An examination of Thai practitioners’ perceptions of risk assessment techniques in real estate development projects

Owing to the existence of risks in real estate development projects, there is a need for risk assessment techniques that can be used to evaluate their impact. Using Thailand as a case study, this article examines the expectations of real estate practitioners regarding risk assessment techniques. It also examines their perception of risks caused by social, technological, environmental, economic and political factors. The article is based on an exploratory survey, and data were collected through questionnaires and interviews with representatives of Thai real estate development companies. Bivariate or correlatives tests were carried out. The study revealed that Thai practitioners are concerned with the impact of economic and political risks, and that there are no systematic risk assessment techniques to deal with their consequences. Therefore, risk assessment techniques need to be developed. This article proposes an analytical network process model that can be used to assess the impact of risks in the Thai real estate industry.

An analysis of the long‐run impact of fixed income and equity market performance on Australian and UK securitised property markets

PurposeGiven the mixed findings in the literature, this paper aims to re‐examine the relationship that the securitised property market has with both the fixed income and general stock markets in the UK and Australia from July 1998 to June 2006.Design/methodology/approachThe base methodology is the cointegration procedure developed by Inoue in conjunction with the procedure developed by Johansen, Gonzalo and Granger that allows the extraction of permanent and transitory driving factors underlying cointegrated systems. In Australia both listed property trusts (LPTs) and real estate management and development companies (REMDs) are studied, while in the UK the analysis is restricted to REMDs due to the fact that real estate investment trusts were only introduced in 2007, hence providing insufficiently long series.FindingsThe Inoue test reveals that ignoring structural breaks in any cointegrating system may lead to erroneous inferences. In both Australia and the UK securitised property is influenced by the general stock market in both the long‐ and short‐term. In Australia the fixed income market does not have a permanent influence on LPTs, despite the fact that LPTs use more long‐term debt than REMDs.Originality/valueA major contribution of this study clearly points to the relative weightings that portfolio managers may now consider to be appropriate vis‐a´‐vis their holdings of bonds, equities and securitised property (under its different structures as considered here) in their portfolios for both their tactical and strategic asset allocations.

A COORDENAÇÃO DE PROJETOS DE EDIFICAÇÕES: ESTUDOS DE CASO

Este artigo apresenta a síntese de uma dissertação de mestrado sobre coordenação de projetos, realizado num programa de pós-graduação em construção civil. Nas atividades de coordenação são enfocadas a gestão da coordenação, relativa ao planejamento e ao gerenciamento do processo de projeto; e a coordenação técnica, referente à integração e ao desenvolvimento dos projetos, promovidas através das reuniões de coordenação, da compatibilização e da análise crítica. Os estudos de caso em duas construtoras e incorporadoras de grande porte e em três escritórios de projeto permitem caracterizar as práticas adotadas para a coordenação de projetos, conforme as alternativas empregadas para a sua realização (interna, externa ou terceirizada, além da consultoria em coordenação). Palavras-chaves: projeto de engenharia; projetos de edificações; coordenação de projetos. THE COORDINATION OF BUILDING DESIGNS: CASES ABSTRACT This work presents the synthesis of a master's degree dissertation about the design coordination. The case studies in two real estate development companies and in three building design offices made it possible to characterize the practices adopted for the design coordination, according to the alternatives used for its accomplishment. It were identified four alternatives, the design coordination accomplished interns or externally to the technical staff of the companies, the outsourced design coordination, besides the consultancy in coordination. In the academic middle the term consultancy was used to refer to the service of outsourced. The study of the companies allowed to distinguish the work of those two modalities of design coordination. In the coordination activities, the focus is on the coordination management, related to the planning and to the management of design process, and on the technical coordination, regarding the integration and the design development, all of them being promoted through the coordination meetings, the compatibilization and the critical analysis. Keywords: engineering design; building design; design coordination.
