1. A construction project management system for an individual construction project, comprising:
- a database including groups of information regarding a plurality of construction projects, the groups of information organized in a hierarchical fashion in accordance with activities pertaining to a construction project, each group of information designated as either being applicable or inapplicable to a construction project and being designated as not completed, partially completed, or completed in relation to an activity;
at least one group of information including data regarding the nature of a corresponding individual activity;
means for observing the groups of information and data included on the database; and
means for interacting with the groups of information and data included on the database, the interacting means permitting a user to designate whether a group of information is applicable or inapplicable to a particular construction project, and the interacting means permitting a user to designate whether a particular activity has been completed, not completed, or partially completed.
