Designers and builders were looking for a way they could reduce their reliance of buildings and homes using fossil fuels. There was use of solar panels for making homes more environmentally friendly though in small numbers due to their high initial costs (Patsalides, 2011)
The practice of green building has expanded and complements the classical building concerns of utility, economy, comfort and durability. Sustainable development refers to the ability of achieving a continuing economy prosperity while at the same time protecting the natural systems within the planet and providing a high quality of life for people (Katz, 2012)
GDP including the commercial, residential, industrial and the infrastructure construction. Energy efficiency will have a potential soar from $20 to $150 billion it means that close to a million jobs will be created (Loveland, 2013)
Moreover, risk analysis of the overall project also poses the danger of developing inappropriate responses." (Dey, 2002, P 13)
In a construction industry, there are various risk management requirements and identification of these requirements is critical for the successful project implementation. (El-Gafy, 2008)
Identification of those risks is very critical to manage these risks, and risk assessment is a tool that a project manager could employ to identify and manage these risks based on the project treatment. (Klemetti, 2006)
The youthful and unique style leadership approach Keating takes toward working with the students is inspiring, and is no doubt effective on their growing adolescent self-discovery. Leadership Approach of Taking Charge Without Taking Control Bennis describes the importance of taking charge without taking control to be an effective leader (Bennis, 2003, p
This paper analyzes and deconstructs several leadership styles and approaches through an examination of the films 12 Angry Men (1957) and Dead Poets Society (1997). Trait Leadership Approach The trait approaches emphasizes that research proves that there are specific traits that clearly differentiates leaders from followers (Northouse, 2010, p
In the first place have a liberal / feminist woman from UCLA teaching art history at Wellesley, one of the most conservative colleges in America, is setting the stage for conflict. According to critic Roger Ebert, the film would have been "more absorbing" if Watson and her students were "fighting their way together out of the chains of gender slavery" (Ebert, 2003)
Social construction of gender also means that within each of the two genders there are differences in status, in entitlement, in language, in knowledge, in attitude and in goals, among other differences. Social statuses are "carefully constructed through prescribed processes of teaching, learning, emulation, and enforcement" (Rothenberg, 2007)
How Construction Operates Construction has to operate properly. One thing that is done in some countries is to make the construction workers part of a union (Baskin, 1998)
The labor process has to be organized and controlled, or there will be chaos, injury, unsafe buildings, and projects that do not get completed (Steiger, 1988). There have been suggestions that safety violators not be punished, but instead be educated, so that they understand the reasons behind their unsafe acts and also the reasons why those acts must not be committed in the future (Brinderson, 1997)
One thing that is done in some countries is to make the construction workers part of a union (Baskin, 1998). That can provide them with protection, but the employees also have to participate in what is around them and consider issues such as absenteeism and how it affects both them and the company (Cox, 1994)
Civil Rights The rights of the workers and the rights of the citizens are both valuable, and they both have to be taken into account where construction work is concerned. This fosters a bargaining structure (Cullen, 1980)
Examined here will be case studies that relate to these issues, and the ways in which some of them were (and could be) solved both now and in the future. Economic Issues and Financing When it comes to economic issues and the financing of construction, how to pay for projects that are being constructed and how to ensure that money will be available for them until completion are both serious issues for many countries (Finkel, 1997)
That creates a lot of liability when it comes to keeping workers safe from harm. Worker safety is one of the most vital areas of construction (Gambatese, 1998)
Fortunately, there are several ways in which the project can go forward and be completed. One way is through the use of apprentices, instead of hiring only fully-skilled labor (Gitter, 1985)
Because they are watched over by highly-skilled individuals, they do not make many mistakes - but they do cost significantly less. However, one has to be careful about wage laws, to ensure that everyone is paid correctly and fairly (Gould & Bittlingmayer, 1980)
Most bargaining is done between unions and employers, but there is no reason that other bargains cannot be addressed. The rights of employees and citizens to be treated fairly, however, is something all construction companies must consider (Korman, et al
That can provide them with protection, but the employees also have to participate in what is around them and consider issues such as absenteeism and how it affects both them and the company (Cox, 1994). Missing a lot of work can get them fired, but it is also necessary to take a day off sometimes, because construction is very hard on a person's body (Krizan & Winston, 1996)
