<p>The present invention is a system and a method for comprehensive data integration and management of large-scale building projects. The disclosed invention allows integrating into a comprehensive construction project management tool data from graphic drawings of the design plans independently of the CAD tools with which they were produced. In a semi-automatic manner, the drawings are received in any type of electronic image format and all necessary information may be extracted from them. The disclosed management tools are software applications which allow the user to specify the project requirements for the planning team and translate building plans into the necessary data for managing building projects such as operational tasks, lists of required materials, budget planning and scheduling. The tool also enables keeping track of the project's progress and dynamically updating cost and schedule calculations.</p> |
