Abstract: The construction process incorporates many workflows including early cost projections, detailed estimates, schedule of values, contract agreements, cost reporting, scheduling, contract controls, and change orders. Careful management of data from inception to completion is critical for project success. In this paper, we demonstrate the use of databases and spreadsheets, powered by mobile technology, to address a unified process that has practical field applications. We provide real project experiences that demonstrate the execution of these processes in conjunction with established mobile data collection technology to substantially improve project success.
