Telem, D; Shapira, A; Goren, Y D and Schexnayder, C J (2006) Moving a reinforced-concrete building: Case study. Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 132(2), pp. 115-124. ISSN 0733-9364
Abstract
The project management team directing the construction of a concrete building learned during the last stages of construction that the building encroached by 190 cm into the permit specified setback. This case study discusses how the Internet was used to aid the contractor in addressing the problem and the particular solution adopted for moving the building. The steps taken by the project management team from the moment the problem was discovered through moving the building to its correct location are described. Practitioners can learn much from the creative approach used by this project team to find a solution to the challenges of such a unique problem.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
