  • Implementing a HBIM Approach to Manage the Translocation of Heritage Buildings
    Implementing a HBIM approach to manage the translocation of heritage buildings Purpose The purpose of the paper is to present a study which exploited synergies between the fields of Heritage BIM, conservation and building translocation to develop a new approach to support a digitally enabled translocation process. The translocation (or relocation) of buildings or structures is a niche area of the construction sector and much of the significant work in this field has focused on the relocation of heritage buildings. However, hitherto there was a paucity of work integrating translocation with the process and technology of BIM. Design/Methodology/Approach The study employed a Constructive Research approach to analyse the phenomenon of heritage translocation. As part of this approach, semi structured interviews were undertaken with professionals engaged in heritage translocation projects within the UK and this was supported by a multi-faceted review of literature within the cross cutting themes of translocation and HBIM. Building on the results, a BIM enabled process was implemented to support the translocation of a 19th Century timber framed building in the UK. Findings Following analysis of results of semi structured interviews, and supported by findings from prevailing literature in the field of translocation and HBIM, a HBIM for Translocation Conceptual Framework (TransHBIM) was developed. Building on the key constructs of the framework, a HBIM based workflow was implemented to develop a digitally enabled translocation process which provided a new approach to managing and documenting heritage translocation where disassembly and reconstruction is utilised. The workflow provided a more effective way of documenting individual elements of the building within a digital environment opening up potential for new simulation of the entire process.

  • Building Structure Relocation
    Building structure relocation Victor Verstichele MASTER’S THESIS May 2020 Construction Engineering ABSTRACT Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulu Tampere University of Applied Sciences Master Construction Engineering VICTOR VERSTICHELE: Building structure relocation Masters thesis 69 pages, appendices 1 page May 2020 Building structure relocation is the process of physically moving a structure to a predefined location and has been practiced in many parts of the world for centu- ries. Presently building relocation can be considered as a last resort of preserva- tion when buildings are threatened by demolition or destruction. Due to the grow- ing awareness of building preservation and the improvement in techniques and reliability, the relocation of building structures is becoming an approved preser- vation method. Next to being a method of preservation, buildings are presently being relocated for various reasons due to the specialization and democratization of the process. A building and certainly a relocation project is never the same, therefore creativ- ity, experience, and good engineering solutions are needed to make the move a success. The planning of the relocation and more specifically the determination of the method and the techniques is a key step in the relocation process. This thesis tries to provide a general summary of the entire relocation process, based on recent case studies of relocation projects, relocation companies' expe- riences, and articles. All the steps to be taken to relocate a building are discussed in a chronological way, answering the big ‘how’ and ‘why’ questions. Eventually, the relocation of the tavara-asema building in Tampere is discussed as an exam- ple of the challenges that may occur in the process.

The neoclassical economic theory posits that rational sellers and rational buyers in the housing market will look at the current market price in order to determine a value of a property. Studies, however, show that physiological biases may affect the decision- making process of both sellers and buyers. I examine the behavior of sellers in the housing market in three different settings. In essay 1, I analyze the effects of the health of the housing market on mobility. In Essay 2, I study the effects of sellers’ loss aversion on listing price and time on the market within the prospect theory framework.
