GALA 2008: Construction project management software

Project management has a low reputation in construction. Only 33% of projects meet their time objectives and 66% have issues with meeting their cost objectives. This paper elaborates on a tool ? GALA 2008 - for integrating cost and time in construction projects which managers can use to achieve higher project management success. The application consists of more than 20000 norms of material, work and machines, and more than 9000 analysis of cost. It has been tailored for construction markets similar to the Croatian. This software helps construction professionals generate: bills of quantities (BoQ), work diaries, invoices, project schedules, histograms and S-curves (material, work, machine and cost) and manage procurement on site. We have validated its use in practice and came up with guidelines for further development ; such as collaboration abilities on an enterprise level.
