- W655486600 abstract "This research describes an investigation into the information flows within thetechnical and commercial functions of house building organisations. It was initiatedbecause of the evidence of poor data transfer and communications within theconstruction industry as identified by previous research. Little previous researchhad addressed the particular problems of the house building industry whichaccounts for up to a third of total new construction output in the UK. Theorganisational and information structures of six house building companies wereexamined and a typical organisational model developed. This model highlighted theimportance of the technical and commercial functions of estimating, purchasing,valuations and cost monitoring/comparisons and the need for effective transfer ofinformation between them.The information flows between these functions were studied and modelled usingsystems analysis techniques of data flow diagrams and entity-relationships models.The requirements for a computer-aided management system to improve andrationalise the information flows were identified and an integrated system, knownas DEVELOP, was developed.The system was installed into a collaborating company and its advantages anddisadvantages monitored over time.The main outcomes of the research are:(a) an organisational model for a typical house building organisation;(b) data flow and entity-relationship models for the functions of estimating,purchasing, valuations and cost monitoring/comparisons; and(c) an operational integrated management system for house builders thatprovides:(i) faster throughput of information (for example the time required toaggregated dwelling quantities for a typical development is reducedfrom three man days to one hour);(ii) greater consistency of information (by the provision of a companydata library); and(iii) better communications between the functions (due to the integratednature of the system and the adoption of a common coding system)." @default.
