System for the Management of Construction Projects
First Claim
1. A computer-based system for managing construction projects comprising:
- an input device coupled to a processor, the input device configured to receive, from a user, input relating to a construction repair project;
an output device coupled to the processor, the output device configured to provide the user with information output by the processor; and
wherein the processor is programmed to perform the following actions based on user input;
determine material requirements for the repair project and provide the material requirement to the user via the output device;
determine the labor requirement for the repair project and provide the labor requirements to the user via the output device;
generate a cost estimate for the repair project and provide the cost estimate to the user via the output device;
generate purchase orders for materials based on the material requirements;
generate a work crew schedule based on the labor requirements; and
generate a project schedule that provides a timeline for work to be performed on the repair project.

Abstract
A computer-based system for managing construction repair project that includes an input device coupled to a processor, an output device coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is programmed to perform certain actions based on user input. The processor is programmed to determine material requirements for the repair project, determine the labor requirement for the repair project, and to generate a cost estimate for the repair project. The processor is also programmed to generate purchase orders for materials based on the material requirements, generate a work crew schedule base on the labor requirements, generate a project schedule that provides a timeline for work to be performed on the repair project, while regularly providing status updates to the user regarding the work performed on the repair project.
