Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. share of construction projects overseas has been decreasing over the past decade. The reasons most cited for the declining U.S. market share are the world economy, financing, government intervention, and competition. Some suggestions for improving competitiveness are: moving away from cost-plus-fixed-fee bids to fixed-price bids on projects; using computers to save on design and engineering costs; taking on smaller projects; and reviewing internal strategies for areas that can be improved. There are many reasons why U.S. construction companies are facing problems in the international market, but there may be simple methods for future improvement. Management techniques, as well as cultural integration with the project locale are important to the success of the project. With strategic project management, the construction industry can attempt to hold its share of the global market, and expand it in the future.

This book was released on 2009-12-09 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Construction productivity-how well, how quickly, and at what cost buildings and infrastructure can be constructed-directly affects prices for homes and consumer goods and the robustness of the national economy. Industry analysts differ on whether construction industry productivity is improving or declining. Still, advances in available and emerging technologies offer significant opportunities to improve construction efficiency substantially in the 21st century and to help meet other national challenges, such as environmental sustainability. Advancing the Competitiveness and Efficiency of the U.S. Construction Industry identifies five interrelated activities that could significantly improve the quality, timeliness, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability of construction projects. These activities include widespread deployment and use of interoperable technology applications; improved job-site efficiency through more effective interfacing of people, processes, materials, equipment, and information; greater use of prefabrication, preassembly, modularization, and off-site fabrication techniques and processes; innovative, widespread use of demonstration installations; and effective performance measurement to drive efficiency and support innovation. The book recommends that the National Institute of Standards and Technology work with industry leaders to develop a collaborative strategy to fully implement and deploy the five activities
