U.S.-German Cooperative Research: Linking Design and Construction with Construction Method Models

该奖项支持来自斯坦福大学的Martin Fischer博士和一名研究生与慕尼黑工业大学岩土与建筑工程研究所的Adolf Schub及其团队的合作。这两个小组的研究重点都是改进用于建筑项目管理的信息模型和系统。斯坦福大学的团队正在研究自动化分层建筑规划；慕尼黑团队致力于项目成本估算和实时项目控制。它们共同为支持建筑规划功能的综合项目管理框架和系统提供了基础。已经开发了互补的软件原型系统，允许用户快速生成详细的分层构建时间表和基于活动的成本估算，团队将联合起来生成一个软件系统，允许用户实时生成集成的成本估算和时间表。

This award supports Dr. Martin Fischer and a graduate student from Stanford University in a collaboration with Adolf Schub and his group at the Institute for Geotechnical and Construction Engineering of the Technical University of Munich. Both groups focus their research on improving the information models and systems available for construction project management. The Stanford team is working on automated hierarchical construction planning; the Munich team is working on project cost estimating and real- time project control. Together they provide the foundation for an integrated project management framework and system to support construction planning functions. Having developed complementary software prototype systems to allow users to rapidly generate detailed hierarchical construction schedules and activity-based cost estimating, the teams will combine to produce a software system that allows users to generate integrated cost estimates and schedules in real time.
