A Prototype Construction Duration Estimating System (CODES) for Mid-Rise Building Construction

Abstract

This report describes the concepts that support the development of the prototype Construction Duration Estimating System (CODES) for mid-rise building construction. The prototype system: (1) breaks down the construction process into major activities, (2) sequences activities logically, and (3) estimates, approximate activity durations of major construction activities. While the CODES prototype is limited to office and residential construction projects, through an enhancement of the user interface, project-specific features can be input to the prototype to modify its produced schedules. CODES is presently in its validation and testing phase.
