Proposing a Database to Organize The Schedule Time of Residential Building Projects

Abstract

This research aims to provide an addition to the methodology of time management by adopting criteria for dividing project work into work areas, taking into account the limitations that cannot be exceeded ,In the regular time plan, the number of work areas is chosen according to the experience of the studying engineer, which results in unrealistic time periods that are often ignored. However, in the proposed time plan, this was done through realistic criteria that are as close as possible to the actual working conditions. These criteria were determined after the reference study, and a questionnaire was conducted and distributed to a number of engineers and contractors. Then, the database models were defined: the spatial model for residential buildings, the physical element model, the organizational element model, and the task model.

The unified modeling language (UML) was used to write various models, after completing the models for organizing the time of residential building projects, the models were converted into a relational database, which includes a number of tables and these tables were linked together.
