Application Development to Reduce Generation Time for Punch List

Abstract

With the recent improvement in the quality of life, more and more people are now demanding higher quality in terms of construction projects. Accordingly, construction techniques and construction control techniques have advanced. Recently, various construction project quality control techniques have been introduced. However, due to the non-optimized processes, it is difficult to commercialize these techniques. The biggest problem of the existing task process is ‘the duplicated input’. The ‘input at the site’, the first phase of the ‘duplicated input’, is entered by typing within the application. However, due to the characteristics of the tasks on a construction site, it takes a long time and thus is inappropriate. Second, ‘the input at the office’ is problematic as it requires manual input for each sentence. The first problem was improved by changing the on-site typing method to ‘input by item selection’. The second problem was improved by using ‘automatic sorting’ for the on-site input within the application. When the improved task process was implemented in the application, the working hours were reduced by about 18.4%. © 2019 The Authors.
