A progress management in construction projects plays an important role in providing as-built information for project planning, control, cost engineering, and many others. However, progress information has not been collected through objective methods or criteria but mainly based on an individual's own experience or subjective judgment, which results in the limits of consistency, objectiveness, and accuracy in the progress management. This research aims at proposing a progress measurement framework that allows managing and applying various measurement methods dependent on work items to overcome the problems and limits of the current progress management. The framework was developed with a focus on integration of work breakdown structure, cost breakdown structure, and progress measurement methods, and it consists of three main objects: work, activity, and progress measurement unit. Base on the framework, an information system named PROSYS (project PRogress management SYStem) was developed to generate activities and progress measurement units depending on the characteristics of projects and work items, and to keep track of project progress more efficiently and effectively.

“…In the present research, a new WBS-based model drawing on the advantages of both the WBS-based model proposed by Eldin [3] and a work-packaging model, is proposed to achieve the integration of detailed cost estimation and construction scheduling. More specifically, the new WBS-based model constitutes a single, integrated work breakdown structure linking and combining cost breakdown structure (CBS) items with WBS items.…”

-With the increasing popularity of Building Information Modeling (BIM), several research studies have focused on its application in the construction industry, and advancements such as developments of BIM-based tools for construction scheduling and cost estimating have been carried out. Nevertheless, these tools are each developed only for one particular aspect of construction management, such as scheduling or cost estimating. As such, most are still limited to the product element level, rather than the construction operation level. This paper thus presents a BIM-based integrated framework for detailed cost estimation and schedule planning of construction projects. In the proposed framework, a BIM product model developed in Autodesk Revit, is integrated with a construction process model retrieved from RS Means, with the objective of generating detailed cost estimation and a workface construction schedule simultaneously. In this paper, the literature pertaining to BIM, cost estimating and scheduling is surveyed; then, the proposed framework is presented, and a simple building project is used as a case study to facilitate understanding of and verify the applicability of the integrated framework. Finally, findings from the implementation of the proposed framework are summarized.

“…Despite extensive literatures reviewed in cost control, an integrated view of the system was not portrayed. The system functions were mostly discussed in isolated fashion, for instance, estimating (Carr, 1989; Tah et al ., 1994; Geaney, 1997; Monsey, 1997), budgeting (Fleming, 1995), monitoring and analysing (Eldin, 1989; Wizdo, 1993; Jurkiewicz, 1997), and reporting (Abu‐Hijleh & Ibbs, 1993). Furthermore, most previous research works concentrated more on theoretical concepts rather than operation in the real‐complicated environment.…”

The most important function that facilitates construction organizations to accomplish profit maximization is cost control. However, the absence of a well‐established cost control system has caused failures to many Thai contractors especially during the current economic recession period. To comprehensively understand cost control systems in practice, this study theoretically assessed effectiveness as well as the deficiencies of the ‘traditional’ systems vis‐à‐vis the ‘effective’ systems. In addition, by contrasting what are found in ‘effective’ systems but not found in ‘traditional’ systems, critical attributes most contributing to the systems’ successfulness were identified so that the improvement steps can be suitably prioritized. The validated findings indicated remarkable contrasts between ‘traditional’ and ‘effective’ systems. Two critical aspects, including advancement of cost control framework and systematic participation of site personnel in cost control, were found to be the major differences. Interestingly, similar conditions were encountered in various countries such as Greece, Pakistan and Australia; hence suggestions from this study could be internationally useful.
