  • Apparatus and method for a vertically integrated construction business
    Patent number: 6687559
    Abstract: A system and method for a vertically integrated construction business. More specifically, a system and method for employing the World Wide Web in a business that vertically integrates the concrete materials procurement, specification, submittals, quotation, testing for compliance with specifications, automated mixture optimization, and manufacturing processes in the construction industries. A relational database is provided with linked objects to create both standards-based and manufacturer-based specifications for concrete and concrete constituent materials. Concrete recipes utilizing the defined specifications are developed either prescriptively or performance-based. Standards-based basemixes that specify concrete can be instantiated into production mixes using local materials. All of the data is preferably published in XML format over the Internet, providing real-time feedback to concrete batch plants and specifiers.
