Abstract
Effective and economic management of construction projects requires knowledgeable cooperation between all parties concerned throughout all stages of the process of design and construction. Engineers and accountants should be trained together in aspects of contract administration to break down the traditional differences between them in Egypt. Project management requires both technical and financial skills in close cooperation. It is time now to formulate a typical model of a contract for construction management consultation, to be used as a guide for clients. Concerned syndicates and interested parties should have an important role in setting up such matter. gestions For Future Work
tension for the knowledge bases of the systems are proposed to have wider and owledge specially for the new problems of construction delays which will be _the society development problems which arising from the new world incoming .. r extensions including linking the systems to external programs, construction t programs and estimating program to integrate a powerful decision support
dealing with construction problems.
have an open architecture that permits easy extension for each one to include of dealing delay problems and I or more detailed analysis for the existing ones of the proposed systems may include automating the weighting (scoring) ’h cause of delay on the total project delays, and also can indicate the share of .. ion member (such that footings, slab on grade, columns, slabs ... etc) which is many reasons (major variation orders, material procurement, shipment of , design defects, unexpected soil conditions ... etc), by applying fuzzy set at linguistic expressions of a human expert may be automatically evaluated dding confidence factors for the rules used in the knowledge bases of the help to increase the performance and the reliability of the answers. The knowledge-based systems forces the process of organizing and checking under consideration. In this study, that alure revealed Some areas, which needs further detailed research. It is recommended that lure studies in dealing with the causes of constructions projects delays should consider (i) SUbcontractor’s problems. (ii) Training methods for engineers on construction management science and applications.
(iii) Repair and improvement the financial structure of Egyptian construction companies.
(iv) Enlargement of the data base on construction projects and construction industry from others professionals (accountants, financial managers, quantity surveyors, architects, ... etc.).
(v) Make site measurements of the real.effect of each cause on the delay time of the project to detennine the accurate share of all parties of the pruject (contractor, consultant, owner) on the delay to consider it at the end of the project and to make records for the future use.
(vi) Researches into the causes uf project delays must take into account a variety of contingency variables such as the project stages in its life cycle . . Diagnosing Expert System (DES) well continuously being refined. Hopefully, it wiIJ ’noovative capabilities to the new generation of project-control system that are being delay in a construction project generates experience and expertise in recognizing and ing mistakes. This knowledge is costly to companies in time, labor, and safety as will tuaI cos!. This expertise can be accumulated, collated and disseminated by delay is systems. Thus giving future managers the benefits of experience without the cost learning the lessons on each project omain of diagnosing the causes of failure of cnnstruction process may be an ting one to map into a knowledge base and it is expected to have considerable.
