    Factor analysis to evaluate the financial performance of the construction industry in an emerging market: The case of colombia
    (Universidad Pablo de Olavide, 2018-01-01) Judith V.; Maribel S.
    Factor analysis is a method used to reduce several variables into fewer dimensions called factors. This study conducts factor analysis on financial ratios of the construction companies in Colombia in the period 2000@@@@2014. According to that, the purpose of the study is to use the factorial analysis technique to determine whether the nancial ratios are related to a smaller number of unobservable factors and eliminate redundancy among them. The results show that it is possible to explain 88.753% of the variance with 13 financial ratios grouped into three factors. © 2019, Universidad Pablo de Olavide.

    Standardizing System of Posthandover Defects for the Construction Sector in Colombia
    (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019-01-01) Vásquez-Hernández A.; Fernando Botero Botero L.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería Civil; Gestión de la Construcción
    Posthandover defects present in the construction industry lead to reprocesses, cost overruns, and situations of dissatisfaction for purchasers. The analysis of past experiences through a feedback process with a view to continuous improvement reduces the occurrence of defects and increases control over the consequences. However, the data on the present defects are difficult to obtain and poorly structured due to the lack of uniformity in the classification systems of posthandover defects used by the construction companies; thus, their systematization and analysis is difficult. The present study examines the development of a system to classify posthandover defects for the construction sector in Colombia and its application for validation through a case study that integrates 14,772 posthandover defects from 125 projects for 19 construction companies in Colombia. © 2019 American Society of Civil Engineers.
