Abstract

By reducing construction times and thereby shortening the times of construction site operation, it is possible to contribute to ensuring the social, economic, and environmental pillars of sustainability, which are necessary to meet the 2030 climate target plan set by the European Commission. This paper deals with an analysis of the time of site operation in construction of residential buildings. The site operation time in construction of fourteen residential buildings in Slovakia was examined. The research offers findings that can help clients make more rational decisions about the duration of construction site operation they request from contractors in construction contracts. Defining the mathematical dependence between the size of building and needed time of construction site operation in the pre-project planning phase was one of the results of this analysis. Based on the relationship expressed in this way, contractors can predict whether it will be possible to obtain a score in an environmental assessment of a building by minimizing undesirable effects of the construction site (such as dust, noise, and vibrations) through reducing the time of construction site operation. The study also produced a methodology in the form of steps or actions for the possible reduction of construction site operation time. The equation of dependence that resulted from the present study may be a good basis for planning a sustainable construction site that only affects its environment during the necessary construction time.
