Today's construction robots are largely machines which simply carry out a construction task . Fully robotised construction must include automation and integration of the numerous management functions together with robotisation of the construction task. Important management functions, including planning, scheduling and budgeting , are discussed with a view to their automation using powerful microcomputers . These functions are shown to be suitable for automation using artificial intelligence techniques and the subsequent integration of these automated functions into a robotised construction project system is proposed.

“…This methodology allows some of the project plan information to be converted into a structured information tree. This has been described in greater detail in the previous paper [6]. The testing has been carried out with the assistance of Tarmac Construction, Major Projects Division, a major construction contracting company based in the U.K.…”

“…The particular work discussed in this paper relates to a continuing programme of work which is an extension of the work described in a paper presented by the authors at the 7th ISARC [6]. This work permits some of the financial constraints of the project to be evaluated and allows the automatic generation of budgets for the project.…”

The evaluation of project plans in construction is seen to be an important task which will become more so as project complexity increases and computers become used more and more, initially as aids to planners and ultimately as automatic generators of plans.This paper discusses automated plan evaluation, and in particular the evaluation of some financial aspects of a project contained in different models of a project: the Bill of Quantities and a work activity plan. It introduces a technique for comparing these models and then for automating the budgeting of construction. Discussion of some results and problems in the work so far follows.
