Kim, T-y (2001) Trends of selected construction industry practices. PhD thesis, University of Texas at Austin, USA.
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop a process for identifying trends of Construction Industry Institute (CII) best practices. Six CII best practices are addressed in this study: pre-project planning, constructability, design/information technology, team building, and safety. The influences of project cost and project complexity on CII best practice use are investigated when identifying trends.

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
