Method of Using Weather Information for Support to Manage Building Construction Projects

Abstract

Weather conditions have a great effect on building construction projects. The projects would avoid the risks from weather conditions if the weather information were used. This paper proposes to use weather information to support to manage more effectively building construction works on a construction field. A project management software is used to show how the real-time weather information is integrated to schedule management by coding in VBA. Further studies are necessary to complete the supporting system for the utilization of historical weather data and the prediction of weather effects on construction schedules.
