An information system for the management of the new home construction process. The system is designed to be used by builders that reuse house plans or product information in the new homes they build. Three distinct steps in the process are used as the basis for the information model: product development, procurement and order fulfillment. The software is divided into three modules based upon three distinct dialects that must be related and communicated efficiently. The option module is used at on-site sales offices, facilitating the automated selection of defined builder options, creating a completed house design with pricing. The procurement/contracting module is used to maintain quotes and contract information on subcontractors responsible for constructing the new home. The production/scheduling module is used to manage the activities of all subcontractors, to ensure timely and efficient meeting of construction deadlines and the approval of all work as completed by subcontractors for payment. The information system uses semantic database tools. The semantic database stores information as objects, relationships, and role players for efficiency in reaching the finest levels of detailed information required to build a new home economically and at predetermined project levels.
