ABSTRACT

Best utilization of the productive resources is a vital need for construction companies. Construction companies really need a fast and dynamic way of acquiring specific resources to cope with work peaks and a way of exploiting their idle resources and compensating for their fixed expenses. The e-Sharing system is based on powerful resource and task type models, which further extend existing standards in Construction Equipment and Tasks. The users of the e-Sharing system describe their requirements regarding resource special characteristic, leasing period and price and the intelligent recommendations engine of the e-Sharing system presents all the available solutions in a list with the most suitable resources in the first positions. The e-Sharing intelligent recommendations engine, detects all the offers that could be interesting for a specific lessee’s request, and evaluates them on the basis of the probability of a successful negotiation between the lessor and the lessee.
