Recently construction projects become more bigger. So construction companies have being performed cost and schedule management task by using PMIS. In engineering and construction phase, progress management which occur the most frequent information I/O(input and output) should be managed effectively by PMIS. Although most information by PMIS manage efficiently, cost-schedule information for progress management is difficult to be managed due to recurrent information input. thus when changed by price fluctuation and change order, progress management could not connnect cost information with schedule information. So it caused inaccuracy of progress measurement and data increase in PMIS. To solve this problem, This study suggests improved module for progress management through integration of cost-schedule using quantity take-offs as progress measurement method.

Progress measurement provides project participants with valuable information in terms of 'current status', 'corrective countermeasure', and 'forecast of future risks'. However, the managerial effort (or workload) required to acquire and maintain detailed progress data has been the major barrier to practical implementation. Even though recent efforts in utilizing data acquisition technologies (DATs) have actively attempted to automate the progress measurement process, previous DAT research has only been focused on limited construction tasks or selected technologies. This paper proposes a DAT selection algorithm that automatically assign an appropriate DAT for every commodity item for an entire constriction project. Five different criteria were identified and developed in order to comprehend specific requirements for automating the progress measurement of each commodity group. A case-study and also a survey from practitioners were conducted in order to validate the proposed methodology.

The construction Progress is widely used 3s a critical index for effective project management. However, the methods, structure, data, and accuracy of progress measurement may vary depending on specific characteristics of the project, organization, or location. Even in an organization, different projects may utilize different measurement methods to effectively achieve their own management purpose. The excessive effort required to manipulate very detailed progress data is also an issue Therefore the purpose of this study is to dove]op an automated progress measurement model utilizing standard progress measurement package (SPMP).

Time management is important in construction management Especially, in the high-rise apartment housing projects, it is very important to expedite the construction progress in order to meet the planned schedule. The objective of this paper is to propose the baseline for the progress rate using work volume and man $\cdot$ hours performed at work activity level. The work volume far each activity is transformed to the weighted value compared to total work volume for the floor Therefore, a progress rate for an activity is calculated by multiplying a weighted value and work volume. A progress rate for a floor and a building can calculated in this manner, respectively.

Reliable progress management at construction requires integrated information of cost and schedule, and information is used as a basis for project performance measurement. However, separate handling of cost and schedule information at construction projects makes objective measurement more difficult and decreases management productivity due to additional works for breaking down bill of quantities into corresponding activities. Recently, research related to BIM addresses issues on effective progress management based on BIM with incorporation of daily progress management. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to propose information model for daily progress rate and budgeted cost of work performed by utilizing BTM-based quantity and location information.

Recently, domestic construction projects Have become more high-rised, bigger, sophisticated, so necessity of logistics and progress management through application of various management theories has also been increased and development of IT technologies like RFID can help to improve management method, although the existing logistics and progress management studies are applied only to single progress or important material. It is a basic research for integrated framework for logistics and progress management. An analysis on the characteristics of RFID tech was performed for major materials or components of each work item in office building projects. This paper will make foundation of integrated framework for logistics and progress management in construction project, utilizing RFID technology by analysing materials type like materials which can be chased and measured, materials which can be chased and measured by certain methodologies, materials which can be chased and measured by future technologies, materials which are difficult to be chased and measured. So we can effectively control logistics and progress management, appling the optimum RFID technology to each construction project, and we need to study out solution in order to overcome RFID technology limitation through development of specification counterproposal about delicate materials of the RFID technology application.

In the construction phase, the existing schedule management system by 4D CAD has been difficult to check for a status and progress of construction product in real-time because it simulates only VR (virtual reality) object based on a planned schedule. This study suggests a construction schedule management system by telepresence technique that can visualize progress status in real-time by using 4D CAD system based on remote monitoring. The telepresence methodology and system were developed in the study and they were verified for a railway construction project. The developed system can examine the status and progress of construction because it can compare 4D simulation based on planned schedule with real-time site images through web-camera.

As building construction projects have been more higher and bigger in scale, the needs for cost reduction, productivity improvement, and reducing of work terms have rapidly increased in recent years. There has been, accordingly, a great emphasis on the necessity of logistics and progress management by well-organized system developed based on the appliance of different management theories. Although highly developed IT technology has contributed to the efficiency and effectiveness in information research and project management, RFID has been merely applied to a single progress or a few types of materials in current management studies, not to the overall process of the projects. This research proposes a consistent and systemized approach for decision making in adopting RFID technology in a construction project to support construction logistics and progress management. With a decision making model that consists of process model and template developed in this research, risks in cost, time, and error in building RFID-based construction logistics and progress management could be minimized.

There have been research and developments for effective and efficient logistics and progress management in a construction project. Among them, RFID+4D has been developed for the supply chain management of long-lead item materials such as steel component, precast concrete component and curtain wall by integrating RFID with 4D CAD. And the feasibility of RFID+4D has been verified and validated and the benefits in terms of time and cost were shown in several case studies. However, the previous development of RFID+4D has not been adapted widely because of additional modeling cost, non-real time data update, additional labor for data update, and so forth. Therefore, this research has proposed a framework and process for solving these problems. And the web based simulation system has been developed and verified based on the proposed framework. The proposed framework and process can improve the existing RFID+4D system in a construction project by saving its operation cost and utilizing project information more efficiently and effectively. Also it is expected that the proposed framework could be applied to a method transferring design RIM data to construction BIM data.

The project control system based on the actual values of three objects shall be operated continuously in a timely manner. For collecting/tracking accurate actual performance data, a reasonable basis of measuring work performance and its related measuring methods are needed. Therefore, this research proposes a method of developing and operating the construction progress measurement system. The problem of the conventional method is the difficulty to construct control accounts and to define the basis of measuring the performance of each control account. Therefore, this research proposes the preferable, formal methodology that produces the progress value of the smallest work unit by surveying the installed quantities and estimates percent complete of groups of works or entire project by earned value concept. This research in connection with the hereafter research of the weight value of control accounts will contribute to apply in practice and to develop the scientific construction management technique in the construction industry. Further researches how to trend and forecast the project using the measured progress value are recommended for putting the prosed system of this research to practical use.
