Research on Meticulous Collection Methods of Construction Information for Engineering Projects

Abstract

Great amount of information is generated during the construction stage of an engineering project, and ineffectiveness in collecting the construction information will bring adverse effects on the achievement of project objectives. This paper firstly puts forward an original conception of ‘meticulous collection methods of construction information’, based on the evidence-based science theory. Then this paper conducts a three-class meticulous classification of the regular construction information. In combination with advanced information collection techniques and the characteristics of the construction information, the meticulous collection system of construction information is designed. The proposed system is proved to be instrumental by a case project and the proposed meticulous collection techniques of steel members implemented in the case project has been proved to be effective and convenient. This research offers a new perspective for construction information collection and provides useful inputs for project managers to improve the management efficiency of construction information. The system established in this paper will accelerate the development and combination of information collection techniques and project construction, and therefore boost the informatization process of engineering projectsGreat amount of information is generated during the construction stage of an engineering project, and ineffectiveness in collecting the construction information will bring adverse effects on the achievement of project objectives.
