Abstract

During the recent years different people in charge have been considered about different costs of the plants in the construction industry. Usually it seems to be a big challenge for different people in charge and mainly contractors to decrease the costs of the projects through the optimum use of construction plants in order to increase the quality of the project and decrease time and cost. During the current study, researchers have been investigated about the construction plant use in the construction sites and also its effect on the quality and also time of the project. Forty three people in charge with the construction projects have been participated in the current survey. After analyzing the required data through SPSS software and based on the mean index of the scores five items have been identified as the most important issues in the construction management regarding the use if plants namely: The effect of spare parts availability to decrease downtime, the effect of employing expert mechanics to increase the repair quality, impact of gasoline and petrol availability to decrease wasting the time, impact of periodic control and serviceability of plants and equipment to increase productivity, impact of training persons who are involved plants and equipment to increase productivity. It goes without saying that extracted factors have significant role in the construction projects and different contractors should consider them in their projects.

Highlights

  • Different parts of the construction industry, such as executive part usually believe that the construction plant has different costs which requires different utilizations in order to make it efficient in the construction sites (Edwards et al, 1998a)

  • Different improvements in the construction industry has been happened, different people in charge with construction industry have been done different activities in order to increase the productivity of the construction sites and decreasing the costs of the projects (Arditi et al, 1997)

  • In order to utilize the plant different people in charge with construction projects may have different costs. It usually has different costs like plant ownership and different costs related to its maintenance

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Different parts of the construction industry, such as executive part usually believe that the construction plant has different costs which requires different utilizations in order to make it efficient in the construction sites (Edwards et al, 1998a). Different improvements in the construction industry has been happened, different people in charge with construction industry have been done different activities in order to increase the productivity of the construction sites and decreasing the costs of the projects (Arditi et al, 1997). In order to utilize the plant different people in charge with construction projects may have different costs. (It should be noted that: usually the plant manager term refers to the construction related activities and works) (Edwards and Holt, 2009).
