Smienk, Hugo (author)One of the fundamental goals for the success of a construction project is found to be completion within the budget. To reach this goal, cost estimation is a key process which can be divided into the estimation of direct and indirect costs. Unlike direct costs, indirect costs are not directly connected with the performance of any particular...master thesis 2023

Pejić, Saša Pejić (author)In recent years the AEC industry has started implementing more new technologies. Still, the adoption process is slow. One of the crucial steps during the building designing is a justification of design according to previously defined requirements. That process is still manual to a large extent, therefore unnecessarily time-consuming and prone to...master thesis 2021

Mathur, Pulkit (author)The construction industry has always been plagued with a high number of accidents and fatalities. The Dutch construction is not an exception in this case and had the highest percentage of workplace accidents among all industries in the national economy, in the year 2019. The high number of accidents and resulting fatalities can be attributed to...master thesis 2020

Winkel, S. (author)In the current breakwater design process, not all feasible concepts can be explored due to time constraints. However, designers are also influenced by breakwaters constructed near, or at the same location as their breakwater project. But also conservative assumptions influence the breakwater design process, for instance, regarding the wave...master thesis 2020

Wellen, Fleur (author), Winkel, Sander (author), Vrinds, Thijs (author), van der Voort, Tjalie (author)In Chile, the Biobío river separates the cities of Concepción and San Pedro de la Paz. Bridges crossing the Biobío river ensure a fast and dependable connection, which contributes to the transport options in the region. With the Biobío region being the second largest contributor to the country's GDP, an unreliable transport network is highly...student report 2019

Zhou, Lizhongyang (author)It is desirable to predict construction cost with a high level of accuracy in the early phase to compare the budgetary with feasibility determinations. Additionally, it is required to be as quick as possible. However, the accuracy of the cost estimation depends on the design details which are extremely limited in such an early phase, rendering...master thesis 2018

Odio Pozuelo, Julian Odio (author)Traditional construction planning and performance control tools such as Gantt Charts and S Curves fail to visually represent physical project progress, construction sequence, interfaces and the critical path, which means that decision makers carry out their job with incomplete information. Moreover, these tools motivate a quantity-oriented...master thesis 2018
