Cross-project simulation of construction productivity for caisson fabrication
The aims are to (a) predict crew productivity improvement due to the repetitive nature
of caisson fabrication as the result of on the job learning and (b) validate the previously specially built
simulation platform CaissonSim' in different projects. More specifically, two such marine projects one in
Greece and one in Cyprus have been studied
On cognitive readiness in construction decision making
Cognitive readiness (CR) in construction is the mental, emotional and interpersonal
skills that relate to the way project teams perceive, remember, think, speak and solve problems. CR
compliments the necessary technical and contextual competences, and is necessary for making appropriate
decisions in real-world problems. The investigation of cognitive enablers and barriers as well as their
prioritization, adaptation and implementation in construction projects is the subject ofthe work described
