During the normal progression of a project from engineering through procurement and to construction there is a need to handle an enormous amount of information that is widely spread over the many disciplines. The final recipient and user of this accumulated database is construction due to its downstream position. JGC's construction team utilizes the data efficiently on a case-by-case basis by drawing from the database to create an optimum construction plan. In addition, JGC staff have to solve various problems and analyze information that develops during the construction phase and carry out effective countermeasures in a timely manner. JGC has developed unique IT tools to handle these issues. The available database selection covers engineering data, to procurement data to construction know-how historical data, subcontractors' data, estimation data, and on-site monitoring data. There are also available a Construction Cost Estimation System (COCOS) to estimate the construction cost, 4-Dimensional Construction Simulation System (4D CAD SYSTEM) that enables dynamic planning by including the time factor, Construction Management System (CMS) to integrate various databases, and Site Cost Control System (Pro-SCATE) to monitor the site construction cost."E-Construction" is the next generation technology that assists construction to bring the project to a successful completion.
