| Abstract | The contents of present-day construction-progress reports are found to be inadequate, not only in the reported items but also in the style. Therefore, it is necessary to examine them and suggest improvements. The main purpose of this study is to set up suitable contents of
the construction-progress reports together with the method of collecting data and recording information. From the contents of current progress
reports and the requirements of clients, it is revealed that the main items of the progress reports are :
1. Up-to-date general status of the project.
2. Planned vs actual progress.
3. Causes of delay & proposed remedial actions.
4. Forecast date of completion.
5. cash flow.
6. Change of works.
7. Contractors' input resources.
8. Accident records.
9. Weather.
10. Photographs.
It is also found that the data for the above-mentioned items can be collected from test records, inventory records, request for approval records, accident records, daily reports, weekly reports and from other sources, such as, newspapers, magazines, government announcements, journals, etc..
In the final section of this study, a bridge construction project
is chosen as an example of a comprehensive progress reporting system. |
