Antecedents of Collaborative Networked Learning in Manufacturing
(Auckland University of Technology, 2013)This study aims to investigate the antecedents of collaborative networked learning (hereafter CNL), to develop an integrative CNL framework and to bridge the gap between theory and praxis in manufacturing. Although ... -
Building materials supply chains: an evaluative study of the New Zealand residential construction
(Auckland University of Technology, 2014)Concurrent with the development of interest in supply chain management in the broad manufacturing sector, there has been an increasing interest in supply chain management research in construction. The New Zealand construction ... -
Comparative analysis of construction procurement systems based on transaction costs
(Auckland University of Technology, 2014)Within construction procurement, Transaction cost economics (TCE), offers a mechanism to understand ‘unseen’ costs associated with the pre and post-contract work. Pre-contract, these include costs related to information ... -
Corporate Social Responsibility agenda for International Oil Companies (IOCs): new perspectives from stakeholders in the Niger Delta Region (NDR) of Nigeria
(Auckland University of Technology, 2014)The discovery of oil in Nigeria in the 1950s has had extremes of both positive and negative impacts on Nigeria’s economic, political, social and environmental landscape particularly the Niger Delta Region (NDR). As a ... -
Developing a Framework for Roading Infrastructure Projects Procurement System Selection
(Auckland University of Technology, 2021)The ability to select an optimal procurement system is critical to project success and can potentially contribute to the sustainability of the construction society. Although its importance has been recognised, current ... -
Developing a strategy-led approach as a suitable methodology for construction project planning and implementation
(Auckland University of Technology, 2013)Successful project delivery is somewhat elusive because project failures in terms of cost overruns, time delays and quality failures have become common far and wide contributing to low productivity statistics. The evolvement ... -
Developing an Optimized Sustainability Assessment Tool for Building Information Modelling (BIM) Systems - Incorporation of Hygrothermal Modelling into BIM
(Auckland University of Technology, 2020)The analysis of the New Zealand (NZ) housing indicated that a notable percentage of dwellings is energy-inefficient, cold, mouldy, and damp which is likely to cause significant health-related issues. Research has suggested ... -
Developing service performance for the New Zealand house building industry: A study of Auckland residential housing
(Auckland University of Technology, 2018)The residential housing industry has provided a significant contribution to New Zealand’s economy over the decade. Recently, there has been a huge demand for new housing development in New Zealand, especially in Auckland. ... -
Enhancing Green Star Certification by Improving Bim Uptake Through System Dynamics Modelling
(Auckland University of Technology, 2019)The construction industry has been criticised for its undesirable characteristics and its negative impacts on the environment. In New Zealand, low construction productivity and high levels of construction and demolition ... -
Evaluating the Economics of Construction and Demolition Waste Minimisation and Zero Waste in the New Zealand Construction Industry
(Auckland University of Technology, 2017)Currently, up to 50% of construction and demolition (C&D) waste is disposed of in landfills contributing to significant environmental, social and economic costs to New Zealand. However, current understanding of C&D costs ... -
An evaluative framework for defects in new residential buildings: the New Zealand case
(Auckland University of Technology, 2013)The achievement of quality performance is an important component in the handover stage of new residential buildings, and plays a key role in homeowners’ satisfaction levels. Every new homeowner wants a product that is ... -
An examination of the retention practice in the New Zealand construction industry
(Auckland University of Technology, 2015)The payment mechanism of construction projects is different compared to other industries. For every payment made to a contractor or subcontractor a sum of money is held back which can vary from a low of 2% to as high as ... -
Exploring feasible solutions to payment problems in the construction industry in New Zealand
(Auckland University of Technology, 2013)As in any commercial activity, cash flow is vital for the survival of construction businesses. Construction activities take a long time, the products are expensive and the fact that payments are usually made for work already ... -
Exploring the Potential for the Application of Simulation Methods in Construction Project Delivery in New Zealand
(Auckland University of Technology, 2017)The development of simulation-based techniques used within the construction management domain is mainly to facilitate the decision-making process. These technologically-based approaches enable construction operations ... -
A Framework to Improve the Performance of Public Tender Evaluation Procedures in New Zealand
(Auckland University of Technology, 2020)One of the vital factors that contribute to the success of a project is the selection of an appropriate contractor. Contractors play a major role in projects. However, choosing the best contractor for construction projects ... -
Generating Value in Alliance Contracts Through the Lean Concept
(Auckland University of Technology, 2014)The construction industry has recognised alliancing as a means to increase construction efficiency. Despite the potential benefits attributed to alliancing, the true performance enhancements have not been fully gained in ... -
Improving Business Processes Through Enhanced Understanding of the Interactions of Lean, Waste, and Cognitive Factors in Work Places
(Auckland University of Technology, 2019)Over the last two decades, very few studies have identified bias influence on Lean and waste. Many operational analytical models assume people are rational, without cognitive influence, whereas research in economics, ... -
Investigating the Effectiveness of Adopting Building Information Modelling for Refurbishment of Complex Buildings; Case Study of Auckland
(Auckland University of Technology, 2019)The adoption of building information modelling (BIM) is relatively new to the refurbishment of existing building projects. As a result, the uptake and delivery have been recently reported to be slow for refurbishment ... -
Real-time and Dynamic Planning and Scheduling Under Disruption Using Multi-hybrid Simulation and Optimisation
(Auckland University of Technology, 2019)Planning and scheduling are the principal components of construction contract execution. Distinct studies have developed a wide range of tools and technologies for solving construction planning and scheduling problems. The ... -
Realizing Trust Dynamics and Governance for Humanizing Driverless Technology
(Auckland University of Technology, 2022)Driverless Technology (DT) in the shape of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) will emerge as a powerful catalyst transforming the future cascade of mobility, infrastructure, and social wellbeing. Due to the proliferation of AVs, ...
