| Abstract: |
Research has shown that 80-90% of failure cases is caused by human and organizational factors, like communication errors. A national survey in the Netherlands revealed that critical factors within Dutch building process are: safety culture, communication and collaboration, allocation of responsibilities, risk management, control and knowledge infrastructure. This paper explores how the critical factors within building industry might be improved for both design and construction stage. |
