ABSTRACT

The paper describes the methodology of utility assessment of building and projects by use of computer modelling of the project and of the building process. The main principles of the integrated cost estimation, project management and quality assurance system developed in last years are shortly mentioned. This expert system is based on quick modelling of the building process of different buildings and structures by use of typical network diagrams, which are prepared in advance, created by an original construction technology network diagram method. Thanks to the database of construction processes and to the typical network diagrams the model of the building process including the cost assessment can be made about 50 times quicker than by use of classical cost estimation or project management systems. Models of the building process created in this way can be used easily for utility assessment of building and projects.
