Web Based Study Aids
Study aids have been developed in these pages to
augment the construction management study.
The study aid is mainly intended to appraise the
reader about the computer application in the
field of construction project management. It is
assumed that the reader has some experience
in project management. The areas related
to computer based tasks are mainly discussed. The
topics are listed herein and links are
provided in the left.
Project Management
Software:
Present day project management heavily depends on software
systems. Text books of
construction management do not always provide
proprietary information about software systems
in construction management. In addition, a
web based document is essential so that the
reader may visit the developers' site
interactively. Therefore, a project
management software guide has been provided.
More than fifty project
management related software has been discussed in an
e-note.
The links to the developer's website have
also been provided.
Collaboration
Practice
Data
Some of the open source
software like achievo and dotproject that has been discussed in previous
sections are also uploaded as working versions.
A reader may use these software as trials.
Secondly, a web based spreadsheet intended for
time-cost optimization is provided. An
example problem has been created. The reader may
download REAnalysis, use it for cost estimating
and edit data in this practice problem.
Finally, a site diary module is provided to record site
activities. Links are provided in the left. Use
the username and password as stated in the left
for the respective software.
