Abstract
Construction managers need to access the real construction site to manage the construction project. They usually use sheets of paper and/or field notes. On the other hand, they have recently handled various types of digital information such as drawings, specification, and reports. As a result, a gap in time and space between the construction site and the office occurs. This paper reports the application of PDA (Personal Digital Assistants) as mobile computing system for construction managers on construction sites. First, the paper describes the aim and the essential element of the mobile systems based on computer-aided engineering. Secondly, the paper describes the use of design patterns of GUI (Graphical User Interface) to realize EUC. Thirdly, the paper introduces the systems with PDA: Progress Monitoring System, Inspection System, Position Check System and Checklist and Reference System. Finally, the paper confirms the efficiency of mobile computing in productivity, and shows the future of construction management with the mobile computing system on construction site.
