Machine Learning Regression Techniques (MLRT) as a shrewd method can be utilized in this study being exceptionally fruitful in demonstrating non-linear and the interrelationships among them in problems of construction projects such as the earned value indexes for tall buildings projects in Republic of Iraq. Three forecasting models were developed to foresee Schedule Performance Index (SPI) as first model, Cost Performance Index (CPI) as a second model, and the third model is To Complete Cost Performance Indicator (TCPI) in Bismayah New City was chosen as a case study. The methodology is mainly impacted by the deciding various components (variables) which impact on the earned value analysis, six free factors (X1: BAC, Budget at Completion; X2: AC, Actual Cost; X3: A%, Actual Percentage; X4: EV, Earned Value; X5: P%, Planning Percentage, and X6: PV, Planning Value) were self-assertively assigned and agreeably depicted for per tall buildings projects. It was found that the MLRT showed good results of estimation in terms of correlation coeffi cient (R) generated by MLR models for SPI and CPI and TCPI where the R were 85.5%, 89.2%, and 86.3% respectively. At long last, a result tends to be presumed that these models show a brilliant concurrence with the genuine estimations.

This manuscript provides a robust framework for the extraction of common structural components, such as columns, from terrestrial laser scanning point clouds acquired at regular rectangular concrete construction projects. The proposed framework utilizes geometric primitive as well as relationship-based reasoning between objects to semantically label point clouds. The framework then compares the extracted objects to the planned building information model (BIM) to automatically identify the as-built schedule and dimensional discrepancies. A novel method was also developed to remove redundant points of a newly acquired scan to detect changes between consecutive scans independent of the planned BIM. Five sets of point cloud data were acquired from the same construction site at different time intervals to assess the effectiveness of the proposed framework. In all datasets, the framework successfully extracted 132 out of 133 columns and achieved an accuracy of 98.79% for removing redundant surfaces. The framework successfully determined the progress of concrete work at each epoch in both activity and project levels through earned value analysis. It was also shown that the dimensions of 127 out of the 132 columns and all the slabs complied with those in the planned BIM.

Application Earned Value Management (EVM) as a construction project control technique is not very common in the Republic of Iraq, in spite of the benefit from EVA to the schedule control and cost control of construction projects. One of the goals of the present study is the employment machine intelligence techniques in the estimation of earned value; also this study contributes to extend the cognitive content of study fields associated with the earned value, and the results of this study are considered a robust incentive to try and do complementary studies, or to simulate a similar study in alternative new technologies. This paper is aiming at introducing a novel and alternative method of applying Artificial Intelligence Techniques (AIT) for earned value management of the construction projects through using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to build mathematical models to be used to estimate the Schedule Performance Index (SPI), Cost Performance Index (CPI) and to Complete Cost Performance Indicator (TCPI) in Iraqi residential buildings before and at execution stage through using web-based software to perform the calculations in the estimation quickly, accurately and without effort. ANN technique was utilized to produce new prediction models by applying the Backpropagation algorithm through Neuframe software. Finally, the results showed that the ANN technique shows excellent results of estimation when it is compared with MLR techniques. The results were interpreted in terms of Average Accuracy (AA%) equal to 83.09, 90.83, and 82.88%, also, correlation coefficient (R) equal to 90.95, 93.00, and 92.30% for SPI, CPI and TCPI respectively. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091666 Full Text: PDF

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk untuk mengevaluasi kinerja proyek pembangunan Rumah Sakit Banyumanik II serta memberikan rekomendasi penjadwalan ulang atas pelaksanaan proyek teresebut. Penilaian kinerja proyek pembangunan Rumah Sakit Banyumanik II akan dilakukan dengan menggunakan Earned Value Analysis (EVA), sedangkan penjadwalan ulang atas pelaksanaan pekerjaan proyek tersebut akan dilakukan dengan menggunakan metoda Project Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT). Hasil penilaian kinerja proyek dengan menggunakan EVA menunjukkan bahwa pada hari 315, kinerja proyek kurang baik. Perbandingan antara estimasi nilai (value) pekerjaan fisik yang sebenarnya yang telah selesai dengan porsi total estimasi biaya yang sudah disetujui untuk dikeluarkan untuk proyek  selama 315 hari (scheduling performance index) memiliki nilai  kurang dari 1 (76,8%). Pengerjaan proyek tertinggal dari jadwal yang telah ditetapkan. Perbandingan nilai antara estimasi nilai (value) pekerjaan fisik yang sebenarnya yang telah selesai dengan biaya total langsung maupun tidak langsung yang digunakan dalam rangka menyelesaikan proyek sesuai aktivitasnya (cost performance index) selama 315 hari memiliki nilai kurang dari 1 (91,8%). Biaya proyek melebihi biaya yang dianggarkan sampai dengan periode tersebut. Selanjutnya, terdapat beberapa skenario untuk penyelesaian proyek apabila  penjadwalan ulang atas sisa kegiatan dari  proyek dilakukan dengan mengacu pada kondisi proyek pada hari ke-315. Jika sisa kegiatan proyek dipercepat dan proyek dapat diselesaikan dalam kurun waktu 117 hari, maka total biaya yang diperlukan adalah Rp.4.787.828.482, Jika sisa kegiatan proyek  dipercepat dan proyek dapat diselesaikan dalam kurun waktu 113 hari, maka biaya yang diperlukan adalah Rp  4.800.288.482, Jika sisa kegiatan proyek  dipercepat dan proyek dapat diselesaikan dalam kurun waktu 103 hari, maka biaya yang diperlukan adalah Rp.5.014.688.482. Jika sisa kegiatan proyek  dipercepat dan proyek dapat diselesaikan dalam kurun waktu 102 hari, maka baiya yang diperlukan adalah Rp.5.053.453.482; dan jika sia kegiatan proyek  dipercepat dan proyek dapat diselesaikan dalam kurun waktu 94 hari maka biaya yang diperlukana adalah Rp.5.397.573.482. AbstractThis study aims to evaluate the performance of the construction project of Banyumanik II Hospital and provide some recommendations for project rescheduling. Earned Value Analysis (EVA) is used as a method for evaluating a project performance; whereas, Project Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)are used as a method for project rescheduling. The result of the evaluation of project performance using EVA shows that the construction project of Banyumanik Hospital II has poor performance on day 315. The comparison between the estimation of the original budget that has been earned by actual work completed and the planned time-phased baseline of the value of the work scheduled (scheduling performance index) on day 315 less than 1 (76.8%). Its mean the project behind the schedule. The comparison between the estimation of the original budget that has been earned by actual work completed and actual cost of the work completed on day 315 also less than 1 (91,8%. Its mean the project over cost. Then, based on the condition of the construction project on day 315,  we can make some scenario of project completion. If the project is completed in 117 days,  the total cost for remaining activity  will be IDR  4.787.828.482. If the  project is completed in 113 days, the total cost for remaining activity will be IDR.  4.800.288.482, If the project is completed in 103 days, the total cost for remaining activity will be IDR. 5.014.688.482. If the project is completed in 102 day, the total cost for remaining activity will be Rp.5.053.453.482; and if the project is completed in 94 days, the total cost for remaining activity will be IDR. 5.397.573.482.
