| Abstract |
The selection of appropriate materials plays a very important role in satisfying the customer in terms of construction project quality, cost and process. Therefore, accurate construction material information analysis is necessary. Designers with little experience in construction material selection, however, make choices without understanding the characteristics of different construction materials, which lowers the quality of the construction. Material information documents are distributed in personal computer without document management system. This paper suggests document management module that composed tag-manager, server and search interface for systematic using of material information documents. Construction material information document prototype system is developed to support member of material company. The effectiveness and efficiency of the developed prototype system was confirmed through interviews with construction material company staffs. There is a need for further studies, though, that will expand the users of the developed prototype system and that will improve the tag information and the system. |
