Towards a framework of automated resource model for post contract cost control of construction projects
Real-time control of on-site construction cost has been a major concern as every client demand value for the money invested in procuring a construction project. The design team and other stakeholders in the construction industry face the challenges posed by the ever-increasing complexity of construction facilities, and the demands of clients to meet their needs within a given budget. In addition, the trend of information technology in construction demands that all activities including cost optimization be automated and digitalized for better proficiency of the construction professionals and effectiveness of job delivery. This article presents a conceptual framework for the automated resource model (ARM) for on-site construction cost control. The concept of ARM is based on the use of mobile technology, integrating it with a back-office central system for real-time data capturing, monitoring, and control to keep expenditure within a predetermined budget. The scope covered includes Automated Real-Time Data (ARTiD) collection, Construction Progress Monitoring and Evaluation, and Construction Activity Monitoring. The ARM concept can enable the construction stakeholders to obtain information on cost implications of all activities simultaneously. It can also enable quick detection of any source of cost and time overrun and propose quick remedial action.
