Construction industry is an aggregate of information that diverse information is integrated and controlled. To implement successful construction projects, it can be said that the information management is very important. In particular, because information of construction sites is controlled in a form of documents, importance of the document management in construction has been increased. But, by controlling information through documents, there are difficult problems in writing and classification of the documents and preservation and utilization of the information. Also, due to incompletion of the information management system, difficulty in systematic info management arises. For this reason, this study intends to suggest the document information breakdown structure for controlling document info efficiently which is generated at construction sites. For this, through the examination of preceding studies, establishment of the concept of the document info breakdown structure, the space breakdown structure, and the info breakdown structure, availability of document information is intended to heighten.

Earthwork is an operation that provides space for structures, and it takes up a large portion of the construction costs in a construction project. In large-scale earthwork, numerous types of construction equipment are used in the operation. The types of equipment should be selected based on the field conditions and the construction methods. These construction vehicles are constantly changing positions during the earthwork operation. Therefore, the equipment operators require effective communication to ensure the efficiency of the earthwork operation. All equipment operators should exchange information with the other equipment operators. Information should be exchanged continuously to support decision making and increase productivity during the earthwork operation at the construction site. This paper investigates the attributes required for an information interface between construction vehicles during an earthwork operation. This paper 1) discusses the importance of an information interface for construction vehicles in order to increase productivity during an earthwork operation, 2) analyses the types of attributes that need to be communicated between construction vehicles, and 3) provides a database that has been built for attribute control. The database built for the information interface between construction vehicles will enhance communication between vehicle operators. Table I shows the typical attributes that should be shared between the excavator operator and the dump truck operator. This information needs to be shared among the operators, as it helps them to plan the earthwork operation in a more efficient manner. A database has been developed to store this information in an entity relation diagram. A user-interface display environment is also developed to provide this information to the operators in the construction vehicles. The proposed interface can help exchange information effectively and facilitate a common understanding during the earthwork operation. For example, the vehicle operators will be aware of the planned volume, excavated volume, transportation time, and transportation numbers. As a part of this study, mobile devices, such as mobile phones and google glasses, will be used as hands-on communication tools.

Many construction companies have developed many kinds of information system to integrate the information created in the phase of planning, design, procurement, construction, and maintenance of construction project. However, the previous researches for the state of applying information technologies and the efforts of the analysis of the present information system launched in domestic construction industry is very rare. There also has been short of research on the construction decision-making support theory in construction business and industry. Hence this paper would contribute in identifying the state of information technologies and the theory of decision-making support of the information system in general construction company. and suggest the characteristic model on the information system for the construction decision-making support. The model consists of the two dimensions; (1) organizational hierarchy (2) data analyzing technology. This research, especially, can be expected to initiate the discussion on framework for understanding the construction decision-making support system in construction industry. The model is nut a practical methodology, but a window that offers a new perspective un sources of information system in each construction company, and thus can provide a clue of the useful guide to construction information system development.

Construction industry try to use weather information because construction is much influenced by weather conditions. However, the researches, how to use the weather information in construction fields at present state, are not sufficient. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to present the methods for improving weather information application by analysis the present state in building construction fields. The results show that educations about application of weather information are poorly conducted though the construction engineers know that weather information is helpful to improve the performance and that weather information serviced is not suitable to apply their field's work. Based on the results, for improving the application of weather information, the construction engineers are structurally educated about applying weather information and the weather information system is developed to specialize the building construction projects. Additionally, construction companies have a long term plan to cultivate the experts who equally have a good knowledge and experience of weather information and construction technologies. These proposed methods help to decrease the influence of weather conditions and finally to improve the performance in building construction projects.

Currently, the process of selecting products such as construction materials and equipment in the design phase proceeds based on the reuse of products used in the previous projects or samples from design companies as well as information on the limited products provided from the website of several manufactures. In particular, it is urgently required to formulate a standard product information management system that can be utilized in the BIM-based design environment these days. In Korea, domestic construction information classification system was developed, but its utilization has been underestimated since continuous studies on the practical usability are still lacking. Therefore, this paper derived problem of domestic construction materials information system by comparing with abroad material information system. Issues and implication is derived in terms of (1) Input information (2) Provide information, and (3) Utilize Information.

The Ministry of Construction and Transportation (MOCT) has been constructing a nationwide soil information DB since 2000, as basic data for the construction of 'underground geographical information,' a project under the 2nd National Geo-spatial Information System (NGIS) master plan. The inputted soil information includes not only underground conditions such as the layer depth, type, color, and groundwater level, but also engineering information that can be applied to construction work design, such as on the standard penetration test and the compression test. It is difficult to use this information in soil analysis and design, however, because only the test results are currently available. A web-based geo-spatial information system was developed in this study to facilitate the effective application of the soil information database (DB). First, the space information, layer information, and engineering test information were loaded from the soil information DB in real time, and the earth volume, bearing capacity, and settlement were calculated to develop a web client that will evaluate the ground softness and liquefaction. It seems that the soil information DB can be actively applied to the planning and design of construction works using this system.

The smart convergence environment, in which all industries are converged around ICT infrastructure -- with the eventual inclusion of both industry and culture -- looms. With the emergence of new convergence industries such as smart medicine, smart cities, and smart automobiles, the ICT infrastructure is recognized as the foundation of the overall economy. As such, the importance of the next generation of information and communication construction businesses, which constructs the ICT infrastructure, is highlighted under the smart convergence paradigm environment; various multilateral policies to foster the information and communication construction business -- led by the Ministry of Science, ICT, and Future Planning -- are being implemented. Like other infrastructure industries, however, the estimation of the demand function of the information and communication construction business overall is essential for effectively establishing promotional policies for information and communication construction businesses. However, there has been no study which theoretically estimates the market demand function in the information and communication construction business thus far. The pursuit of a creative economy is a national agenda, as the significance of accelerating the ICT infrastructure is emphasized. Therefore, this paper seeks to estimate quantitatively the demand function in the information and communication construction business using empirical data and a statistical model and then to present policy implications which will aid the development of the information and communication construction business.
