| Abstract | Many construction projects around the world face delay and cost overrun due to poor decision making and situation awareness. The concept of situation awareness has not been popular in architectural, engineering and construction domain despite of its significant impact on good decision making. Therefore, this study explored how the situation awareness was applied in construction management domain. Five cases studies were conducted to observe how project engineer’s situation awareness was developed in light of a problem during construction. On- site construction management methods that can be used to gain situation awareness was explored with the help of t he experts in Myanmar construction industry. After that, the questionnaire survey was conducted in Myanmar to investigate the level of practices to suggest the recommendations for better situation awareness of project engineers in Myanmar. A model of situa tion awareness of a project engineer was developed and methods for obtaining situation awareness were identified. Many deficiencies in level of practices to meet project objectives of time, cost, quality and safety were identified by using the methods of m ean ranking. |
