The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
In the diploma thesis, the student attempts to connect his work as closely as possible with the digitalisation of the construction process, as he believes he has been working in this field for a number of years, since he began his professional career at Lumar IG. The company began implementing a digitalised quotation system linked to drawing and calculation software, encountering a number of challenges in the process. The decision to divide individual processes in this way stems from his desire to focus on his work in the company and improve it through the diploma thesis. Above all, he emphasises the finding of what impact the human factor has on this process.
Problem
In the diploma thesis, the student attempts to connect his work as closely as possible with the digitalisation of the construction process, as he believes he has been working in this field for a number of years, since he began his professional career at Lumar IG. The company began implementing a digitalised quotation system linked to drawing and calculation software, encountering a number of challenges in the process. To better understand these challenges, he decided to investigate in the diploma thesis whether digitalisation can reduce the occurrence of errors, whether it is possible to implement digitalisation in every part of the work process, and whether errors occur between the digitalisation processes themselves.
In order to define individual processes more easily, he decided to divide them into four sections: conceptual drawing, bill of quantities and calculations, quotation, and execution.
Solution and Method
The decision to divide individual processes in this way stems from his desire to focus on his work in the company and improve it through the diploma thesis. The diploma thesis will focus on three of the mentioned sections, namely conceptual drawing, bill of quantities and calculation, and quotation. In the thesis, he examines the difference in the bill of quantities and calculation when performed by a person or by a programmed digital tool first, where deviations occur and whether these deviations are significant, and whether errors are transferred between individual processes or not.
He also defines where errors occur and why. In the main part of the diploma thesis, he describes and executes the entire process from conceptual drawing, preparation of bills of quantities and calculation to preparation of the quotation, and examines whether such a method or work process can be used in every case. At the end of each section, he compares the new working method with the traditional method, where all processes are performed by an individual, although it is not necessarily the case that there is only one executor, which is very common in practice and where the greatest discrepancies occur.
Results
Above all, he emphasises the finding of what impact the human factor has on this process. At the end follows a summary of the entire diploma thesis and a concluding thought, in which he once again summarises the key points and answers the main question of his diploma thesis – whether digitalisation of the process is possible in all cases of execution.
