A New Direction of Professional Activity of Consulting Engineers in the Construction Industry

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

1. It is suggested to make the title more concise and simple for users to read

2. Abstract has lot of details which can be used for introduction section too. You can make the abstract more concise maximum around 200 words with points on methods, results, and outcome.

3. Introduction should be more concise with proper presentation of information. As there is no literature review section, you can use the headings and subheadings to divide the concepts for clarity

4. The method section has FDIC method, but would like to have the approaches discussed in the introduction section as background. Further, the book templates can be discussed too earlier int he sections. You can discuss here more about the data collection, how these book templates were used, what are the specific benefits of these being used for your research

5. Provide clear details of the technology platform, if is already built up them provide the details. If not then provide the proposed technology platform. At this stage in section 2.2, the platform was not discussed earlier and most of the information is again like an introduction or background of platforms. Section 2.3 also presents the similar background items.

6. Section 2.4 mentions process approach. But the background or introduction of using it was not discussed.  It is suggested to make the material and method section more concise to have items which were used for the research

7. 3.1 mentions research based approach but it was not discussed in the previous section. It is again a methodological part

8. Results need to be more concise. Evidence and reference to the collected information needs to be provided

9. Line 383 and 384 mentions systems and sub systems but it is more on the task level. 

10. Results have many points but explanation and hierarchy of information needs to be in logical flow

11. In discussion authors have discussed the systematic approach. Authors have lot of information but presentation of information requires more clarity. 

flow on information requires more clarity
