Data Context

The construction industry is facing a data tsunami, while emerging information technologies (IT) show great potential for the effective processing of these data or information. However, a comprehensive review for technological change, the resulting process, and organizational changes in the Big Data context, especially from the angle of whole lifecycle of construction project, is lacking. To fill the void, related works published in the databases of Web of Science, Science Direct, and American Society of Civil Engineers library are systematically reviewed. The general trend in emerging IT application in terms of construction project management (CPM) phases, technology and application, and research topics are revealed. Following this analysis, the particularized proposals in relation to each of the main topics within CPM is discussed. Furthermore, according to the advances and limitations of the current literature, corresponding future agendas such as the implementation of comprehensive data-driven CPM scenario are proposed to bridge the gaps between theoretical research and practical demands.

Management Approaches

Government-invested construction projects have their own characteristics, and effective management can be achieved only by adopting corresponding appropriate management approaches. The characteristics of government-invested construction project management and corresponding serious problems existed in present management are analyzed and summarized at first. Secondly, the countermeasures to above problems are put forward. Then, an information management system framework for government-invested project management is proposed on the basis of the foregoing work. This framework can realize the fusion of project information management system and E-government system and achieve the institutionalization, standardization, informatization and lifecycle management for government-invested project by means of multiple modernized information technologies and professional software. Finally, the development and application of the developed information system validate the effectiveness to promote the management level of government-invested construction project. The work involved in this paper can provide reference for the management of other similar construction projects.

Tools And Techniques

This paper investigates competency classifications in construction project management and the relevant fields as well as the tools and techniques applied for such classifications. A systematic review and a detailed content analysis of twenty-three selected references from the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) library published over the last three decades were conducted. The findings of the content analysis showed that for classifying competencies, the information gathering techniques “review” and “authors’ perspective” were predominantly used in the selected sources, whereas the three techniques “factor analysis,” “interview/ meeting,” and “questionnaire/ survey” were seldom used. The content analysis of the selected references also indicated that competency, competency synonyms, competency subdivisions, or competency branches were classified into its components in many different ways. The most common classifications were identified, compared with each other, and the similarities and differences between them were addressed. The findings of this study are a step towards providing the literature with a comprehensive investigation of competency classifications and appropriate classification tools and techniques in the field of construction project management.
