Abstract

The objective of this study is to propose an integrated lifting model of planning and operation for finishing works in tall building construction. The model consists of five components: lifting schedule chart, lifting load leveling, lifting equipment planning, lifting TACT and lifting table. The model was designed to provide a more practical lifting planning and operating method for construction managers as well as to cope with unexpected schedule delays. To validate the proposed model, a case study was performed in building a construction project; questionnaires were distributed in order to evaluate its effectiveness compared with the original method. A case study showed the following results. (1) The model is estimated to provide more practical lifting planning alternatives compared with the original method to construction managers. (2) The model can be a valuable management tool in terms of the lifting operation of construction lift. (3) The model can be provide an effective method to cope with unexpected situations through the integration of lifting planning and operation. Therefore, It is expected that the proposed model can be employed as practical means to the planning and operation of construction lift at construction sites.
