Final Report (with appendices)

This thesis report outlines the research of the construction of Health Sciences Facility III
in Baltimore, Maryland. Throughout the year, the building as a whole was analyzed to
understand and identify avenues of research in areas like constructability, schedule
acceleration, or challenges on the project. These avenues of research developed into
specific analyses to investigate based on specific goals in each analysis. All of the analyses
cover a wide range of construction topics and are related to understanding value and how
to improve value on the project, from the value of a product to the value of time spent
performing certain tasks or using certain equipment on a job. This thesis presents the
findings of three specific areas of research: alternative support of excavation methods, motivation and its correlation to team performance and resource leveling for
cash flow.
