    Detection of architectural drawings errors in 3 dimension
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2017) Kazaz, Aynur; Acıkara, Turgut; Ulubeyli, Serdar; Koyun, Hasan
    In construction projects architectural drawings are the main documents which show how a structure has to be built. In this sense, most of the data necessary for project management are prepared based on these drawings. Therefore, architectural drawing errors will adversely affect the constructability and hence, the time and cost of a construction project. On the other hand, although the structures are built 3D, architectural drawings are prepared 2D. This circumstance complicates the detection of drawing errors during the design phase. In other words, drawing errors are mostly encountered during the construction phase. In fact, drawing errors are risks which can be detected during the planning phase in nature. In this study, it was argued that to detect drawing errors in planning phase architectural and engineering drawings should be prepared 3D instead of 2D. In this context, drawings of an official approved hotel project were redrawn by means of BIM to determine whether there exists drawing errors. The results of the study revealed that drawings involved many errors and 3D drawings enable early detection of them. (c) 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

    Evaluations of construction project participants' attitudes toward quality management in Turkey
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2017) Acıkara, Turgut; Kazaz, Aynur; Ulubeyli, Serdar
    In recent years, quality management became an important topic for the construction industry. This topic attracted the attention of many researchers and numerous researches were conducted in the literature. Although, quality management is common among institutionalized construction firms, small and middle-sized firms neglect it. Construction projects contain many project specific risks due to their complicated nature. Institutionalized construction firms with a quality management department and policy, minimizes wastes by effective material usage and productivity increasing. Therefore, they can prevent or bring under control time and cost dependent risks. On the other hand, lack of quality management policy or limited participation of project participants to quality management process will both negatively affect the management of the project and competitiveness of the firms. This will also decrease the survival potential of construction firms within the industry. In this study, it was aimed to determine the attitudes of construction project participants towards quality management. For this purpose, a questionnaire was administered to 120 participants of construction projects in Turkey. The results revealed that, although most of the participants have a positive attitude towards quality management, they are not able to evaluate it in a proper way. (c) 2017 The Authors.
