Innovative cost estimation methods for building production

Abstract

Abstract Technological progress is reflected in all industries. Obsolete project manuals in the construction industry are being replaced by digitized automated controls that monitor the project in real-time. One of the main trends is the introduction of technologies based on data analytics. Effective use of technology to collect and analyse data is key to improving a building's planning and management across its life cycle. Building information models, which process digital content related to the entire life cycle of a building, are becoming an effective tool. The main goal of the paper is to design and identify the structure of the developed database, which, based on the acquired knowledge, contains graphical models that have selected non-graphical information.
