This paper will address a new approach to construction management: Qualitative Construction Site Assessment System (QCSAS). QCSAS is essentially a site management software package. The objective of this system is three fold. Firstly, it aims to provide a holistic view of construction site to the project manager. It tries to achieve this by tracking essential factors like construction progress, construction quality, safety on site and resource requirement. Secondly, it assesses the condition of all factors on site in qualitative terms by using fuzzy logic. Thirdly, the system intends to achieve smooth information flow between various participants of site, i.e., the site supervisors, procurement officer, quality inspector, safety engineer, planning engineer and project manager with minimal effort and time wastage. |
