Government agencies and construction firms are hearing demands for greater accountability while doing their work with greater precision and at lower costs. Tax payers and their representatives want faster answers. Construction firms need to efficiently predict their income and their subcontractor payments. And change orders that are inevitable in any project need to be documented, approved and tracked to ensure proper payment. This paper is designed to provide guidance to all stakeholders working towards a successful transportation construction project and describes how automation and good business processes can augment their practices. This paper looks at successful management practices and the application of automation to better administer construction projects. It outlines a comprehensive set of processes that provide a "closed loop" of construction activities and payments for those activities. The benefits of the paper point to consistency in process and results. For the covering abstract of this conference see ITRD number E216597.
