Bee's main research area is in construction management and economics. With the focus on competition in the construction industry, she has been active in applying (i) statistical techniques to model contractors’ bidding behaviour, and (ii) experimental designs to examine contractors’ bidding behaviour via active manipulation of bidding variables. Her research interests include:

  • Construction contract bidding
  • Experimental research in construction economics
  • Construction procurement strategies
  • Quantitative methods in construction research
  • Women in construction
  • Disaster management in the built environment
