This chapter should understand the composition of construction engineering information flow and the basic links of construction engineering information management, master the basic concepts of construction engineering information collection, processing, storage and retrieval, understand the basic concepts of construction engineering business flow chart and data flow chart, and focus on the key points of information collection at various stages of construction engineering projects.
Section 1 Overview of Construction Engineering Information Flow
The construction project is a complex system composed of many units and departments, which is determined by the complexity of the construction project. In order to communicate at any time, all parties involved in the construction must standardize their own information flow and organize reasonable information flow. When all parties need data and information, they can get it from relevant departments and personnel in time, and the data and information are provided in a standardized form. Accordingly, all parties concerned must also provide data and information in the specified format to other departments and users within the specified time to standardize information management. We hope that the supervision engineer will always consider: when to provide data and information to whom; When, from what department, from whom, and what form of data and information are obtained.
I. Composition of information flow of construction projects
The information flow of construction project is composed of the information flow of all parties. As a subsystem of construction project system, the information system of supervision unit is only a part of information flow. The information flow of the construction project is shown in Figure 2- 1.
Second, the information flow composition of the supervision unit and the project supervision department
As a supervision unit, there is also information flow. The information system of the supervision unit pays more attention to the internal management of the company and the macro management of the construction projects supervised by the supervision department. For a specific project supervision department, it is also necessary to organize the necessary information flow and strengthen the micro-management of project data and information.
Understanding the correct information flow among the participants in the construction project aims at establishing a reasonable information flow of the construction project and ensuring the authenticity of the engineering data and the timely generation of information.
