Reinforced concrete is the preferred material for high rise buildings in developing countries like Peru. Formwork is one of the main components of reinforced concrete, which cost could be even higher than the combined cost of concrete and reinforced steel. Using prefabricated modular formwork is a preferred current practice over other options like built on site timber formwork because of the advantages related to productivity and economy. Also, contractors prefer renting formwork instead of owning them to avoid an investment risk and having better flexibility for renting the right amount and time of formwork for each specific project. Selecting a formwork provider for a building project involves a tradeoff between different proposals considering technical, cost, and contractual aspects. A frequent practice from formwork providers during a bidding process is estimating the renting cost of each formwork solution based on the amount of square meters of contact area, which makes easier computing the total cost of each formwork solution for the entire project. Although, computing the square meters of required formwork area and the time each formwork solution will remain in the project is a complex and time-consuming task. The required formwork area during the project depends directly on the planning process and specifically on the definition of the concrete pour schedule and work zone layout. In current practice, there is uncertainty about formwork quantity estimation and a low performance of formwork reuse, which impacts a deficient assessment of the best formwork option during a bidding process. This is the main reason this thesis proposes a methodology for comparing formwork providers proposals’ using Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology and Lean philosophy, for computing quantities take off, defining the optimal work zone layout, and estimating the time each formwork will remain in the construction project. Formwork proposals assessment model is based on Lean philosophy for defining the most efficient work zone layout that will allow reducing the use of labor hours. Use of Lean metrics like takt time, lead time, cycle time and lag time are used for scheduling the time each formwork solution will be required during the project. Also, the methodology proposed is using BIM technologies for automating the computing of formwork quantities take off, cost, and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for formwork planning. These KPIs are an important part of the Lean/BIM based tool for assessing and comparing alternatives. Finally, Multi Alternative Decision Analysis (MADA) methods are used for selecting a formwork provider based not only on the cost, but also taking into consideration other attributes that are complex to include in the cost analysis or monetary terms for formwork alternatives in high rise building projects.
