Construction Management Project Topics and Materials

The aim of this research work is to discover how maintenance of buildings and infrastructures can be effected, effectively to help increase the workers output thus increasing labour efficiency and increasing the income of the nation leading to increased income per capita of the populace. The objectives of this research work are as follows: (a)Have... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT  The work was an attempt to evolve a quicker and easier means of reaching high places and point safely in tall buildings and other high structures. This has no doubt saved consideration cost of employing cranes.   A very clear account of the introduction and literature background of the project has been discussed in details.  The...

ABSTRACT Walling materials play a vital role in the construction of buildings. The study run a comparative analysis between Hydraform blocks and sandcrete blocks which are both major components of walling to ascertain which block is more cost effective, has high compressive strength and compare the benefit of Hydraform block to sandcrete block....

ABSTRACT Variation order is a common phenomenon in construction projects. It involves an amendment of the original scope of a project as in the contract. Variation orders are caused from various factors.Variations often cause disputes and dissatisfactions among the parties involved in construction projects. Thus, it is very important to control...

ABSTRACT Construction works estimate inaccuracies and none performance have made the imprecise cost estimating practice subjective. This study assessed the dimensions of cost estimating risks influencing building projects’ estimates. The objectives were to identify sources of cost estimating risks; determine critical risk influencing building... Continue Reading

Background of the Study:    Every construction company all over the world expects not only to break even in every project undertaken, but to also make a reasonable level of profit that will satisfy the owners of the company. This is only possible if the activities involved in undertaking  any particular project are optimized, viz-á-viz the... Continue Reading

This project proposes the use of a propellers to power a lightweight vehicle as a non-conventional means of transportation within the school environment. Propellers work based on the generation of thrust sufficient enough to move a mass (in this case, a lightweight, three-wheeled vehicle) to which it is connected. The propeller powered vehicle...

Abstract This project outlines the structural design of eight-storey reinforced concrete hostel building following British standard, BS: 8110, part 1, 1997 “Structural use of Concrete”. The project aimed at producing structural design of eight storey hostel. The research was achieved based on the objectives of; developing structural layout... Continue Reading

In this study of designing a wind turbine using wind energy potential, a case of FUTA. Weibull distribution function method was adopt with the help of probability density function and cumulative density function analysis, the wind speed characteristics and energy potential of the study area was investigated using hourly wind speed data that span...

ABSTRACT The building construction industry is very important to the socio-economic development of a nation. It portrays its religions and cultural values as well as the wealth of the nation. In spite of its importance, the construction industry has been regarded as being risky with frequent and high accident rate and Ill-health problems to... Continue Reading

Abstract Cost control is an important issue in construction project management. It is widely practiced by contractors in Sudan and needs to be carried throughout the life of the project. This study is conducted to study the cost control methods in construction projects, identify the cost control method used by Sudanese contractors during the... Continue Reading
