Abstract:
The paper describes the main principles and results of the integrated
cost estimation and project management microcomputer expert
system developed in the last years on the base of the spatial, technological
and time analysis of the building process with use of the
methodology of the construction technology design. This expert system
is based on quick modelling of the building process by use of typical
network diagrams, which are prepared in advance, created by an original
construction technology network diagram method. The typical network
diagrams can be modified according to the spatial conditions of a certain
building and to the amount of construction works and materials. Thanks
to the database of construction processes and to the typical network diagrams
the model of the building process including the cost assessment
can be made about 50 times quicker than by use of current cost estimation
or project management systems, quality assurance checklists, environmental
plans and plans of the safety at work included.
