Introduction
❑ The management of construction projects is highly
demanding and involves a wide range of tasks. It involves all
managerial functions, forms of organization, techniques and
tools, and the range of duties expands with the complexity
of the project, as does the amount of data. Tools are needed
to store and process the very large amounts of Information
that can be accumulated and as a result, various types of
software are available for managing construction projects.

 Today, software can support project managers in all
their tasks such as:

 ETABS - ETABS stands for Extended Three-Dimensional Analysis of Building System. It is an engineering software
product that caters to multi-story building analysis and design. Modeling tools and templates, code-based load
prescriptions, analysis methods and solution techniques, all coordinate with the grid-like geometry unique to this
class of structure.

10 ETABS
 AutoCAD Civil 3D - is a civil engineering design and documentation solution that supports Building
Information Modeling (BIM) workflows on a variety of civil infrastructure project types, including roads and
highways, land development, rail, airports, and water.

11 AutoCAD Civil 3D
 STAAD - STAAD is a comprehensive structural finite element analysis and design
application that allows users to perform analysis on any structure exposed to

B. Project
Communication
Software
Communication software is an application or
program designed to pass information from one
system to another. Such software provides remote
access to systems and transmits files in a
multitude of formats between computers.
C. Digital Construction
Diary Software
Digital construction diaries range from simple
templates for word processors, to internet-based
systems with complex data structures. By
integrating media such as photo documentation,
the cogency of the construction diary can be
increased. Pictures can prove especially useful to
remote team members.
