This thesis aims to analyse the development of construction contractorship in early Republican Turkey and investigates its role on the building construction of the period by focusing on the production processes of public buildings. In the first chapter after introduction, the building construction of the period will be examined with all its sides. In this framework, the main actors of the processes and different construction production types will explained, and the legal framework, especially the tender laws defining the rules of construction works, will be investigated. In the next chapter, the development process of contractorship in this period will be examined, contractorship in general and construction contractorship in special will be evaluated with all its sides. In this context, the definition of contractorship as a profession will firstly be made, then the developments related to contractorship in Ottoman period and the issues such as reciprocal relationships with economy, laws and rules determining the application of contractorship, and construction material v and techniques, will be emphasized. In the last part, the characteristics of contractors and contractorship services of the period will be asserted. In the following two chapters, early Republican period public construction contractorship and the contractors of public buildings as the most frequently realized constructions, will be examined. In this framework, the types of construction contractorship will previously be investigated; then the role and function of state as the most efficient actor, will be discussed; and the construction contractors of the period will be classified according to their professional formations and asserted together with the public buildings they constructed. In the last part, the development of construction contractorship in 1950s will be reviewed so as to understand how construction contractorship progressed in the following period. In the conclusion, a comprehensive analysis of the examined processes will be undertaken in order to evaluate the development and role of construction contractorship in early Republican period especially in relation to public building constructions.

Risk assessment of international construction projects using the analytic network process Bu-Qammaz, Amani Suliman; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2007) This thesis offers a comprehensive risk assessment methodology that provides a decision support tool, directed for Turkish construction organizations, which can be utilized through the bidding decisions for international construction projects. Within this context the analytic network process technique is implemented to develop a risk assessment model, which is used to derive the relative priorities of the risk factors associated with international construction projects. The findings of the risk assessment m...
The Conservation principles for the brick and tile factories in Eskişehir Tülce, Ayten Hüma; Özgönül, Nimet; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2012) The aim of this thesis is to develop conservation principles for the brick and tile industry in Eskişehir, one of the symbolic industrial cities in Turkey where brick and tile has been the significant production from the Early Republic Period. The conservation of these structures, complexes and mechanical elements is a controversial issue owing to their physical, economical, social and administrative values. The principles how to conserve and why is searched through discussions on conservation approaches, d...
Construction techniques of traditional Sivrihisar houses Pehlivan, Ezgi; Özgönül, Nimet; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2020) The aim of this thesis is to investigate and document the construction techniques of the traditional houses in Sivrihisar and to create a reliable and comprehensive information about construction techniques specific to the region. For this purpose, firstly literature review was done about conservation, the importance of authenticity and documentation, and about traditional houses in Turkey. In addition, literature and archive researches were done on the history and general characteristics of Sivrihisar, con...
An investigation of legal aspects of BIM in construction contracts Kaya, Fatih; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (null; 2019-04-17) Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been adopted worldwide in recent years as a novel way of working that enables efficiency in the construction industry. Lately, numerous countries made it compulsory to utilize BIM in public construction projects. Similarly, BIM became a contractual requirement in some public infrastructure and Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) projects in Turkey. However, in order to benefit from the advantages of BIM, some legal concerns such as intellectual property, liability, legal val...
The development of a building energy performance evaluation program (EnAd) for architectural design process Çakıcı, Fatma Zehra; Sorguç, Arzu; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2013) Energy performance in buildings has become one of the most broadly debated subjects in contemporary architecture; and current legislation has emphasized its importance by requiring buildings to possess an energy performance certificate. Due to the technological advances in computational tools, it is possible to analyze the energy performance of buildings before construction starts; however most energy performance evaluation tools, requiring complex solid models and high technical knowledge in the field, can...
