Examensarbetets syfte är att visa skillnader mellan det traditionella platsgjutna byggandet av broar gentemot prefabbroar. Fokus ligger på arbetsmiljö, kvalitet, miljö, tid och kostnad samt beställarnas inställning mot prefabricerade betongbroar. Att undersöka var produktionen av betongelement är lämpligast. Jämförelsen sker mellan tillverkning in situ eller i fabrik samt utreda framtidsutsikterna

Flexibility in construction and properties has become all the more common over the last years. Facilities are a resource and it is the facility provider’s job to provide functional and useful facilities to the core activity. To be able to satisfy the tenants needs, flexible facilities in a favorable is needed as the tenants area of business will with all probability change over the years. New inst

The land development process is usually known as a very complex and drawn-out process. During the latest decade, the system of municipal development has become more market-oriented and the responsibility has shifted from public to private sector. The property developer takes a great financial risk each time a new project is initiated by not knowing when or if a detailed development plan will be ap

Today the amonut of new construktions are almost at the same level as in the “miljon program” therfore the way of building the construktions have gone to more and more prefabricated. The construcktionsite have more and more gone to become a place there finsiched elements comes and are being merged with others. This demands that we hold tolerances of every element/ field very well. Scientific assi

Development within the construction industry has traditionally been slow. However, during recent years construction companies have felt a greater pressure to become more efficient and to lower building-costs. One step in the development has been the adjustment towards the usage of model-based design. By constructing the final product as a computer model, construction companies hope to reduce build

Production companies are often exposed to rapid change and turbulent business environments, whilst the facilities and premises they conduct their business from are long term commitments with a lower turnover rate than most other assets. Decisions regarding real estate are complicated by nature and often yield long term consequences which could be hard to forecast. This dilemma between short- and l

This thesis discusses the problem of estimating smoothed expectations of sums of additive functionals of sequences of hidden states in general hidden Markov models. To compute expectations of this sort, the smoothing distribution, i.e. the conditional distribution of the hidden states given the corresponding observations, needs to be approximated. This thesis proposes a new algorithm to achieve th

The aim with this master thesis is to investigate how the case company should implement a deviation-handling that will motivate employees, encourage to constant improvements and give a god communication in an industrial construction concept. The specified goal with this thesis is to study the industrial construction concept and: Investigate the notion deviation. Study the handling process of dev

The older people of tomorrow, today in an age between 50 and 64 years, are a key group at the Swedish housing market. This group are soon becoming one fifth of the Swedish population and the share of retired are going to increase with 22 percent (374 000 persons) among a ten-year period. Their choice of dwelling for the future will have great effects on the housing market. For the older caseload t

The purpose with the master's thesis is to study the cooperation between two units within a concern and also to emphasise the improvement proposal which improves the cooperation. The ambition with the master's thesis is to give improvement proposals that, with implementation, can contribute to a more efficient cooperation between the units.

Presentation of the problem: How can one optimize and make managers’ working situation more efficient in a time with more severe strain, and at the same time maintain a good psychosocial working environment? What is required to make a manager feel satisfied with his working situation, and at the same time encourage him/her to take an active part in an effective building process? Purpose: The purp

This report has its purpose in evaluate iLink as a calculation tool and a possible implementation of the program. iLink operates with Building Information Models. A research of BIM use and futural possibilities were also done.

Plastered facades with sealing in one layer had a lot of attention in the Swedish mass media during the spring of 2007, as a flawed facade system causing a lot of damages. The system has been used a lot in Sweden during the last decade. The purpose of this master thesis is to investigate how this objective system could be used in Sweden for such a long time before the damages were discovered. By

By working in the commercial direction unity I will have to realize a study about demands and possibilities in construction field in a sustainable perspective. The goal: adapt Habitat social propositions to the sustainable construction needs. - ”Grenelle de l’environnement” (summit conference about environmental issues in Fance), diagnostic of buildings efficiency, new regulations about energy con

Inom byggbranschen råder jargongen 70 vitt och 30 svart. Genom att använda svartarbetskraft sparas mycket pengar in, arbetsavgifter på 30 procent, moms på 25 procent samt inkomstskatt slipper betalas. Detta drabbar de seriösa aktörerna negativt och bidrar negativt till den sunda konkurrensen. De senaste åren har svartarbetet blivit mer organiserat och som en följd har hot, våld och korruption inom

I alla tider har det varit viktigt med kommunikation mellan olika individer och instanser för att få samhället att fungera. Detsamma gäller på en arbetsplats. Fungerar kommunikationen mellan olika grupper/individer bra så underlättar detta arbetet avsevärt. För att få en fungerande kommunikation mellan olika typer av grupper måste gruppdynamiken för den samlade storgruppen fungera väl. För att den

Vårt boende handlar inte bara om själva bostaden utan även till en stor del om miljön utanför huset i våra omgivningar. Vår miljö är en komplex sammansättning av många olika faktorer. Det finns en stor utmaning i en ökad kännedom hur dessa verkar tillsammans, detta kan liknas vid att få pusselbitar att verka tillsammans som ett pussel. Kunskaper om vilka faktorer som tillför fastigheter ett mervär

Vid köp av nyproducerad bostad uppstår ett antal frågeställningar för kunden. Motiv till varför man väljer att köpa nyproducerat jämfört med begagnat kan vara att man slipper tänka på renoveringar och får ett mer lättskött boende. Liknande frågor och vilka motiv till varför köparen gör detta val vill säljaren veta för att lättare kunna anpassa bostadsområden för rätt målgrupp. Syftet med examensar

En modern byggarbetsplats oavsett om byggobjektet är ett enfamiljshus, industrilokal eller mer omfattande som idrottsanläggningar och bostadskomplex präglas det av en strävan efter rationella och kostnadseffektiva lösningar för att med högsta möjlighet kunna uppfylla de avtal som har slutits mellan huvudentreprenör och kund. Men vanligtvis tycks byggnadskalkylerna med få undantag alltid överskrida
