The paper deals with integration of the data processing problems in the complex design construction process, aiming to minimize the total time spent on data processing. Sequence of the basic tasks under observation is: quantity surveying and estimating, drawing up the technological models and calendar plans of Construction (including labour and cash flow schedules), purchase orders of the materials and control of material usage, control of execution of the tasks and fixing the norms (feedback). Theoretical approach to the problem serves as basis for elaboration of the classification system, which depends on the task management and distance of the time horizon and allows to rationally group and aggregate data. Construction project resources (materials, labour, finance) and construction works process centred models, as well as formal structures of the information models (hierarchical, network-, matrix- and relation models) are discussed.
