Sustainable Lean Construction
This book presents select proceedings of the Indian Lean Construction Conference (ILCC 2022) with adoption and implementation cases of lean concepts across Indian construction projects. The topics covered are lean culture and behavior, lean in sustainable and green technologies, lean supply chain management and offsite construction, lean in public sector, lean in modern construction techniques, etc. The book also discusses various properties and performance attributes of lean tools and techniques across various construction practices in infrastructure and real estate projects. The book is a valuable reference for researchers and construction professionals interested in Lean Construction.
Construction Safety: Economics and Informatics Perspectives
This book covers the economics of construction safety, such as the asymmetric information of different construction practitioners in Hong Kong, studies feminism in Australia’s traditionally male-dominated construction industry, and researches an efficient Small-Scale Contractors’ construction health and safety performance management in Zambia. It also constructs the risk rating matrix and assesses occupational hazards identification and risk Assessment in Kaligandaki’s Construction Project. Besides, it throws light on construction safety informatics, such as scaffolds safety via rule-based safety checking and BIM. It compares safety awareness in academic databases in construction, manufacturing, traffic, and health and food industries. It studies construction, real estate hazard, and urban renewal hazard articles indexed on the Web of Science. It conducts a systematic literature review on safety culture. Lastly, it reviewed refurbishment and demolition work in Hong Kong’s legal databases.
