Abstract

A project is a detailed series of activities within a limited timeframe aimed at achieving specific objectives. Resources such as manpower, equipment, materials, money, and time are crucial for project success. The research objective is to determine the impact of minimum production differences between equipment and labor on project completion time, costs, and profits. The completion time for the binder course work item, based on labor and equipment, is 0.83 days, with a minimum production used of 10,000 liters. Conversely, based on equipment's minimum production, the completion time is 0.47 days, with a minimum production used of 17,500 liters. This shows a difference in completion time of 0.35 days with a reduction of 0.43%. According to the Bill of Quantities (RAB) data, the project cost is lower compared to the project cost based on labor, equipment, and labor and equipment combined. The initial profit according to the Bill of Quantities data is Rp 337,328,068.10, and the profit based on minimum labor production is Rp 145,723,835.86, resulting in a profit decrease of -56.80%.

Abstract

Digital design and technology are increasingly playing an important role in the preservation of cultural heritage in Indonesia, along with the ongoing digital transformation in various cultural institutions. This phenomenon presents challenges in selecting the right technology and opportunities to create more inclusive, immersive, and contextual digital experiences. The main issue raised is the absence of a systematic approach in the application of digital technology that is in accordance with the characteristics and needs of each type of heritage, such as colonial buildings, traditional buildings, and temple buildings. This study aims to examine the contribution of design approaches in developing digital solutions for conservation and evaluate the suitability of various digital technology platforms in the context of the three categories of architectural heritage. The method used is a literature study with a comparative analysis of the application of digital technology in a number of cultural heritage sites in Indonesia. The results of the study show that each category of building has different technical, narrative, and visual needs, thus requiring a specific and targeted technological approach. A design approach integrated with software engineering principles has been proven to strengthen the effectiveness of conservation and expand the reach of education and public appreciation of cultural heritage through digital media.

Abstract

Building Information Modelling (BIM) has become a popular subject amongst professionals in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. As Nigeria develops technologically, the use of building information modeling (BIM) in delivery of building and infrastructure projects cannot be overemphasized, as it is a well-known innovative approach in project design and construction. Building information modeling (BIM) is a process of developing a virtual equivalent of the actual building that supports data exchange, management and communication during the whole building’s life cycle. The BIM software gives a digital representation of how the building will be after construction. This study provide insight into Building Information Modelling (BIM) Usage among construction professionals in Lagos State. The study adopted a pragmatic research technique that uses both qualitative and quantitative research approaches. Qualitative (secondary) data were extracted from literature and analyzed by content analysis. While quantitative (primary) data were gathered with a structured questionnaire. The primary data were collected from 252 construction professionals in the study area. This study considered level of awareness of BIM, and extent of usage of BIM in the Nigerian building construction industry; respondents’ perceived benefits of building information modeling (BIM); BIM Usage rates among construction Professionals in Lagos State; Challenges Impeding the Adoption and Usage of BIM in construction industry, Respondents’ perceived barriers to the adoption of BIM in the Nigerian construction industry. A total number of 300 questionnaires were administered systematically to professionals in Lagos, resulting in 252 valid responses analyzed for the purpose of the study. The collected data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) – Version 20 and Microsoft Analysis. Descriptive analysis techniques, such as frequency, percentage, mean item score, and relative importance index (RII). As a contribution to knowledge, the paper has established that there is a high level of knowledge of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the Nigerian Construction Industry which is associated to the high level of awareness and utilization amongst stakeholders. The paper concludes with policy recommendations to promote BIM adoption in Nigeria, including financial incentives, training programs, and awareness campaigns.

Abstract

Children are our future that need to be taken cacer of. Their number one activity is studying at school. For them to bea able to dostudying effectively, school must provide architectural facilities which are able to accommodate children’s comfort as the main building user. But around, we still see so many children’s facilities, especially schools, that haven’t considered chidren’s anthropometric dimension in their design process, hence their inability to accommodate children’s comfort in doing their activities effectively. Because of those facts, the researcher decided to do research regarding ergonomic comfort based on children’s anthropometric dimension. The chosen case study is SDN Ulujami 02. The research method is descriptive quantitative, where the measuring process is described in diagrams and paragraphs. Afetr analyzing process is done, it is concluded that there are two research variables that are considered comfortable; and one research variable is quite comfortable.

Abstract

In general, injuries have been related to different elements and parts of the home environment. That is home injury is potentially connected with primary parts of the home environment. Home wounds might result from different, simultaneous and united causes including physical, underlying, environmental, conduct, way of life, and social variables. Home injury depicts the sorts of injuries that happen in the home and its prompt environmental elements. This study examined housing elements and potential home injury risks in selected public housing estates in Lagos State, Nigeria with a view to informing design decisions for safer housing. This study aims to explore the housing elements—both architectural and environmental—that may contribute to home injury risks in selected public housing estates in Lagos State. By identifying key risk factors, the study hopes to inform policy interventions and promote safer residential environments. Systematic sampling method was employed to select 315 housing units from 8938 units in 3 purposively selected low-income estates (the largest) for questionnaire administration. Ethical approval and clearance were sought from a recognized research ethics review board/committee. Informed consent will be obtained from all participants and confidentiality and anonymity will be strictly maintained. Findings revealed that housing plays a critical role in public health and wellbeing, especially in rapidly urbanizing cities like Lagos, Nigeria. While public housing estates are established to provide affordable shelter, poor design, substandard construction, and inadequate maintenance may contribute to unintentional injuries at home. Injuries such as falls, burns, electric shocks, and poisoning often go underreported, especially in low-income communities, yet they significantly affect quality of life and productivity. The study recommended Policy and Planning (Integrating injury prevention into housing design standards); Maintenance Protocols (Regular inspections and quick repairs); Community Education (workshops on home safety) and Design Improvements (Use of non-slip materials, better lighting, child-proofing measures. The study concluded by emphasizing the link between poor housing design/maintenance and injury risk, and highlights the need for government and stakeholders to prioritize safe, habitable housing.

Abstract

The concept of biophilia is widely recognized as a way to reconnect humans with the natural environment, based on the understanding that humans are inherently part of nature. Studies have shown that this reconnection can have positive effects, including improved mood. Among school children, this benefit is often reflected in better academic performance. In architecture, the integration of natural elements is commonly linked to biophilic concepts and design patterns. This literature review examines studies conducted across various fields between 2014 and 2024. The final analysis presents methods and key findings of these studies, identifies existing research gaps, and highlights potential directions for future research in architecture.
