Abstract: Methods and systems for managing construction projects are provided. The methods and systems can be based on component-associated data where components can be assigned identifiers, drawings, cost codes, and man-hour values according to industry standards. Components can be grouped, sorted, searched and accessed through a database (a component library). Project schedules and work packages can be formed based on components and their associated data through a planning system. The schedule can be altered at the component level by adding or removing components, or stretching or shrinking the schedule. Constraints can be used to restrict a schedule or work package from being released until the constraints are satisfied. Once released, schedules can be updated to track construction progress of the project underway through a tracking system. Reports can be generated to reflect productivity of construction crews or individuals and track progress of the project.
