Development of a lean and automated progress tracking system is one of the most challenging subjects in the construction industry. Since the current methods depend on individual and manual inspections of the site, they may have various problems. For instance, results include a natural bias since field personnel makes interpretations depending on their educational and expertise level. From the practical point of view, manual data collection and their comparison with construction drawings and schedules are inefficient as it takes too much time. With the recent advancement of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) into the market and inclusion of lean project management principles, project management studies are inclined towards the digital and lean approaches. Within this perspective, the objective of this study is to reveal the use of UAVs as a lean project management tool. This paper indicates merely that UAVs have the potential for such a purpose

Lean Project Management using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Ersöz, Ahmet Bahaddin; Pekcan, Onur; Tokdemir, Onur Behzat (2019-02-01) As the construction industry is one of the dominant contributors to the world’s total CO2 emissions and it has huge negative impacts on the environment, sustainable construction has become a key aspiration in the field. Through utilizing eco-friendly design and resource efficiency, sustainable construction is considered as the main concept to create and operate a healthy built environment. Although sustainability has been demonstrated as a timeless objective for continuous development in Turkey’s government...
MEASURING THE IMPACT OF LEAN CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES ON PROJECT DURATION AND VARIABILITY: A SIMULATION-BASED STUDY ON RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS Erol, Huseyin; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (2017-01-01) Performance of the construction projects have been criticized for many years due to their low productivity rates and cost overruns as well as significant delays. Increasing number of dissatisfied customers compel practitioners to reform conventional practices of construction management. Lean construction has emerged as a result of these efforts in the industry. However, there are limited number of studies that demonstrate the practical benefits of lean construction applications. The aim of this paper is to ...
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...
Identifying the barriers of implementing lean construction principals in developing countries Markazi Movaghar, Ehsan; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2016) The construction industry is congested with many types of project management systems to control and manage construction projects but none of them really look in-depth to maximize the efficiency of the work flow and minimizing waste. The implementation of the lean construction principles into the local construction scene can improve the problems. However, lean construction is complex and can be risky if not properly managed. Lean construction efforts in some other countries have not been successful due to th...
Progress‐Based Construction Scheduling Pultar, Mustafa (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 1990-12) A new construction scheduling technique, developed on the basis of progress charts and Gantt (bar) charts, is presented. The main aim of the development is to overcome the problem of fragmentation of activities during the application of the conventional critical path and precedence diagramming methods to construction projects. However, the level of detail available in these methods for the representation of precedence relationships has been preserved and extended. Timing relations are defined among any even...
