  • Patent number: 7761318
    Abstract: An exemplary method and system for administering a construction activity for a telecommunications company can include designing the activity, transmitting the activity to a second datastore, and communicating the one or more tasks. The first datastore may include an inventory of at least one of one or more tasks and inventory items and the second datastore may provide a communication interface for a first entity managing the activity and a second entity completing the one or more tasks to accomplish the activity at a construction site, where the one or more tasks can be communicated to the second entity. Moreover, the second entity can create a change in plan and communicate the change in plan to the second datastore, which in turn communicates the change in plan to the first datastore. Generally, once the change in plan is approved, a task is completed for the activity.
