Competitive tendering for refurbishment work

The investigation was undertaken as part of a larger study to evaluate a large body of UK contractors' claim of higher risk exposure in refurbishment work. The bidding set or number of bidders in a project; the bid spread or 'money left on the table' by the lowest bidder and, the success rate and competitive mix in tendering were used to gauge the competition in tendering. On balance, it may be concluded that the probability of winning a competitive tender for refurbishment work is higher than in new build work.

Service management in housing refurbishment: a theoretical approach

It is unusual to find that housing refurbishment projects have been undertaken with a clear focus on customer orientation directed towards the tenants, or owners of cooperative flats or condominiums. Only recently have researchers in construction management begun to look closer at the relationship between contractors and customers. To assess the scope for customer orientation in the refurbishment industry, current thinking in service management is reviewed here in an attempt to identify principles with implications for housing refurbishment. There is a consensus among service management investigators that services are intangible; other often mentioned characteristics are heterogeneity, perishability, and the inseparability of production and consumption. Except for inseparability these characteristics are valid for refurbishment. Nevertheless, features such as the long turn-round time, the number of participants, the complexity and the uncertainty, distinguish housing refurbishment from most services. There is strong empirical support for the claim that customer satisfaction increases customer loyalty and gives the service producer a positive reputation, ultimately increasing profitability. It is concluded that this insight can be interpreted operationally for housing refurbishment projects, bearing in mind that the tenant or the owner of a cooperative flat is the customer's customer.     

Competitive tendering and individual behaviour in the construction industry: convenient immorality at work

How and why does the construction industry persist with competitive tendering as the dominant procurement model? This is a constructivist grounded theory view of construction industry procurement in New Zealand, explaining how industry actors have to behave. convenient immorality is a shared and accepted response by individuals intended to facilitate business outcomes within an environment of intense competition, driven by opportunism and asymmetric power relationships. Low trust due to convenient immorality behaviours will continue to frustrate attempts to replace competitive tendering as the dominant model for construction industry procurement.

GA-based decision support system for housing condition assessment and refurbishment strategies

Refurbishment work involves improvement, upgrading, renovation, retrofit, and repair of existing housing. With limited land usage and being aware of sustainability, the refurbishment market has faced increasing needs worldwide. During the long life cycle period of housing, most residents are undoubtedly faced with refurbishment requirements. However, it is not easy to make assessment and refurbishment related decisions due to the lack of knowledge and experience. This study presents Genetic algorithm-based on-line decision support system (DSS) to help residents easily conduct the housing condition assessment and offers optimal refurbishment actions considering the trade-off between cost and quality. Two refurbishment models are developed to explore the relationship among the life cycle cost, restoration cost and improved quality. The result reveals the proposed DSS solves the problems arising from asymmetric information and conflicting interests between residents and contractors, as well as improves traditional housing condition assessment to be more effective and efficient.
