Abstract
Although detailed information on the construction of Hwasung was recorded in the Hwasungsungyouk-eugye, analysis and evaluation from the perspective of modern construction management were limited. Therefore, in this study, construction management related information such as time, cost, and manpower was analyzed for Paldal-mun. The main work involved in the construction of Paldal-mun was foundation work and masonry work, and the total construction period was 6 months, with the overall construction progressing very quickly. The total cost of the construction of Paldal-mun was about 52,423 Nyong, which can be divided into about 15,9332 Nyang for materials and 36,4901 Nyang for labor cost. Converting these to present value, the material cost is about 1.1 billion won and the labor cost is about 2.5 billion won, and the sum of these is about 3.6 billion won. In the future, we plan to conduct additional research in this area such as deriving detailed input manpower related to the work period for each type of work.
