3. PREAMBLE TO THE DESCRIPTION:
PROVISIONAL
The following specification describes the invention. COMPLETE
The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed.

Field of the invention
[001] The present invention relates to the construction industry and more particularly, the present invention relates to the project management discipline of operation division in the real estate sector of the construction industry.
Background of the invention
[002] The operations in the real estate sector usually spanned over years which is in direct co-relation to the size and quantum of projects taken up. During this tenure, multiple functions work on multiple areas of operations at different spans of time. Though the goal of any operation is to maintain continuity, accuracy and authenticity of information. It is required to take timely decisions to address problems, establish a proper channel of communication, motivate operations staff and complete the project within the stipulated time and cost. The expansion of the project and the continuous change in organisation structure makes it difficult to achieve these common goals apart from other problems. Moreover, due to frequent changes in laws, regulations and customer requirements, the project brief and specifications also change over time, making it more difficult to manage information and track cost and time. Hence, as a result, time and cost overrun has become a norm of the industry. Additionally, due to the lack of authentic data, the same data is reproduced by different departments over the span of the project, resulting in huge manpower loss. The present system resulting in problems such as
• Decisions taken based on the availability heuristic or incorrect data that has undergone multiple iterations over a period of time taken up by multiple people, leading to partial addressal of problems or increasing the problem or creating an altogether new problem.
• More amount of time and attention is required to identify the problem than resolving the problem.
• Creating reports for meaningful decision taking and monitoring takes more time. Hence, there is always a lag involved in decision making and a substantial man-hour loss, without realising the requisite benefits.
• Difficulty in tracking of project health with respect to time, cost and resource because of lack of analysed data.
• Improper and untimely communication of information to different stakeholders of a project, about the status of the project and change in decisions taken by management. This results in a costly change management process or loss of business.
• Lack of real time dynamic update of the operational process outputs, owing mainly to the operational constraints of a human, which otherwise a computer or software can handle.
• Lack of component level budgeting and scheduling, thereby resulting in an improper understanding of effect of addition or deletion of components on the project health.
• The scheduling tools are available to help with building a schedule for construction projects though they are time consuming in building a schedule and these schedules are not owned by the project construction team. Hence, it is ultimately responsible in delivering the project within stipulated schedules.
• Lack of direct co-relation of performed work and performance assessment of operational staff. Additionally, perception-based assessment leads to attrition of resources that could be privy to important information that could have an adverse effect on the project.
• Lack of analysis on issues being faced by the industry repetitively.
• Lack of data and access to similar information results in more meetings among team members, resulting in loss of manpower.
[003] Accordingly, there is a need for an automized project and related document management system for coplanar monitoring of time, cost and resource, and auto risk management for construction related operational activities.
