| Abstract | General and specific concepts on the design, implementation, and control of information systems , as applied
in construction control and management , are presented in this paper. General concepts were derived from the literature of previous studies; leading to the development of a reference
model of an information systems incorporated into the management and control system o a construction project. The presentation
o f the reference model is supported by brief discussions on the systems objectives, design , implementation, and control. Specific concepts were d e rived from the investigation of
on-going, reinforced-concrete, building constriction projects.
The investigation was conducted through interviews, collection of sample forms, and observation; resulting to the
identification of various applied models o t information system.
The results of the investigation are presented herein and the
discussions focus on the objectives of management, the
information output, the raw data collected, forms used in
information collection, processing, and presentation, and the
procedures and forms used in the control of schedule,
materials, and manpower at the site. Additional discussions
are included emphasizing the importance of project meetings,
wall charts, and verbal communications .
The concepts presented in this paper are not directed
towards a specific construction project nor toward a specific
information system. which the reader is Rather, alternative concepts are given by
aided in understanding information flow within the construction. Particularly, that part of the information flow leading to project progress valuation. |
