As information and communication technology advances driving the rapid evolution of e-commerce and e-business becomes on effective marketing means for both business and institutions, the industry deals with these changes and has a profound, positive impact on production and operations management. But the construction industry falls behind compared with other industries in productivity, informationalization, automatization and globalization. Especially even though the informationalization is inevitable in any developing society, a number of construction industries can hardly cope with it properly. As the construction industry gets informationalized and advanced, the introduction of PMIS (Project Management Information System) is making progress actively for the effective construction project control and productivity improvement in construction. With the government officials' political promotion and the rising desire for construction informationalization of enterprises, many are attempting to develop integrated systems or to replace a previous system with a more advanced alternative. Construction Industry, however, has the peculiar properties that the period for the completion of construction is limited and on top of that, most of its data processing systems are seen as being an early stage in the design of management information systems. As a result, there are extremely few applications in the construction industry. In this paper, we propose the PMIS system based on new model 4CM that improves on previous models.

The drawing information takes the most essential part of construction information. The management of construction information through drawing information facilitates input, output and search process, thus helping maximize the usage of construction information by effectively sharing construction experience and drawing information. This paper shows how construction information can effectively used to increase the productivity of the construction process as a whole. Construction information was extracted and classified by the elements of building which are the basic and very end components of building, to accumulate information of each construction phase. Based on the result, the Element Breakdown Structure(EBS) was developed for the practical usage of construction information integration.

The importance of construction management has been increasing due to the fact that complex construction projects blend several different industries depending on the traits of the construction. This research was conducted to search for a method to enhance efficiency in cost management of construction project and meet the need for reusability of accumulated construction information. The process of detailed estimation and methodology for using standard unit price information has been developed to strengthen the interoperability in cost information by utilizing a standard classification system. The concept of ontology is proposed as a method of connecting construction information based on a standard breakdown structure to increasing the connectivity of the cost information in the construction project. Therefore, construction information knowledge framework is developed in order to improve the efficiency of the detailed estimation work process.

Construction industry has the form of industry progressed through mutual cooperation among participants in various fields. Accordingly, it may be referred to as an aggregate of information where various pieces of information are generated and managed according to each construction phase. Most of the information on the construction project is issued in the form of a document. And document management of the site is critical to successful execution of the project. Therefore, in the construction site to use IT technology for efficient information management. But, most of the information on the construction site is managed by the non-structured document. and Information management in the construction site is difficult to lack of information management systems. In this study, proposed construction information database structure and breakdown structure to the information management of the construction site through the BIM technology. Therefore, previous studies were reviewed about the document management and information link management. and Space breakdown structure and information breakdown structure was proposed to structure the information of the construction site and Database for information storage is designed. And, BIM-based construction information database was examined through the application scenario.

With labor shortage and high-wage, the construction cost is rising and the construction-business is dull, demanding the construction environment of Korea to raise profitability through major cost savings and rationalization of construction management. Therefore, in this study, to improve many problems found in calculating rebar quantity for capital expenditure programming which is considered the beginning stage of rebar work. and to improve problems such as no grasping of rebar loss due to lack of systematic management in order/purchase stage and construction management stage, a rebar information-management-system was found and preyed. The relation database was designed for the rebar information management system by analyzing work process of a rebar manufacturing plant, as the rebar information that is necessary in a rebar manufacturing plant if similar to that of a purchasing department of general construction company. The Proposed rebar information management system was implemented in two large rebar production plants. The implementation of the proposed system showed that the system increased work efficiency, reduced the management manpower, and improved the project-integrated management

The information generated in large-scale and complex construction projects are transferred continuously and transformed into project products on the long span life cycle. Therefore, information flow management is related with the success of project directly. However, certain characteristics of large-scale and complex construction projects make the solving the problem more difficultly. Although several information retrieval systems support the information management system, it is not suitable to grasp information flows. Hence, we developed an information retrieval system specialized with the information flow based on a preceding research. The system consists of a relation-based database and the process information transferring relation inference application module. The system enables project managers to manage the entire project process more efficiently and each project member to work their own task being served the information flow retrieval results.

Many domestic construction companies are continuously trying to utilize weather information for construction management. The effect of the weather is greatly reflected in the construction industry because there are many outdoor work. Therefore, weather information is clearly needed to predict the exact construction period. And the calculation of the number of non-working days considering the weather information is very important. However, many construction companies have difficulty calculating the exact construction period because it is difficult to predict the exact long-term weather. In this study, it is analyzed the past long-term weather information. Then the weather information by region and season is applied to the construction management system. Finally, it is confirmed the workable date, the field information and the weather information.

The coordination and control of construction projects is vital if a project is to be a success. Almost all analysis has shown that these can only be achieved if good quality communication can be maintained on a construction site. This research focuses on the role that tablet computers could play in enhancing this communication. The following points are investigated in this paper: (a) Whether a tablet computer can enable users to monitor project progress more efficiently than traditional methods, (b) How the tablet computer fits within the project management iron triangle in construction, (c) The two different psychological impacts of information transmission for the end user using a tablet computer (i) The expectancy to transmit information frequently and rapidly from tablet computer users to project members whilst working onsite (ii) The mode of information transmission to the cognition of the transmitted information to the tablet computer. Through the use of structured interviews and questionnaires, the opinions of individuals within various disciplines in construction were canvassed. The approach adopted in this paper deals with understanding both the soft and hard issues for deploying such a system. This research enabled the authors to develop a base framework incorporating the key factors which are relevant for implementing a tablet computer based on information flows primarily.
