement indicator or skills for the construction industry are hardly found in Korea. Currently, the finance or overall management system in the construction business are used as indicators to measure performances in not only the construction industry but all industries including the manufacturing industry. The government, the industry and universities recognized the need for the performance measurement indicator and skill and have developed and actively studied on them.

There are many participants in the construction industry compare to other industry, and its productivity is lower than other industry. Therefore this study has understood that BIM (Building Information Modeling) may contribute to the improvement in the productivity at construction sites, and I wish to suggest a BIM application process suitable for the construction industry, To achieve such goal, this study has examined the theory of BIM and has extracted the subjects to be improved through the analysis of the existing construction process, and has suggested the BIM application process to resolve issues of improvement. And to evaluate the application of the improved process, a case study was conducted with the application of commercialized BIM related software. The possibility of application of BIM model in the construction industry, and its influence and the subjects to be resolved, with the application of BIM in Korea, were able to be confirmed. I wish this study may contribute to the application of BIM in the Korean construction industry.

Compared to the other industries, construction industry depends many parts of production activities on manpower. And also 3D perception on construction industry and the shortage of motivation in construction workers are the biggest reason to reduce construction productivity. So to solve this problem, the research of factors which affect more to improve the construction workers attitude in construction site will be needed. This research has investigated that the productivity and important factors was divided to economic factors, social factors, psychological factors. The result show that economic factors remain pre-eminent in influencing productivity, but that social factors and psychological factors appear to be of increasing importance in this construction industry.
