- Abstract:
One of the main problems in the process of design and management of construction projects is obtaining accurate information for preliminary estimates. This information is crucial for the development of integrated systems for construction management because of the relationship between construction input data and subjects such as estimating, cost control, scheduling, resource management, etc. Existing methods for estimating input that originated in industrial engineering are inadequate for the unique conditions of the construction industry. The model described in this paper applies statistical analysis of data from past projects, and enables the user to estimate the data needed for the construction of a new project. The model is based on the following components: Project items and their quantities; inputs needed to produce those items; and factors that affect inputs of a specific project. The model equation was calculated using multiple regression techniques. The paper concludes with a case study of a construction input configuration for a concrete structure.
