PREDICTE - An Intelligent System for Indicative Construction Time Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The project early design-stage indicative construction time estimate (Predicte) system is an expert system that is designed to provide indicative construction time estimates of concrete-framed, multistory building projects at the concept or early design stages when relatively little project information is available. Given a preliminary design concept for a multistory building, Predicte returns a listing of the major construction activities required to build the building, the activity duration times, and their start and end dates. In this chapter, we describe the construction time-estimation process and our automation of this process. We discuss the implementation of Predicte and how it was developed , tested, and deployed. We also discuss the maintenance of the system and its business payoff.
