Abstract:

The Application of IT is not as popular as other areas at Construction Industry in Taiwan. Since IT can help enterprises to integrate most complex information, we can make big progress in cost, quality and service. Construction Industry has to integrate surveying, planning, design, structural design, shop drawing, contracting, valuation, and so on, we need a good tool help us to handle those complicate tasks to effectively administrate construction projects. In this research, we use ER Modeling and Window programming environment to develop Basic Database System, Construction Site Record System, Daily Report System, and Integrate between CMIS and MS Project. Through the help of these modules, we can record the site information such as labor, equipment and material. This information will be automatically integrated to CMIS system to generate and update project schedule control information. All site information will be transferred to headquarter so administrators can control real situation for the enterprise. Combined with MS Project, we can update and show project schedule so project managers can exactly control the schedule of the project.
