Abstract

Managing Cost using the Power of GIS
Track: Architecture, Engineering, and Construction
Authors: Joseph McGenn

The management of project costs has been vastly improved by integrating ArcGIS and SQL. This has enabled project costs to be dynamically calculated, improving management, design and programme. ArcGIS was used to capture design, linked to cost using SQL queries. Real time spatial and statistical cost analysis allows quick decisions to be made at all levels, and throughout a projects lifecycle. This has opened the door to new ways to analyse data dynamically within GIS.
