    A Proposed Management System for Efficient Construction Site Productivity

    By Raji Al-Ani, Ibrahim Haijal, Orabi Al-Rawi

    Abstract: The concept of on-site construction productivity has long been a major concern of researchers and construction companies. The factors that influence construction site productivity vary according to the project environment, project type, staff, management, and other related factors and/or variables. In this study, the main factors that are believed influencing construction site productivity are reviewed as environmental, manpower, management, and site. A field survey has evaluated site productivity of 150 …

    Cost Objective Model for Construction Equipment Replacement Policies

    By Raji Al-Ani, Annas Al- Saadie

    Abstract: Most construction companies, particularly companies whose projects are primarily constructed with earthmoving equipment, depend heavily on their construction equipment fleets, which represent substantial locked capital investment and require acceptable utilization levels to recover expenses incurred and losses from this investment. The equipment, which possesses a finite physical and economic life, inevitably requires replacement, and equipment maintenance costs increase with the equipment life. Different methodologies are employed to establish the replacement …

    Earned Value Technique is an Essential Project Management Tool to Prevent Cost Overrun

    By Raji Al-Ani, Zaher A. Yousef

    Abstract: The cost of construction projects has a long history of exceeding the planned cost. At the project level, this is termed as “Project Cost Overrun”. This research reviews the main critical factors of causing the cost overrun of the projects in the construction stage. These factors have been collected from previous literatures and studies to identify the reasons behind the inefficiency of the existed site cost monitoring and control system …
