Optimizing handover of as-built data using BIM for highways (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Bayar, M., Aziz, Z., Tezel, B., Arayici, Y., & Biscaya, S. (2016, September). Optimizing handover of as-built data using BIM for highways. Presented at 1st International (UK) BIM Academic Forum Conference, Glasgow UK

An efficient maintenance of the UK’s transportation network is of critical importance to the country’s economy and among the top priorities of the government and public agencies (e.g. Network Rail, Highways England). The public transportation agencie... Read More about Optimizing handover of as-built data using BIM for highways.

Integrated framework for early warning system in UAE (2016)
Journal Article
Alhmoudi, A., & Aziz, Z. (2016). Integrated framework for early warning system in UAE. International Journal of Disaster Resilience in the Built Environment, 7(4), 361-373. https://doi.org/10.1108/IJDRBE-08-2015-0040

Purpose - The impacts and costs of natural disasters on people, properties and environment is often severe when they occur on a large scale and with no warning system in place. The lack of deployment of early warning system, low risk and hazard... Read More about Integrated framework for early warning system in UAE.

Visual management condition in highways construction projects in England (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Tezel, B., Aziz, Z., Koskela, L., & Tzortzopoulos Fazenda, P. (2016, July). Visual management condition in highways construction projects in England. Presented at 24th Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction, Boston, USA

Lean construction has recently gained momentum in England’s highways construction supply chain. The literature indicates that the current view to Visual Management (VM) within those lean implementations is limited to some VM tools. This paper explore...

Benefits of visual management in the transportation sector (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Tezel, B., Aziz, Z., Koskela, L., & Tzortzopoulos Fazenda, P. (2016, July). Benefits of visual management in the transportation sector. Presented at 24th Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction., Boston, USA

This paper explores the benefits of Visual Management (VM), a fundamental sensory information management strategy in the lean production system, in the transportation sector in England. Lean construction and VM have recently gained momentum in Englan... Read More about Benefits of visual management in the transportation sector.

Mobile computing applications within construction (2016)
Book Chapter
Aziz, Z., Harun, N., & Alaboud, N. (2016). Mobile computing applications within construction. In S. Perera, B. Ingirige, K. Ruikar, & E. Obonyo (Eds.), Advances in Construction ICT and e-business. Routledge. https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315690698

Given the fact that construction sites comprise dynamic and unstructured work environments and hazardous work settings, it necessitates the use of intelligent ways to support mobile construction workers. In recent years, there have been significant d... Read More about Mobile computing applications within construction.

BIM based design management of a building project collaboratively designed with a foreign design firm in China : a case study (2016)
Journal Article
Aziz, Z., Tezel, B., & chuxiong, J. (2016). BIM based design management of a building project collaboratively designed with a foreign design firm in China : a case study. International journal of 3-D information modeling (Online), 5(2), 16-38. https://doi.org/10.4018/IJ3DIM.2016040102

In parallel with China’s growing construction market, there has been an influx of foreign architectural and engineering design firms into the Chinese construction market. Those firms generally form partnerships with local Chinese firms or institution...
