| Abstract: |
Project teams are required to make informed decisions during the conceptual phase of construction projects. For this reason designers need to be informed of the many factors and their contributions that play a role in determining the constructability and project outcome. This paper investigates the important time and cost factors to be considered during the design and construction phases of a project for an early decision between in-situ and hybrid concrete construction. The factors were identified through case studies of projects that had been constructed using hybrid concrete construction. The factors that influence the decision are difficult to quantify and the influence of each may differ from project to project. The proposed decision framework is therefore not based on mathematical outputs and decision making models, but consists of qualitative information that can assist project teams in their decision. |
