Precise and accurate prediction models for duration and cost enable contractors to improve their decision making for effective resource management in terms of sustainability in construction. Previous studies have been limited to cost-based estimations, but this study focuses on a material-based progress management method. Cost-based estimations typically used in construction, such as the earned value method, rely on comparing the planned budget with the actual cost. However, accurately planning budgets requires analysis of many factors, such as the financial status of the sectors involved. Furthermore, there is a higher possibility of changes in the budget than in the total amount of material used during construction, which is deduced from the quantity take-off from drawings and specifications. Accordingly, this study proposes a material-based progress management methodology, which was developed using different predictive analysis models (regression, neural network, and auto-regressive moving average) as well as datasets on material and labor, which can be extracted from daily work reports from contractors. A case study on actual datasets was conducted, and the results show that the proposed methodology can be efficiently used for progress management in construction.

“…As mentioned earlier, data collection is a crucial step in the tracking control process. Considerable work has been carried out to utilize various automated data acquisition technologies for the purpose of data collection [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. For example in Abudayyeh's model [7], the bar code technology was used in acquiring construction data from site.…”

Controlling construction projects necessitates controlling their time and cost in an effort to meet the planned targets. Management needs timely data that represent the status of the project to take corrective actions, if needed. This paper presents a control model that integrates different automated data acquisition technology to collect data from construction sites required for progress measurement purposes. Current automated data acquisition technologies are described, and their suitability for use in tracking and controlling construction activities is assessed. This includes bar coding, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) 3D laser scanning, photogrammetry, multimedia, and pen-based computers. The user can move with a tablet PC in the construction site and record, take snapshots and also hand written comments about activities on site. The proposed cost/schedule control model Integrates with the automated data acquisition technologies, a planning and scheduling software system, a relational database, and AutoCAD to generate progress reports that can assist project management teams in decision making.

By applying the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, this study embedded the RFID tags in the components of open-buildings to store the raw design data so that data can be passed to the maintenance phase and automatically provided to the building users. For this purpose, this paper focused on the application of RFID for developing an Open-Building Maintenance Information System (OBMIS) for OB maintenance management. Three functional modules were developed in the OBMIS, namely (1) the support components information management (2) the infilled components information management and (3) the reanalysis/redesign module. In the support and infilled information management models, users can write and read the components' information, such as material type and construction information etc., within the RFID tags by using Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) for maintain management. Meanwhile, in the reanalysis/redesign module, for building extension or reconstruction, users can acquire and transfer the structure parameters from the components' tags to external analysis systems, such as SAP2000 etc., for structure safety analysis. Summarily, by using the OBMIS, not only the data in the design phase can be transferred to the maintenance phase, but also the data can be provided by the building itself so that the efficiency of OB maintenance management could be enhanced.
