I byggbranschen arbetar man ofta i projekt där ett flertal olika parter samarbetar. Det är viktigt att samarbetet fungerar väl för att uppnå ett sådant positivt resultat som möjligt. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att studera hur samarbetet fungerar, kan förbättras och utvecklas mellan beställare, huvudentreprenör och underentreprenör på ett byggföretag. För att kunna utveckla det gemensamma arbetet är det viktigt att undersöka de vanligaste problemen och bristerna som kan uppstå. Genomförandet har skett genom intervjuer med utvalda parter i de projekten som studerats för att få en så klar och rättvis bild som möjligt av hur det fungerar, samt var styrkorna och svagheterna ligger. Tre projekt med stor variation har studerats i detta arbete för att kunna lokalisera och verifiera de vanligast förekommande problemen då man arbetar tillsammans. Några av de viktigaste aspekterna för ett positivt samarbete är att ha en god kommunikation, en genomtänkt planering inför projektstarten och en välgjord tidplan. Det är även mycket viktigt att samtliga parter vet innebörden av sin roll och håller sig till sitt ansvarsområde. Det är viktigt att Byggtech vårdar om sitt förtroende de har byggt upp hos sina beställare då deras affärsidé är beroende av fasta samarbeten med avtalade uppdragsgivare. Slutsatser som kan dras i detta examensarbete är att tydlighet, gemensamma riktlinjer och en god kommunikation är viktigt för att samarbetet mellan alla parter ska kunna utvecklas i positiv riktning. / In the construction branch you often work with projects where multiple parties cooperate. It’s important that the collaboration between the parties works well to achieve a positive result. Our aim with this thesis is to study how cooperation works, can be improved and developed between client, contractors and subcontractors on a construction company. In order to develop the joint work, you have to examine the common problems and deficiencies that may arise.   The implementation has been done through interviews with selected partners in the projects studied in order to obtain as complete and accurate as possible of what works and where the strengths and weaknesses are. The projects with wide variation have been studied in this thesis in order to locate and verify the most common problems when collaborating.   Some of the most important aspects of positive cooperation is to have a good communication, smart planning before the project begin and a well-managed schedule. It’s also very important that all the parties know the meaning of their role and stick to their responsibility. It’s fundamental that Byggtech cares for the trust they have build with their clients as their business depends on a solid partnership with the contracted clients.   The conclusions that have been drawn from this thesis are that clarity, common guidelines and a good communication are important to have a good collaboration between all the parties in order to develop the collaboration in a positive course.

Planning of material handling in limited spaces has become more relevant in the construction industry and since material cannot always be delivered at the right time in the right place, a delay in the flow chain is created. Each construction site has unique conditions and thus different solutions.In this thesis, four workplaces at Peab have been visited and inspected. The purpose of the thesis was to explore the problems that arise with the logistics in a limited space and find solutions that can be implemented on future construction projects.The aim of the study was to find the common factors that exist for the workplaces within a small area and find ways of working that can change the planning and execution of logistics.Surveys to professional workers and interviews with site managers and supervisors contributed with information to the report.After compiling the thesis work, the result shows that there are opportunities to change the working method of the work management to increase efficiency and productivity.In the study, it appears that there is a lack of communication in the workplaces as a large number of workers do not know when the next delivery of material takes place. In addition, the professional workers admit that they did not have a great influence over the business. Recommended solutions that were developed in the study were experience feedback and further development of the APD plan.

