The nature of construction projects is very iterative and there are various people involved from different disciplines and organizations in the process. Design stage is unique, complex and require combination and expertise of different people. The capture and reuse of design experience is considered as an efficient way to promote a better design process and efficient building solutions. The smallest part in a building is the space. It is a long-term asset of a building; therefore, a space knowledge management method is studied in this research. The innovative progression of technology, growth in population, changing models of medical care and changes in policies, services increase the necessity for changes in healthcare facilities. To cope with this, the study on standardized knowledge acquisition and knowledge re-use process for healthcare facilities is made. Surgery units have been chosen for this research since they are the most risk intensive spaces in healthcare facilities. The research on spaces in surgery units of hospitals is made first through literature than among participants in architectural design process of healthcare facilities. The knowledge and space classification are made to be able to use in knowledge management processes. The representation of the classification is made with UML class diagram and visualization is made with a BIM-based data management tool, called dRofus. With standardization of space data, a new approach to tacit knowledge visualization is achieved, design knowledge visualization is made for knowledge management in healthcare facilities.

A Prototype Risk Management Decision Support Tool for Construction Projects Arıkan, Ae; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (null; 2009-09-30) Although risk management (RM) is accepted as one of the critical success factors for construction projects, project participants generally do not have sufficient knowledge pertinent to RM concept and the number of support tools which facilitate the process is rather low. Decision support tools are necessary for the systematic identification of risks, scenario generation, and proactive management of risk and integration of RM activities with other project management functions. The aim of this study is to int...
A Decision Support System for Project Portfolio Management in Construction Companies Bilgin, Gozde; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; ÖZORHON ORAKÇAL, BELİZ (2022-11-01) Project portfolio management requires a systematic process that comprises assessment of portfolio risk and expected profitability, as well as strategic fit of individual projects with company objectives. After a needs analysis based on literature findings and surveys with experts, in this study, a process model and a tool, COPPMAN (COnstruction Project Portfolio MANagement), were developed to support project portfolio decisions in construction companies. COPPMAN was developed in collaboration with construct...
A SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINE METHOD FOR BID/NO BID DECISION MAKING Sönmez, Rifat (2017-01-01) The bid/no bid decision is an important and complex process, and is impacted by numerous variables that are related to the contractor, project, client, competitors, tender and market conditions. Despite the complexity of bid decision making process, in the construction industry the majority of bid/no bid decisions is made informally based on experience, judgment, and perception. In this paper, a procedure based on support vector machines and backward elimination regression is presented for improving the exi...
A lessons learned database structure for construction companies Eken, Görkem; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (2015-06-24) Knowledge management in project based industries is critical as in the case of construction industry. Besides being a project based industry, factors specific to construction projects also make it harder to capture knowledge. Construction projects are held in dispersed locations, by different parties involved, with variable objectives; all of which make capturing the information more difficult and knowledge management process more complex. This study presents a database structure and an information system t...
An exploratory study on utilization of BIM for risk management Kaya, Hazal Deniz; Dikmen, İrem; Atasoy, Güzide; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi; 2020-11-14) It is a well-known fact that BIM application in construction projects enables several advantages such as better collaboration and communication, effective project visualization before construction, more efficient cost estimation and scheduling, and an increase in productivity. Although many of these advantages that BIM contributes to construction projects may result in opportunities for better risk management, there are limited studies in the construction management literature that investigate this subject....
