Research on Construction Cost Control Technology of Construction Project Based on Big Data Analysis Theory

The current methods proposed in construction cost control of construction projects have problems such as applicability and low accuracy. Therefore, this paper proposes a method for evaluating engineering cost control based on the big data Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. Based on the big data technology, the construction cost control index of the construction project is selected, and the construction cost control index model of the construction project is constructed according to the selection results, and the evaluation set is constructed. The corresponding weights of the construction cost control indicators of each construction project are obtained through the analytic hierarchy process, and a weight set is constructed. The membership relationship between the index set and the evaluation set is determined, a fuzzy relationship matrix is constructed, and the construction cost control result of the construction project is obtained according to the calculated weight and the constructed fuzzy relationship matrix. The test results of examples show that the risk assessment accuracy of the proposed method is higher than that of ordinary methods, and the quantitative processing of audit risk assessment is realized.

Cost Control Analysis of Construction Projects Based on Wireless Communication and Artificial Intelligence Decisions

In decades of development, the country has been vigorously developing infrastructure projects and providing a steady stream of help, so our infrastructure strength has always been world’s top part. But now, because of the vigorous development of environmental protection enterprises, a variety of raw materials and environmental treatment costs are getting higher and higher, in order to maintain the profitability of enterprises, so we need to carry out cost control of construction projects to ensure a certain profit. In recent years, various emerging terms such as artificial intelligence and big data have become more and more popular, so in order to ensure the stability of the industry, it is imperative for the construction industry to introduce new technologies for the technological revolution. Wireless communication is also widely used with artificial intelligence to build systems because of the fast speed of interaction. In order to ensure the steady development of the construction industry in the future, we need to control the cost of the project and the introduction of high-tech. The purpose of this paper is to control the cost of construction projects by means of wireless communication and artificial intelligence decision-making. After reviewing the history of the construction industry in recent decades, as well as the price fluctuations of building materials and the relevant laws and regulations on environmental protection and construction in recent years, this paper uses the emerging artificial intelligence and traditional wireless communication methods to carry out the traditional project cost control experiments. After a period of experiments, people found that the use of wireless communication with artificial intelligence decision-making ability can be very good control of construction project costs in a certain range, to ensure the profitability of the project and the maximum use of materials.

A Review of Monitoring Construction Equipment in Support of Construction Project Management

Progress monitoring is an important aspect of construction project control that is fundamental to proper project management and decision-making. Traditional monitoring methods are inaccurate, time-consuming, and labor-intensive because they rely on large-scale manual operations. The defect of the method has been identified as one of the major problems causing project delays and cost overruns. In recent years, a variety of emerging automated data collection, analysis, and visualization techniques have been used to establish methods for digitized, real-time progress monitoring, and there are several papers that address these methodologies and comprehensive reviews. Among them, the authors conducted a review of various studies focusing on how to apply the monitoring of construction equipment to project management. The authors selected the studies of interest using research databases such as Google Scholar and ScienceDirect. Then, the authors classified those studies by technology, purpose, and subject matter, and analyzed the details. Through a literature review, it was revealed that most of the studies were focused on digitalization and review of the lifted path for safety improvement, and few studies were conducted for progress management, such as collection and analysis of work results. In addition, the authors revealed that several studies use the combination of existing technologies with new modeling technologies such as BIM (Building Information Modeling). It was also clarified that the technology applied to the monitoring is not even one, but a combination of multiple technologies to achieve each objective. Furthermore, even in the case of monitoring construction equipment, the authors found that workers, construction materials, and even the activity itself are also monitored as well as construction equipment.

Evaluación de métodos de pronóstico EVM/ES en proyectos de construcción hospitalaria

The objective is to evaluate 22 time and 12 cost forecasting methods based on Earned Value (EVM/ES) under three assumptions of future performance and in terms of the opportunity, accuracy, and stability of the forecasts. Little attention has been paid in the literature to future performance assumptions and evaluation under these parameters. Method: A total of 6,951 entry data points were used applying statistical measures of error and dispersion based on empirical evidence from 34 hospital construction projects in Mexico. Findings: Using contractor payment estimates as Actual Cost (AC), the more predictive time forecasting methods are those under the assumption that future performance will be as planned and, for cost, under the SPI(t) Schedule Performance Index. Relevance: The research shows the conditions under which the diverse methods offer timely and realistic predictions to be used as a reference in the monitoring and control of hospital construction projects. The limitation of the research consists of using durations and costs from completed projects without considering the possible changes formalized in contractual modifications throughout project’s execution. Future research using EVM/ES input data from the project owner's perspective is suggested.

Research on optimization of construction project cost control in construction enterprises

As a pillar industry of the national economy, the construction industry plays an important role in promoting economic growth, social stability and improvement of quality of life of people. Influenced by the deepening reform of the market economy system and the normal prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic, the construction market has increasingly high requirements and the market competition is becoming increasingly fierce. The major enterprises compete with each other to obtain the project at a low price, which seriously disturbs the market order and further compresses the market profit space. In the limited market share, in order to improve their competitiveness, cost control has become the focus of construction enterprises. This paper analyzes the current situation of cost control of construction projects in construction enterprises, finds out the existing problems and puts forward countermeasures and suggestions in order to realize the dynamic cost control of the whole process of construction projects.

Обеспечение процессов контроля качества на всех этапах жизненного цикла объектов капиталь-ного строительства в рамках концепции «Строительство 4.0»

Abstract. In this work, we identify the key challenges hampering the implementation of the Construction 4.0 concept when performing the quality control of construction projects. The research methodology involved a comprehensive study of the Construction 4.0 concept, which is applied in do-mestic and foreign practice for supporting quality control processes in construction. An integrated ap-proach to the analysis and accounting of all factors affecting construction quality management was ap-plied. Construction industries in different countries are undergoing massive transformations, shifting from traditional design and construction methods towards innovative ways of managing construction projects based on the use of digital technologies. The need for the introduction of these technologies is recognized by many subjects of the Russian construction industry, recognized at the state level and supported by a large number of national projects and development strategies. Such problematic as-pects, as the distortion of the information necessary for the implementation of a construction project, the increase in the time and cost of this process, the lack of proper quality control of industrial and civil facilities, have necessitated a transition towards digital technologies for the design of buildings and structures. The trend of digitalizing the construction industry, including the provision of quality control processes, predetermines the need to develop a scientific and methodological basis for the theory of managing the introduction of advanced technologies. The paper describes the implementation of the Construction 4.0 concept in the context of organizing quality control processes in construction. An analysis of practical examples of digital ecosystems allowed the authors to develop methodological foundations for the implementation of an integrated quality management system based on information modelling technologies, which could facilitate the digital transformation of the industry.
