Concept Development of an Automated Construction Design Review Advisor

Abstract

This report presents the interim results of research to develop a personal computer-based hypertext system to help U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) personnel perform constructibility reviews on construction design documents. It identifies the most promising sources of constructiblity review information, presents formulation of a concept prototype as well as review comments obtained after a demonstration to USACE Omaha District field design reviewers, and identifies future efforts required to develop a fully operational system. The BCO ADVISOR represents the second step in design review. The Automated Review Management System (ARMS) improved the management of design review. The BCO ADVISOR will improve the performance of design review.
