Managing construction projects through 4D perspective: GALA 2012 – project management software

Benefits that come from project management in construction industry are very weak. Furthermore, construction projects have great issues with communication, particularly among different stakeholders: designers, planers, contractors, supervisors etc. This communication is especially evident of terms of quality delivered amongst different stakeholders. In order to deal this issue, we have developed GALA 2012, an innovative project management software application for integrating 3D building design with cost, which managers can use for an integrated 4D approach for managing projects. The application consists of a preset database of normative and predefined analysis of cost. During its development, GALA has been tailored for construction markets (bills of quantities (BoQ), work diaries, invoices, project schedules, histograms and S-curves etc.) similar to the Croatian and nowadays is used by many construction professionals and faculties in the region. Even though GALA has been validated in practice, further development is forthcoming, especially in collaboration abilities on enterprise level.
