One of the major change efforts for the construction industry is lean construction. This thesis analyzes the practices of the construction companies in Turkey from the lean construction perspective. Prior to the analysis in question, requisite information about change in the construction industry, lean thinking and lean construction will be presented. A questionnaire, based on a lean construction model, is used to survey the practices and gather the data for the analysis. Various statistical analysis methods are performed on the gathered data to make inferences. According to these analyses, the lean construction characteristics of the construction companies will be discussed and the recommendations for improving the lean conformance of the construction companies will be presented.

An investigation into the implementation of construction automation and robotics technologies for construction waste management
Kılıçkan Öztürk, Sabire Melek; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Architecture (2022-8)
The construction industry is responsible for tons of construction waste. It is crucial to take the necessary precautions to avoid the impacts of construction waste on the environment. With the help of developments in automation technology and building information modeling systems, robotics in the construction industry is getting more common every day. It is argued that construction robots can be effective in the management of construction waste. This study aims first to understand the reasons for construct...
Development of an IT-based tool for portfolio assessment and management for construction companies
Bilgin, Gözde; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Özorhon Orakçal, Beliz; Department of Civil Engineering (2019)
Development in the construction industry has leaded most of the construction companies to undertake more complex projects than before, which are generally executed concurrently. Therefore, project management routines of the companies may not support effective management of multi-projects. Project portfolio management approach has been suggested to meet requirements for coordinating multi-projects to meet strategic objectives under limited resources. Since project portfolio management requires a comprehensiv...
Improving sub-contractor selection process in construction projects: Web-based sub-contractor evaluation system (WEBSES)
Arslan, Gokhan; Kivrak, Serkan; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Dikmen Toker, İrem (Elsevier BV, 2008-05-01)
One of the most important phases in the construction industry (CI) is the bidding process. During the bidding process, selecting the most appropriate sub-contractors (SCs) for the relevant sub-works is highly critical for the overall project performance. In order to select the most appropriate SCs for the project and prepare the most realistic and accurate bid proposal, general contractors (GCs) have to know all financial, technical and general information about these SCs. Within this context, GCs should co...
A Study on the price escalation system in public construction contracts in Turkey
Ercan, Muhammed; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2017)
The construction industry has a major role in the development of Turkish economy. The construction sector contributes 6-8 % of the gross domestic product of Turkey. At the same time, public investments comprise an important portion in the Turkish construction sector. Medium to large construction projects generally take over a year for completion and cost of materials and labor that are used as resources in construction projects often increase during implementation of construction projects. On the other hand...
An Investigation of building information modeling maturity in turkish small-medium size enterprises architectural and engineering firms
Sarı, Ramazan; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2017)
Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry experiences Building Information Modeling (BIM) transition process in all over the world. As the firms have advanced on BIM implementation, a necessity to benchmark the BIM performance has emerged. A couple of assessment tools were released for the sector to be used by organizations, individuals and governments to benchmark the BIM implementation maturity. The architecture and engineering firms in Turkey are also in the midst of BIM transition. Howev...
