Abstract:

The interfaces during the construction phase usually cause reworks and conflicts among different project participants. In order to improve construction management, it is necessary to track and solved interfaces when these interfaces will influence the construction works. In practice, the interface information is usually available in related participants and few interfaces sharing and tracking are supported among participants. In order to improve the interface management in construction projects, this study proposes the approaches to enhance interface management effectively in the construction phase of a project. The proposed approaches have been applied in selected case study of a construction building project in Taiwan to verify our proposed approaches and demonstrate the effectiveness of interface management in the construction phase. Based on cast study, results indicate that construction interface management can be improved effectively. Furthermore, benefits of implementation and facing problems during the test have been discussed in this study.
