The brand value of apartment which affects not only sale percent and profit but also the worth of real estate is rising as an important point of apartment competition. But now the apartment brand market is occupied by some large-sized construction companies with strong recognition. So it's difficult for newly joined construction companies to enter the apartment market and the companies that made inroads into the market don't have the brand effects because of consumers' ignorance. Therefore, through the analysis of example from construction and industrial companies, I suggest the marketing strategy which consists of target market, positioning strategy, brand naming strategy, PR strategy and distinct strategy.

The construction industry has complicated production processes with diverse disciplines and subcontractors, which is the major cause of lowered productivity. To solve this problem, multi-trade subcontract system is recently suggested. Some general construction companies have applied this method to some sections of work process. However, this is in the early stage of application. The purpose of this study is to define an integrated contract package for improving both contractor and subcontractor efficiency. First, this study recognizes construction company to need of multi-trade subcontract system. Finally, it suggests feasible activities which can be useful for a construction company to apply to this subcontract system.

Defects caused by apartment houses have the term of warranty liability according to the enforcement ordinance of Acts of the Management of Apartment Houses. In case when defects occur during the term, free defect maintenance can be provided from the construction company. Yet, there occur conflicts between the construction company and residents, as to whether there occur defects or not. To resolve these conflicts, this study aimed to analyze construction classification and types that need managing, based on defects of apartment houses occurring during the term of warranty liability. This research analyzed 138,576 cases of data, as of five apartment house complexes. For the construction classification for defects of apartment houses, wooden flooring products accounted for the highest rate, followed by paper hanging, and wooden window. For the construction types of defects, torn/scratching took up with the highest rate, followed by the condition of defect in fixing and operating. In order to embody defects occurring during the term of warranty liability, into the visualization technique, this researcher utilized the word cloud method. This study will pursue the method for maintaining defects during the term of warranty liability, in the subsequent research, using the data that this research presented.

Since 1990s, many companies or enterprises have been interested in Career Development or Career Management of Personnel in Korea. In the result of those interesting, some companies developed or built a program or computer system on Career Development or Career Management for their personnel. But their systems or programs are just the level to mange what kind of on-the-job training taken, ones experience where he or she worked, one who has a certificate of qualification ring a position and etc. This is not fit the field of construction industry and is not sufficient to mange workers at a construction company and their career. Because a construction project success depends on ones ability including know-how, skill and experience and these dependence is higher than any other industry's projects. The level of management on the career of construction company's personnel should be lower and expended than now and the career management of a construction company should include individual experience and personal history(period attained a project or a work, what kind of project or work, and etc)attained in performing each construction project and show ones career development process to each person. This system gives participants a chance to educate oneself and evaluate the level of ones training by showing individual records to each member of staff. And the company gains the advantage of the staffs ability to easily solve problems as well as the improvement of the organizations capabilities.

The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between the degree of business diversification of a construction company and two of the indicators that represent financial stability, namely, a current ratio and a debt ratio, in order to draw policy implications. The current ratio and the debt ratio were used as variables that represent financial stability of a construction company. Berry-Herfindahl Index was used to measure the degree of business portfolio diversification of a construction company. For the analysis, quarterly time series data were retrieved from the financial information disclosure system of Korea's Financial Supervisory Service for the period between the first quarter of 2001 and the third quarter of 2013. The analysis results showed that a higher current ratio and a debt ratio led to a greater extent of business diversification. A higher level of business diversification led to a higher current ratio and a lower debt ratio. It was also shown that the impact of business diversification on the current ratio and the debt ratio outweighed the impact of changes in the current ratio and the debt ratio on business diversification. Meanwhile, an increase in the level of business diversification showed a quite positive effect as it raised the current ratio and lowered the debt ratio of a construction company. These findings suggest that diversification of business portfolio is essential for construction companies to strengthen their financial stability.

Recently, as smart construction has become more active, construction companys are evaluating their smart construction capabilities in order to transform into smart construction companies. However, the revitalization of smart construction doesn't only apply to construction companies, the level of utilization of all participants, including owners, designers, construction project managers, and construction company, must be improved. Therefore, this study aims to present a model that evaluate the building information modeling (BIM) utilization level for measuring the BIM utilization level of construction management companies in executing construction project management. In this study, an AHP questionnaire survey targeting BIM practitioners to calculate the weight of each BIM utilization item and score it to construct evaluation model and evaluate it by applying it to construction management companies are conducted. As a result of the evaluation using model, there were differences between companies in the number of BIM users, and in the qualitative evaluation, it is mainly used for interference review, constructability review, and design change management. Therefore, in order to revitalize BIM, it is believed that it is necessary to strengthen BIM utilization ability through separate training for construction manager (CMr) and to present clear utilization standards and scope of work for BIM utilization in performing construction management tasks. Consequently, evaluating more construction management companies using the model presented in this study will result in the transition of CM companies to smart construction and revitalization of BIM adoption.

In this study, an overall survey of ERP system and methodology are first introduced, then an efficient way of const겨cting ERP system is suggested through a case study on S company S company has not reached the goal of ERP system as it planned and is still working on the project. The main idea for the efficient construction methodology of ERP system is that BPR (Business Process Reengineering) should be accomplished and the company should have enough time to test the ERP package and a proper ERP team organization before the ERP system is introduced. It is suggested that introduction of ERP system bring about benefits to companies in terms of effective management system.