Som en följd av att byggbranschen implementerar och använder sig av BIM har nya yrkesroller skapats för att hantera och leda arbetet. Forskning har visat att det råder en osäkerhet gällande dessa yrkesroller, vilka arbetsuppgifter och vilka faser de ska vara delaktig i. BIM används generellt sett i större utsträckning i projekteringsfasen än produktionsfasen, samtidigt visar forskning att det finns fördelar om BIM används genom alla faser. Denna studie har undersökt hur det i planeringen inför produktion skulle kunna gå att använda sig av BIM, vilka förutsättningar som finns och vilken roll som ska leda arbetet. Baserat på en intervjustudie presenteras fyra arbetsgångar gällande några av produktionsplaneringens områden: Arbetsmiljö, APD-plan, Tidsplan, Kalkyl och hur dessa skulle kunna genomföras med stöd av BIM. I en enkätstudie har sedan platschefer, arbetsledare och kalkylatorer fått svara på frågor angående inställning, förutsättningar och ledarskap kopplat till arbetsgångarna. Fallstudien visar att det finns goda förutsättningar att använda BIM i produktionsplanering då de anställda ser en stor nytta och är positiva till att arbeta med stöd av BIM. Samtidigt konstateras att kunskapsnivå är blandad och skiljer mellan områdena vilket kan skapa ett hinder i implementeringen. För att arbeta med stöd av BIM anses den nya rollen, i studien kallad BIM-ledare, som viktig. I arbetet med kalkyl, där de anställda visar en högre erfarenhet och kunskap om BIM än övriga områden, anses BIM-ledaren framförallt behövas som tekniskt stöd. I övriga områden anses BIM-ledaren istället ha en mer närvarande roll och vara delaktig i framtagandet. BIM-ledaren anses behöva ha stor erfarenhet av byggprocessen. På vilken yrkesroll ansvaret för modellen skall ligga på i produktionsplanering finns en osäkerhet där BIM-ledare, platschef och projekteringsledare är tänkbara kandidater. Baserat på personalens bedömda engagemang och kompetens har studien utifrån teorin om situationsanpassat ledarskap presenterat olika ledarstilar som kan ses som vägledning för BIM-ledaren. För arbetet med kalkyl rekommenderas en delegerande ledarstil, för arbetet med arbetsmiljö och APD-planeringen en coachande och stödjande ledarstil medan arbetet med tidplan en mer instruerande ledarstil. / As a result of the AEC industry implementing and using BIM, new roles have been created to manage and lead the work. Research has shown that there are uncertainties regarding these roles, which tasks they should perform and which phases they will be involved in. BIM is generally used more during the design phase than the production phase, even though research shows that there are advantages if BIM is used throughout all phases. This study has investigated how the planning for production could make use of BIM, the conditions for implementation and the role that will manage the work. Based on an interview study, four areas of production planning: safety planning, site planning, time scheduling and calculation are examined. A scenario for each area and how these could be implemented with BIM is presented followed by a survey of the employees working on the matters and their thoughts and their attitude towards it. The case study shows that there are good conditions for using BIM in production planning as employees see great benefits and are positive about working with BIM. At the same time, it is noted that knowledge levels differentiate between the employees and between the areas, which can create an obstacle to the implementation. The BIM manager is considered important in all four areas. In the work with calculations, where employees show a higher experience and knowledge level of BIM than other areas, the role is considered to be needed as mostly technical support. In other areas, BIM managers are considered to take more part of the work process. They show that the BIM manager is considered to have extensive experience in construction. There is an uncertainty about the responsibility for the model in production planning where the BIM manager, site manager and design manager are all considered for the task. Based on the employees estimated commitment and competence, the study has presented different leadership styles with respect to the theory of situational leadership. This could be seen as guidance for the BIM manager. For the work with calculations, a delegating leadership style is recommended, for safety and site planning a coaching and supporting leadership style is recommended. For the work with time scheduling a more directing leadership style is recommended.

I projekteringsfasen utformas en arbetsplatsdispositionsplan (APD-plan), vilket fungerar som en översiktlig illustration av byggarbetsplatsen. Denna ritning visualiserar de byggnader som finns på plats och visar var bland annat upplagsytor för material, transportvägar och bodetablering kan identifieras. För närvarande är 2D-ritningar den dominerande och mest frekvent använda typen av APD-planer. Det finns ytterligare dimensioner som kan adderas på en APD-plan, i denna studie undersöks de nästkommande dimensionerna, volym (3D) samt tidsaspekten (4D). För att analysera de utmaningar, möjligheter och värdet som en APD-plan i 3D och 4D kan medföra samt hur kunskapen och tillgängligheten kan utvecklas för att kontribuera till ett ökande användande av en APD-planering i 3D och 4D. Denna studie har en kvalitativ ansats med sju djupingående intervjuer. Resultatet visar att APD-planering i 3D och 4D ger en tydlig verklighetsbild av byggarbetsplatsens utseende. Vilket möjliggör att risker och fel kan uppmärksammas i ett tidigt skede och genom en simulering kopplat till tidplanen, blir det ett effektivt diskussionsunderlag som kan användas till planering inom det aktuella projektet. För att en implementering och ett fortsatt arbete av 3D och 4D APD-planering ska lyckas, krävs det att organisationerna skapar sig rätt förutsättningar genom att lägga tid och resurser för att etablera en stark kompetens som kan forma ett arbetssätt med APD-planering i 3D och 4D. / During the design phase, a construction site layout plan (CSL-plan) is developed, serving as an overview illustration of the construction site. This plan visualizes the buildings on site and indicates where, among other things such as material storage areas, transport routes, and site offices are located. Currently, 2D drawings are the most frequently used type of CSL-plans. Additional dimensions can be incorporated into an CSL-plan; this study examines the subsequent dimensions: volume (3D) and time (4D). The aim is to analyze the challenges, opportunities, and value that a 3D and 4D APD-plan can offer, and how knowledge and accessibility can be enhanced to encourage greater use of 3D and 4D CSL-planning. This study employs a qualitative approach with seven in-depth interviews. The results suggest that 3D and 4D CSL-planning using various software tools provides a clear, realistic representation of the construction site. This allows risks and errors to be identified at an early stage. Through simulation linked to the schedule, it also becomes an effective discussion framework for project planning. For successful implementation and continued use of 3D and 4D CSL-planning, organizations must create the right conditions by investing time and resources to build strong competencies that can establish an effective workflow with 3D and 4D CSL-planning.
