Özet

Monitoring the remaining amount of the stocked material stored at the construction site is difficult and error prone when the intense and hurried work at the construction site is considered. Underestimating the construction wastes leads to ordering materials in short quantities while overestimating the wastes would lead to long term storage requirements of the material which may lead to deteriorate. In this study a smart contract based construction material quantity tracking frame system is proposed in order to prevent the aforementioned adverse consequences. The proposed system detects the required amounts of construction material from the quantity takeoff data. The construction schedule is investigated to detect the time of the consumption requirement of the construction material. Proposed system determines the order time of the material to ensure the on time commencement of the construction activities. The waste amounts of the construction material are measured and the quantity of stock is updated by considering both the waste and the construction progress. The frame work detects any lack of construction material and updates the material order quantities and the corresponding payment amounts.
