  • Integration barriers for purchasing organisation in a large construction company: towards requisite disintegration
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: The IMP Journal. - 0809-7259. ; 7:1, s. 46-58
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Developing the purchasing organisation is an ongoing challenge for large contractors where internal and external perspectives need to interplay. The aim of this paper is two-fold: firstly, the development of a theoretical framework to characterise the purchasing organisation and secondly, to analyse the limited adoption of integrated purchasing through an analysis of barriers to integration. The theoretical standpoint is underpinned by purchasing organisation theory and by literature on internal and external integration as well as barriers to integration. Based on a two-year case study, the paper presents the status of the purchasing organisation and the barriers to further integration as originating from the strategic purchasers of the contractor. The perceived barriers question full integration internally and externally. The perceived barriers encompass low framework agreement status compared to orders, inconsistent ways of working in the projects and dispersed geographical location and sub-markets. The barriers to integration stem from both attitudinal and industrial matters, whilst institutional barriers are not identified. The paper therefore proposes a differentiated, requisitely disintegrated, purchasing organisation designed to manage the diverse supplier population. In contrast to those advocating a tighter internal and external integration, this paper suggests a requisite balance between integration and specialisation of the purchasing activities.

  • The use and non-use of time in new construction of residential buildings: the case of Sweden
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: Proceedings of the 17th International Symposium on Advancement of Construction Management and Real Estate (CRIOCM 2012). - Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg. ; , s. 635-642

    • There is a continuous debate on costs in construction. Customers are complaining on the high costs, while suppliers are focusing on cutting costs. Experiences from successful companies in other industries show another logical way for lowering costs. By prioritizing reduction of errors and other disturbances there is easier to foresee the processes as well as benchmarking processes in order to shorten lead-times. Shorter lead-times lead to lower costs. While costs, defects and delays are discussed among academics, the use of available time seems to be less covered in research papers. This paper aims to describe how time is used and not used in construction. Examples from Swedish construction are given. Some examples from Chinese construction projects are given as a benchmark. One perspective on how time is used concerns lead-times from briefing to final delivery. A second perspective concerns the fact that work is only going on 40 hours a week. A third perspective concerns to what extent resources, here human resources and equipment, are used. The main argument is to focus more on the use and non-use of time as a way to improve construction.

  • Developing Capabilities for Public Construction Clients
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: Proceedings of the 19th International Symposium on the Advancement of Construction Management and Real Estate, 7-9 Nov 2014, Chongqing.
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Clients in the public sector face a large number of challenges in designing, procur-ing and managing major construction projects in a manner that is conducive to the organization’s overall goals. The role of the client in bringing about successful project completion has more recently been emphasized with a growing number of studies focusing on developing dynamic client capabilities that facilitate the han-dling of a project through all of its different phases. Though the capabilities of the client carries immense importance in all con-struction projects, the importance is further exacerbated by the sheer scale of the projects involved in major construction projects, a development which has prompted governmental agencies to inquire into ways to improve processes in the client organization. To address such inquiries, this paper which is based on a literature review, ex-plores the types of dynamic capabilities that emerge with respect to public con-struction clients and in particular, if and how a specific client capability influences a specific project outcome. The mapping of capabilities constitutes a theoretical foundation for a forthcoming empirical study on the same topic.

  • Implications of cost overruns and time delays on major public construction projects
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: Proceedings of the 19th International Symposium on the Advancement of Construction Management and Real Estate, 7-9 Nov 2014, Chongqing.
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • For decades, the construction industry has been characterized by costs exceeding budgetary limits and completion times reaching further than what was set out ini-tially. This has been particularly noticeable for large public construction projects where cost overruns and time delays have long been regarded a common occur-rence. Due to the magnitude and frequency of these overruns, they have come to pose a significant financial risk to both clients and contractors, in addition to the impact exerted on the sustainability of the project. In dealing with this, researchers, auditors and practitioners have suggested a broad range of solutions, ranging from technical and economical to psychological and political approaches. In doing so, the contractor’s role has been emphasized whereas the role of the client organization has often been overlooked. This paper which is based on a literature review investigates the occurrence of and the expla-nations for cost overruns and time delays in major construction projects from the public client’s perspective. It also explores the implications of cost overruns and time delays; the purpose of which is to offer an extended understanding of the re-lationship between the client’s actions and effects on cost, time and sustainability parameters.

  • Managers and craftsmen perceptions of operational strategies based on lean philosophy: The case of a large Swedish construction company
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: Proceedings of The 19th International Symposium on the Advancement of Construction Management and Real Estate, 7-9 Nov 2014, Chongqing.
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Organisations implement operational strategies in order to develop and stay competitive in a changing business environment. However, the strategy needs to be anchored and understood by the employees in order to become successful on a long-term basis. This paper is based on a case study of a large construction company specialised in new construction of multi-dwelling buildings. Five years ago, the company initiated Structured Production, which is an operational strategy based on lean philosophy. The aim of the paper is to identify how middle managers, lower managers and craftsmen perceive how operational strategies is implemented in the company. First, the strategy and the rational behind the decision to implement the strategy is presented. This section is based on document analysis as well as on interviews with upper managers in the company. Then, middle managers, lower managers and craftsmen’ perceptions of the strategy is presented. This section is based on a questionnaire study made 2014. The study shows that the strategy is perceived to focus on structuring and standardising products and processes, while less focus is on the organisation and its members.

  • Causes of defects in construction - a study of seven building projects in Sweden
  • 1998
  • Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • This paper is based on a study of defects and defect costs in seven building projects in Sweden. Special observers collected information on 3000 defects found on site. The causes were primarily ascribed to the individuals’ actions, knowledge, information and motivation. Lack of motivation was found to be the most common cause. Almost 100 interviews were made with key persons in the projects to find the underlying causes of defects. The causes were mainly found in how the project organisation was structured. Unstable organisations were found to create uncertainty. Four types of organisational instability were identified; gaps in vertical relationships, gaps in horizontal relationships, organisation not created in time, and changes in the organisation.The current market situation caused large time and cost pressure. It influenced how the organisation was structured and how the individuals were acting. Individual causes, as well as organisational causes, are discussed.
