In this thesis, a national information technology (IT) strategy applicable to Turkish construction industry for future implementation of IT is developed, advising guidance to current and future stakeholders but also researchers and decision makers to set the right priorities and pre-harmonization for IT in construction. Within this study, the present situation of the industry is discussed, so as to structure today̕s required industry abilities fulfilling tomorrow̕s demands and innovative IT solutions. Then, a coherent vision is developed for agile, model-based, knowledge driven Turkish construction industry. Following the analysis of IT trends and opportunities, a national IT strategy framework for the industry is specified. Finally; other country applications are examined to give direction for the developed strategy implementation approach.

Corruption and internal fraud in Turkish construction industry
Önder, Oytun; Gündüz, Murat; Department of Civil Engineering (2011)
The purpose of this thesis is to develop an understanding about internal fraud and corruption problem in Turkish construction industry. During the research, the reasons behind the internal fraud and corruption problem, types of internal fraud and prevention methods for internal fraud and corruption were investigated and various recommendations were developed. Moreover, fraud risk awareness questionnaire was implemented to understand the likelihood occurrence of internal fraud types in construction sector an...
Awareness of the Turkish construction industry towards industry 4.0 technologies and concepts
Ebrahimi, Shima; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Department of Civil Engineering (2019)
The Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry is a well-known latecomer to the effectiveness proposed by embracing of Industry 4.0 technologies; while other sectors embrace digitization and Information Communication Technologies (ICT) as an innovative strategy for maintaining economic profit and efficiency. In spite of the potential benefits that proposed by Industry 4.0, this revolution was not able to gain enough attention in the construction industry. Therefore, this study took initial st...
Development of a knowledge-based risk mapping tool for International Construction Projects
Yıldız, Açelya Ecem; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2012)
Due to its high-risk nature, international construction projects are more vulnerable to adverse changes in project environment and company objectives. To achieve successful project outcomes, early provision of risks has a vital place in managing construction projects. Within the literature, several risk assessment methodologies have been offered to simulate probable consequences of risks. The majority of the proposed methodologies are limited in reflection of real project conditions as they require probabil...
BIM-CAREM: a reference model for building information modelling capability assessment
Yılmaz, Gökçen; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Department of Information Systems (2017)
Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been implemented by various Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Facilities Management (AEC/FM) firms in various countries due to inefficiencies in traditional construction project management practices. AEC/FM organization require to gauge the effectiveness of their BIM implementations for measuring their performance and enabling continuous improvement in BIM usage. Therefore, various BIM capability and maturity models are developed to help organizations achie...
A Multi agent risk analysis and sharing platform for international construction projects
Dağkıran, Gülşah; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Department of Civil Engineering (2015)
The risks and complexities that are naturally inherent with construction projects and the diverging interests of the parties involved, cause deviations from the project objectives and make claims an unavoidable consequence in construction projects. Risk management is accepted as one of the critical success factors to handle the claim management process effectively. In construction management literature, while there are several studies to develop a mechanism for risk management, decision making and dispute r...
