Information and analytical tools for monitoring the prices of material and technical resources (MTR) of construction

Abstract

The article deals with features and principles of the price monitoring system for material and technical resources operating now in the road industry. To improve the process of information collection, processing, and analysis concerning the cost of building materials, products, and structures, as well as other types of resources, it is proposed to reinforce a centralized single database of material and technical resources on the basis of regional data. Minimization of costs for data collection, storage, processing and use is possible only with the maximum automation of electronic data collection and exchange, which is realized during the implementation of elements of the centralized monitoring system (CMS) in practice. The architecture, algorithm, and regulations for the formation of a CMS are proposed.
