ABSTRACT

 This paper aims to investigate several process development models and finally focus on the Design Structure Matrix which is one of most up to date methods. It can be seen that the use of the DSM not only benefits the real estate development project in whole, but also enhances the construction phase of the building production by providing clear planning of the process, by defining relationships between actors and tasks, by the ability to see future risks and agility in taking action in unexpected scenarios during construction phase. In order to use the DSM in Turkey during the construction phase of building production process, some adaptations should be made. The construction phase may be considered the most structured phase in the Turkish market. Since the application of the project must have a defined schedule and budget, and all the actors are tied with contracts, there is not much space for disorder. However still compared to the original Design Structure Matrix, the Turkish construction industry lacks some of the formal agreement tasks, has unequal task distribution and should be more inclusive of marketing and sales activities.
