Optimization of green building design processes: case studies within the European union
Two case studies in Italy and two case studies in Spain are analyzed, and the effects of the project management issues are evaluated under three different points of view: Time, cost, and level of sustainability of the building. A poorly planned process for the achievement of the various green building features of the project can...

BIM-LEAN as a methodology to save execution costs in building construction - an experience under the Spanish framework
The most representative trends in the construction industry that enable improvements are both Building Information Modelling paradigm (BIM) and Lean Construction philosophy. However, there is a scarcity of works on the synergy of both paradigms. Therefore, this paper is focused on the benefits of both disciplines and the impacts on project efficiency through a case...

Lean construction: evaluation of waste and carbon footprint in construction project
The purpose of this research was to find causes, impact analysis, and possible mitigation of waste and carbon footprint in the construction project. Results show the causes of waste were dominated by worker factors while the main causes of waste in the design phase were client requests, DED changes and complexity, and design errors.

Developing safety cooperation in construction: between facilitating independence and tightening the grip
Cooperation about safety and joint responsibility between managers and workers is one of the cornerstones of health and safety work. Drawing on an understanding of safety as practice, this study attempts to empirically unpack the difference between cooperation as engaging with local knowledge and the disciplining of unsafe behaviour.
