Abstract
The construction industry has been criticized for its slow acceptance and use of modern management methods to plan and execute projects. This study proposes a management system which encourages a small or medium sized contractor to investigate various schemes of cost and scheduling of projects. It is a tool to be used by a general contractor to achieve the balance of schedule and cost considerations ultimately benefiting the owner. The Management Information System (MIS) proposed in this study utilizes the capabilities of the micro-computer. Various computer programs are used for input/output, storage and determination of project related criteria. Recommendations are offered for future expansion of this management information system.
