Abstract:

The optimum control of a building project is the aim of the supervision of construction in a construction company. In order to get a real optimum control of the cooperation between man, machinery and material at the construction site it is necessary to plan the construction process.

A rough planning without large data material is possible when using simple machinery materials for a simple structure. Then the planning resources are quite small so that the plan can be realised manually. If the construction is composed of difficult structures and if complicated machines with automatic process is to be used, a precise planning with detailed values of high accuracy is necessary. This expenditure of Planning can only be carried out by computation.

A planning by means of a computer may not be restricted only to single subjects. A draft has to be developed for the realization of the complete planning with the planning of the site facilities, of the operating planning and of the material and equipment management.

This draft was performed at the University of Kassel. By means of this draft the construction management problems can be solved with the help of a computer. The operation and the conversion of this draft is shown at an example of the organizational planning of a construction site.
