Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi! Im currently in search for a topic for my thesis in Construction Management. Can you please suggest for a topic that can help in the improvement of the planning system here in our country, Philippines.

Thanks.

Yes, I also think the quantitative approach can make the output more practical. How can we integrate these two methods?

Does qualitative methods are supported by quantitative methods? On business management, have figures is much preferable

Hi, Bernard Ertl and Emelyn Martinez,

I read your messages about the topic in construction management. Im also interested in this field. Hope we can diccuss more about it in the future.

On the other hand, I found most of the research methods in construction industry were using qualitative methods. However, I think the quantitative methods can make the research output more practical. Whats your opinion?

Perhaps you could study the impact of legal/contractual considerations on the use of PM as a management tool. From what I am reading around the internet, in the construction industry, it can really pervert and obstruct the process.
