RESEARCH OF MODELS, METHODS AND TECHNOLOGIES OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT FOR MOBILE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

Abstract

The study of models, methods and technologies for developing a software for mobile construction management was carried out. A software has been proposed that is designed to manage important elements of a construction project using bookmarks on a mobile phone. The user can bookmark the following elements: events regarding changes in construction plans, obligations of contractors, photos of the construction project, requests for permits, applications for instrumentation, inspections, identification of shortcomings. The software helps users manage construction using a mobile device and provides users with the tools they need to perform construction work in real time. Using the program application menu, the user can view construction plans and their modifications, even offline, track every detail of construction, including types of work, communication, equipment, materials and events at the workplace on a daily basis, track requests for construction permits, structure requests by date, execution authorities and respond quickly to changes during construction, take pictures of the progress of the construction project from a mobile device and link them to the project drawings at the location, use a mobile device to create and assign items to a list of comments and shortcomings directly at the construction site, where most problems are likely to be identified. DB BROWSER FOR SQLITE (DB4S), a high-quality open source visual tool for SQLite compatible databases, was chosen for designing, modeling and developing the software database. The AndroidStudio development environment and the Java language were used to develop the software application.
