Description It is well known that integration of computer applications in the areas of planning, design and construction would help in saving time and cost of construction and in improving productivity. A simple methodology for integrating computer aided design with construction scheduling has been presented in this paper. It makes use of the widely used standard software application packages namely AutoCAD and MS-Project along with MS-Access database. The integration was achieved by developing suitable interfacing modules and also by creating the knowledge based expert system for incorporating the construction expertise to be used for achieving integration. The general architecture of integration has been presented in the paper. The working of integration methodology proposed in this paper has been demonstrated by taking an example of a RC Beam-Slab Bridge.
