Construction time information system for the building industry
Language: English Series: Construction Management & Economics ; 10(6) November 1992, 489-509(21)Publication details: 1992Subject(s): Summary: Describes a computerised construction time information system for time planning of buildings at early stages of design. A sample of 29 commercial privately funded buildings was used to develop the proposed model. A procedure for extending the model to other project categories is shown. Multiple linear regression analysis of sample data shows that the durations of activity groups: substructure, superstructure, cladding, finishes, services and their sequential start - start lag times can be predicted from 12 variables.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
