With increasing awareness of gains and importance of the strategic use of information and communication technologies (ICTs), the implementation rate of ICTs in the construction sector is increasing. However, these technologies have not been covered by legal and contractual practices. The industry needs to implement application frameworks and legal restructuring of the existing related laws and regulations to use ICT in a legal and contractually valid environment. The EU-funded eLEGAL project, which defined a legal framework for ICT uptake in construction, is selected as a model project to address legal and contractual issues regarding ICT use in the Turkish construction industry. The applicability of this project's results are discussed by using real cases and defining the barriers, opportunities, methods, and tools to use ICT in a legally admissible manner in the Turkish construction industry.

Legal aspects of ICT implementation in Turkish construction industry: applicability of eLEGAL framework
Çiftçi, Çağlar; Nielsen, Yasemin; Department of Civil Engineering (2005)
With increasing awareness of gains and importance of the strategic use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), the implementation rate of ICTs in construction sector is increasing. However, these technologies have not been covered by legal and contractual practices. The industry needs to implement application frameworks and legal re-structuring of the existing related laws and regulations to use ICT in a legal and contractually valid environment. In this thesis, an EU funded project, eLEGAL; wh...
Preparing Civil Engineers for International Collaboration in Construction Management
Soibelman, Lucio; Sacks, Rafael; Akinci, Burcu; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Eybpoosh, Matineh (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2011-07-01)
Economic globalization is increasingly affecting both the construction industry and academia. It is changing the traditional roles of civil engineers and construction managers. Cross-cultural collaboration and communication skills, multinational team management skills, the ability to overcome the social challenges of geographically distributed teams, and familiarity with construction materials, standards, and methods of foreign countries are vital for modern construction professionals. However, the traditio...
Exploring the Relationship between Complexity and Risk in Megaconstruction Projects
Erol, Huseyin; Dikmen, Irem; Atasoy Özcan, Güzide; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2020-12-01)
© 2020 American Society of Civil Engineers.Although complexity and risk are inherent characteristics of megaconstruction projects, existing project management approaches fail to incorporate complexity-based thinking into risk management. Complexity is usually considered as the source of risk events, along with uncertainty. However, prevailing risk management practices are oriented toward only handling the uncertainty. The lack of integration between the complexity and other risk-related concepts leads to un...
Sensing and Field Data Capture for Construction and Facility Operations
Taneja, Saurabh; akinci, burcu; garrett, james; soibelman, lucio; berges, mario; Atasoy Özcan, Güzide; LIU, XEUONG; SHAHANDASHTI, SM; ANIL, BURAK; ERGEN PEHLEVAN, ESİN; pradhan, anu; tang, pingbo (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2011-10-01)
Collection of accurate, complete, and reliable field data is not only essential for active management of construction projects involving various tasks, such as material tracking, progress monitoring, and quality assurance, but also for facility and infrastructure management during the service lives of facilities and infrastructure systems. Limitations of current manual data collection approaches in terms of speed, completeness, and accuracy render these approaches ineffective for decision support in highly ...
Determination of Quality Level in Mass Housing Projects in Turkey
KAZAZ, AYNUR; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2005-02-01)
In Turkey, achievement of acceptable levels of quality in the construction sector has long been a problem. Great expenditures of time, money, and resources are wasted each year due to inefficient or nonexistent quality levels prevailing in the industry. The situation is even worse in the case of mass housing projects addressing to low and middle income groups. It is the purpose of this paper to identify the type of deviations resulting in rework in mass housing projects, since construction firms can only in...
