Effective information management is critical to the success of construction projects, yet
the industry continues to face persistent challenges in this area. This study aims to
investigate common challenges hindering efficient information management in
construction projects, design a conceptual framework to address these challenges, and
promote teamwork to facilitate effective information management throughout the
project lifecycle. The research methodology involved a systematic literature review and
interviews with key relevant stakeholders in the construction industry. The literature
review encompassed academic papers, reports, and grey literature, ensuring a reliable
and scholarly foundation for the investigation. The interviews involved professionals
from construction companies, experts in information management, and relevant project
stakeholders, providing a diverse representation of expertise within the industry. The
study found that incomplete, inaccurate, or poorly defined information often leads to
suboptimal decision-making, operational inefficiencies, and a reduction in the quality
of facility operation and maintenance. The proposed framework is designed to establish
a structured approach to information management in the construction industry, aligning
closely with the real-world needs and challenges identified during the interview
process. It is based on the principles and guidelines outlined in the ISO 19650 standard
and can potentially provide practical solutions and recommended tools to facilitate the
seamless implementation of the standard. The framework promotes teamwork and
collaboration among stakeholders, ensuring that information is communicated
transparently and exchanged with the appropriate individuals at the right time. By
addressing the persistent challenges in information management, the proposed
framework can help construction projects achieve success and deliver value to
customers.

Naturum Haverdal
(2023) Gabrielsson, Magnus; Chalmers tekniska högskola / Institutionen för arkitektur och samhällsbyggnadsteknik (ACE); Chalmers tekniska högskola / Institutionen för arkitektur och samhällsbyggnadsteknik (ACE); Gross, Björn; Rem, Filip
The vastness of the ocean, the sound of waves crashing on the shore, and the
subtle hues of green of the windswept trees. A sense of calmness and peace of
mind. For many people, nature is a sanctuary. To preserve especially significant
natural areas, the concept of nature reserves emerged in the 19th century.
Haverdal Nature Reserve, north of Halmstad, is one of the oldest in Halland
County. Some of the most prominent characteristics of this coastal site include
a vast stretch of beach that gradually transitions into undulating sand dunes,
patchy fields of grass, reed, and mythical pine forests.
Apart from being a significant biotope, Haverdal is also an appreciated recreational
area. To emphasize the importance of protecting this unique and fragile
environment for future generations, knowledge is crucial. Therefore, the result of
this thesis is a speculative design proposal for a naturum in Haverdal, a visitor
center focusing on educating about the local ecosystem and cultural history.
The initial phase of the investigation involves defining naturum as a concept,
providing a brief history and analysis of the site, including its unique ecological,
historical, and geographical conditions. Following this, two built reference projects
are studied. The result is the identification of four design principles, which
are then tested and implemented in a final design proposal.
