    Building Execution Plan as an effective document for Building Information Modelling
    (Elsevier B.V, 2024-07-29) Sudakova, Katsiaryna; Remeš, Josef; Tichá, Alena
    The use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology is recently becoming an increasingly influential factor in the successful completion of construction projects. Providing a wide range of technical enhancements to the design process (for example software for 3D modelling), BIM also offers a wide range of tools for managing construction projects. The goal of Building Information Modelling is to eliminate gaps in data transmission between different stages of the life cycle of a construction project. In this context, BEP, or BIM Execution Plan, is an essential document in the BIM concept. It functions as a tool for managing a project, both from the human resources perspective, such as meeting deadlines, and from the perspective of preserving and transferring graphical and non-graphical data of the project. Furthermore, it provides a detailed plan for building design, construction, and facility management, helping to ensure that all stakeholders are in line with the project’s goals. This article examines BEP as it evolves throughout various life cycle stages, from initial design and planning to construction and final delivery, exploring its potential in facility management.

    Data Flow in Relation to Life-Cycle Costing of Construction Projects in the Czech Republic
    (IOP Science, 2017-11-07) Biolek, Vojtěch; Hanák, Tomáš; Marović, Ivan
    Life-cycle costing is an important part of every construction project, as it makes it possible to take into consideration future costs relating to the operation and demolition phase of a built structure. In this way, investors can optimize the project design to minimize the total project costs. Even though there have already been some attempts to implement BIM software in the Czech Republic, the current state of affairs does not support automated data flow between the bill of costs and applications that support building facility management. The main aim of this study is to critically evaluate the current situation and outline a future framework that should allow for the use of the data contained in the bill of costs to manage building operating costs.

    Wages and Incentive Instruments for Enhancing the Performance of Construction Industry Employees
    (University North, 2020-02-28) Tichá, Alena; Linkeschová, Dana; Tichý, Zdeněk; Mrňová, Zuzana
    The aim of the article is to present quantitative development of wages and incentive instruments in the Czech Republic during the recent period and at the same time to provide an insight into the emerging changes in the labor market brought by the industry and the construction industry digitization. Strong demand for increased corporate social responsibility of the companies in the technical, economic and environmental protection and care sectors, and in particular in mutual communication between market partners, has had and will have an impact on wage policy and creation of employer wage systems. This article briefly gives the insight into what visions and strategies this situation brings into the construction industry field.

    Management of Business Risk Hedging in Construction Contracts from the Perspective of Public Investors
    (University North, 2020-02-28) Andrlová, Barbara; Korytárová, Jana
    Risk management of construction projects presented in the article focuses on the management of business risk from the perspective of public investors in public works contracts in the Czech Republic. Based on the data analysis and a comparative study of specific attributes in contracts for works, the result of the research has been a portfolio of specific instruments and their recommended parameters for effective business risk management. Qualitative analysis was conducted using a questionnaire survey and structured interviews with public sector representatives to share their views on the current practice of protecting public procurement with regard to mitigate business risk. Types, functions and recommended parameters of hedging instruments has been proposed. Effective forms of hedging are mainly liability insurance for damage to things, property and health, contractual penalties, retention money and bank guarantees. Results of the research were compared with foreign practice and international contractual standards.

    Management of Human Resources and Quality in Materials Supply Process in Construction Projects
    (UIKTEN, 2016-08-31) Žileska-Pančovska, Valentina; Blaževska-Stoilkovska, Biljana; Hanák, Tomáš
    Construction projects participants were surveyed to assess how coordination and communication among stakeholders and quality control in building materials supply process were managed, as well as to evaluate their satisfaction with the structures quality. It was found that the participants’ role and working experience had a statistically significant interaction effect on satisfaction with the structures quality, but their effect on perceived coordination and communication among stakeholders and materials’ quality control wasn’t statistically significant. The results were discussed in light of their importance for effective construction project management from the aspect of human resources, building materials quality and satisfaction with the quality of structures.
