Construction Cost Index (CCI) and Building Cost Index (BCI) published by Engineering News Record (ENR) are two of the very popular cost indexes used in the industry. Many state DOTs publishes their highway construction cost indexes to keep track of the current trend of cost escalation. The ENR BCI and ENR CCI are prepared by collecting cost data from agents of the 20 cities in the country. Such manual process of collecting cost data can be costly. The proposed method of price data collection, based on a computer technology called “web scraping,” can automatically collect material prices and labor wage …

Daily work report (DWR) is a very important data recorded by the inspectors during the construction projects. Although, a lot of time and effort is invested to collect this big amount of DWR data, its use has been limited mostly to the contractor payment and dispute resolution. This study presents the methodological details about utilizing the historical DWR data to automatically generate the schedule for future projects based on the bid data. As a proof of concept of concept, as-built schedules has been developed from the DWR data. The as-built schedule generated can be used as a tool for more …
