Client Demand: One of the Main Drivers of Innovation in Construction Projects

Customer demand is one of the main drivers of innovation in construction projects. In fact, it is widely believed that architectural clients can play an important role in promoting architectural innovation (Seaden and Manseau, 2001; Barlow, 2000; Gann and Salter, 2000; Nam and Tatum, 1997 ; Kumaraswamy and Dulaimi, 2001). In fact, "UK's current policy has identified skilled customers as the lead agencies of the main institutions that promote innovation in buildings" (Winch, 1998, pp.

This white paper describes the strategic areas related to architectural challenges and the potential of BIM to establish supply chain management between key project participants such as customers, contractors, product suppliers. The first area is design management and we have to clarify how the model-based design provided by the product supplier relates to the building design and structure design of the building project. Furthermore, it is possible to improve the monitoring and management of design situation information with the help of BIM and SCM to identify design delays as soon as possible to avoid differences in si construction work.

Construction project management can be defined as the direction, supervision and oversight of the project from early development to completion. The ultimate goal of construction project management is to fully meet customer needs for viable projects in terms of functionality and budget. There are various kinds of construction projects such as commercial, residential, industrial, and heavy civil use. When the design is completed, the construction project manager selects the project contractor. Even if the project is still under development, this may occur in some cases. The choice is based on the auction process with each contractor. There are three main ways to use contractors. Low bidding options, best value options, and entitlement-based options.

Normally, engineering contracts are awarded in two ways. Customers award the turnkey contractor the entire project as a turnkey contract, or a customer's primary contract (and design, technology, service I will subcontract you. . There are many changes in customer-contractor relationship during the project period, customers and contractors may be acquired by competitors or investors, merged with other companies, liquidated and may go bankrupt there is. For the purposes of this paper, let's consider the fact that customers have changed, and therefore the contractual relationship between the former owner and the general contractor has changed. For commercial reasons, the new owner decides to change the relationship with the general contractor, the general consent agrees with the change, and it can also function as a project turnkey contractor.
