Web Based Construction Management System For Tekrom Construction P Lc .

Abstract

In this project, we propose an Online Construction Project Management System. Construction is a multi-organizational process that is heavily dependant on exchange of large and complex data. Successful completion of a project depends on accuracy, effectiveness and timely Communication and exchange of critical information and data between the project teams . The need for effective information processing and exchange increases with the increasing degree of task-uncertainty, number of organizational units involved, and extent of interdependence among the units. Despite an explosive growth of the Internet usage during the last seven years in many areas of business and commerce, the construction industry has not kept pace to the same degree. procedures for gathering construction project information as well as coordinating and communicating the information amongst all the stakeholders in the process are extremely bureaucratic, confusing and awfully time-consuming. The problem has been exacerbated by the increasingly complex and large nature of construction projects with a large number of participants. Most of the time there is a lack of a systematic approach and system that can effectively manage all information concerning construction projects to ensure a faster and more efficient and transparent process. This ultimately results in problems regarding project performance. e.g. extreme delays in construction, loss of information and increasing costs. Implementing an online construction project administration system that can provide round the clock information about the project such as project status; directory of contractors, consultants; project drawings and specifications; project schedule and the facility to submit on-line change orders . By sharing information within the organizational units as well as among the participating organizations significant integration in construction processes can be achieved. This system also allows construction managers access specific project information in desired formats in an accurate, timely, and pertinent form from any where across the globe and this too at particularly any time
