An assessment of the efficiency of the information system of design-and-survey organizations based on the analysis of the information capacity of projects implemented

Abstract

The article features an analysis of the global and Russian construction markets and reflects the place of design-and-survey organizations in the development of this industry. Relying on the findings of a critical analysis of existing approaches to analyzing information costs, the authors bring forward a methodology for assessing the efficiency of the information system of a design-and-survey organization based on the analysis of the information capacity of projects implemented. The article introduces the term "information capacity". The authors have worked out a classification for information costs arising in developing a project. The testing of the methodology was conducted through the example of the activity of the design-and-survey organization JSC Institute "Kazan Promstroiproyekt" (The Republic of Tatarstan (the Russian Federation)). The authors have brought forward recommendations on boosting the efficiency of the organization's information system. © IDOSI Publications, 2014.
