CONSTRUCTION OFFICE AUTOMATION. VOLUME II - CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS ESTIMATE MANUAL

This research project was aimed at increasing the productivity of construction, office, and laboratory functions. Application of microcomputer procedures in highway construction has replaced existing manual procedures for construction progress estimate processing and material test computations. The project has enhanced the information flow to project engineers, area engineers, district engineers and headquarter managers in an efficient manner. It has developed a total microcomputer hardware/software configuration that enables interfacing with the mainframe computer. The existing field office personnel can operate each of the systems with less than one week training of each system. Volume I describes the system hardware selection process and the development, implementation, training, conclusions, and recommendations for each of the Construction Progress Estimate and Construction Material Testing systems. Volume II is the Construction Progress Estimate Manual. Volume III is the Construction Material Testing Manual.
