The article deals with the main directions of solving the problem of insufficient investment attractiveness of industrial construction in the Irkutsk region. A lot of research is devoted to the improvement of investment attractiveness and competitiveness of construction projects. Investments are considered not only as a source for economic growth, but also as a factor of competitiveness of regional economy and construction. The article highlights the main problems and prospects of development to raise the investment attractiveness of regional construction projects. The author has reviewed the impact of investment attractiveness on the formation of con-competitive advantages of a territory. Increasing the investment attractiveness of industrial construction can be achieved through the implementation of a set of measures providing for: the development of the regulatory and legislative framework governing investment relations in construction; improvement of the organizational and economic mechanism, including tools for managing investment projects in industrial construction; integration of programs of the state support and stimulation of creation of industrial parks, construction of objects of infrastructure, engineering preparation in borders of the land plot allocated for building.

Purpose The main purpose of this paper is to identify high-value, low-effort solution strategies to common commissioning and startup (CSU) problems experienced during industrial construction projects. Design/methodology/approach Data on the value provided by solution strategies and effort required to implement them were collected from 35 industry experts via an electronic survey. The authors used a PICK (Possible, Implement, Challenge and Kill) chart two-axis modeling method to distinguish high-value, low-effort strategies from among the set of 178 possible solution strategies to the 20 most common CSU problem activities. Findings A total of 38 strategies were identified by industry experts as both high-value and low-effort solutions to the most common CSU problems experienced on industrial construction projects. The 20 common CSU problems had an average of almost nine solution strategies each, of which an average of almost two were identified as high-value, low-effort. Research limitations/implications The research findings are limited to industrial-type construction projects; however, parallels may exist with heavy civil, commercial and other types of construction. The sample size was relatively small but in accord with other CSU surveys. Practical implications Managers are provided a list of 38 highly effective strategies to use when they encounter common CSU problems. By implementing these strategies, managers will provide their projects with more benefit for less investment. Originality/value Although several studies have identified solution strategies to CSU problems, none have sought to differentiate between strategies. This study distinguishes between an extensive set of 178 strategies along both effort and value metrics, identifying high-value, low-effort strategies using a novel application of the PICK chart model.

Survey Approach

Adopting a good pre-project planning or front-end loading method during the early stage of construction is important to the success of the project. However, most construction projects have failed as a result of poor project planning at their early stage. Based on this knowledge, this study assessed the challenges facing the use of front-end loading. The study adopted a quantitative survey approach and questionnaire was used to harness information on the objective of the study from construction professionals in Gauteng Province, South Africa. Data gathered were analysed using statistical tools such as percentage, mean score and standard deviation. Findings revealed that the major challenges affecting the use of front-end loading are inability to identify importance of the process, unreliable information during early project stages, insufficient time to thoroughly carry out the front-end loading process, indecisiveness or lack of knowledge by the client, and lack of structured project team during inception phases of the project. It is therefore recommended that the construction clients be made aware of the importance of front-end loading, while project team members should be introduced to the project from the early stage of the project.

The article examines the actual state of the hospital network in Kyiv, offers proposals for its further territorial development, which are based on the current and future needs and capabilities of residents and managers of the city, nearby settlements. The study is part of a comprehensive study of the problem of urban planning foundations of the territorial and spatial development of the system of healthcare institutions and is aimed at finding the optimization of the existing material fund of medical institutions. The city of Kyiv is the capital of our state and, at the same time, its largest city, which historically has the largest number of hospitals among Ukrainian cities. There are historical architectural monuments among Kyiv’s hospitals, but most of the facilities were built during the Soviet era in Ukraine according to typical industrial construction projects. The current state of the network of hospitals in Kyiv does not correspond to either the world indicators for the provision of beds per 100 thousand of the population (significantly exceeds), or the quality of medical care, or the comfortable conditions for the implementation of treatment. Unfortunately, Ukraine is not able (and it is not necessary) to maintain the functioning of all hospitals that were built before and during Soviet times - the number of the population has significantly decreased, medical standards have changed, and most importantly, it is necessary to develop a network of prehospital institutions. So, the article contains proposals for optimizing the hospital network of the city of Kyiv, which, on the one hand, are aimed at removing individual hospitals from mono-state funding, and on the other, expanding the possibilities of treating children in a larger number of city hospitals.

Since the reform and opening up, Chinese economy has developed rapidly. Industrial and civil construction projects have made significant progress. That said, it is of great significance to further strengthen the construction management of industrial and civil construction projects for the long-term development of construction industry in China. In terms of reality, one of the common problems in the current industrial and civil construction is wall cracks, which will have an important impact on the appearance of the building and the overall construction quality. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the reasons and put forward corresponding measures on it. That is how we can continuously improve the construction quality in civil and industrial construction projects, thereby achieving the enhancement of building safety and stability.
