Systematic Evaluation of Technological New Building Products in Decision Making in Construction Secto
Journal Title: Gazi Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Dergisi Part C: Tasarım ve Teknoloji - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The strategic role of the construction sector has been developed with time, cost and quality dimensions as well as by accepting technological innovations as the fourth dimension of the competition. The effect of new products on construction sector has been formed by the response of available production resources to the requirements in terms of quantity and quality. Construction technology has been effective in the development of new products and construction of buildings. From the perspective of the construction sector, there are two main outcomes of technology as technological products and systematic arrangements related to technological products. In this sense, the concept of building technology not only includes scientific development, but also social, cultural and environmental aspects should be considered efficiently. Rapidly changing technology and besides, ever-growing alternative technologies cause difficulty for businesses organizations in choosing the appropriate technology. However, considerable competitive advantages are provided by choosing the right technology for business organizations in a complicated business environment. At the same time, new technology practices of business organizations will provide some opportunities for product mix of businesses as well as new business ideas. Technology selection means determining the most suitable technological information with respect to the economical structure, the means of production related economy, production power and production conditions of a country, and also technological information most suitable for the targets to be achieved. Decisions concerning product selection appear in all phases of the structure. Making optimal decisions depend on assuming the responsibility, fulfilling the duties by the designer who makes the decisions and also inspecting the results by the relevant institutions and calling into decision by the users. Incorrect selection of these products during the decision-making process may cause material, time and labor losses in economic terms. Also the performance conditions of the structure are affected and therefore the life of the structure shortens, its interaction with the environment is damaged, therefore negative conditions arise for the users. Due to this reason, proper selection and usage of the material with sustainable characteristics is necessary for achieving the above mentioned purposes and targets. In order to make a decision on technological new building products, a systematic decision-making process is required. In this study, in order to complete systematically the decision-making process on selection of new products in the construction sector, a model is proposed. The model consists of the evaluation of alternatives, design, and selection phases. With this suggested model, construction products suitable for time, cost, quality, performance, new technology and environment criteria can be achieved according to the criteria of selection; therefore, decisions in the construction sector will be given correctly and their usage can be widespread.
