A Construction Schedule Controlling System Using Web-Based Knowledge Technology

Schedule controlling is a critical task in managing construction projects.However, in practice most contractors do not control and update schedule frequently due to the lack of proper controlling method. In the real construction world. most decision-making rules are not based on the mathematical method, but on the contractor's assumptions, limitations and management style. Thus, expert's experience somehow is a significant factor for performing a well scheduling. This paper will propose a construction scheduling system using both Internet technology and knowledge-based system to improve the traditional project scheduling. An object-oriented activity model is developed based on schedule controlling, progress measurements. and data exchanges.
