Database Systems for Construction Professionals: DMI Databases for Quick Bid

DMI Database systems overcome inefficiencies and inadequacies associated with traditional construction oriented databases. Two primary concepts, divergent from conventional techniques regarding the organization of these databases, underlie the DMI Database method and system. These two concepts are "end user logic" and "comprehensive scope". The first primary concept, "end user logic", logically separates data sets into the following three categories:
  1. Material data sets.
  2. Labor data sets.
  3. System data sets.

This fundamental modification enables the construction professional to manage a database that is comprehensive in scope. The second major concept, "comprehensive scope", is simply a complete database inclusive of the data sets desired by construction professionals. A comprehensive database includes the following three components:
  1. Data sets representing standard materials currently produced in the industry.
  2. Data sets representing aspects of labor associated with the industry.
  3. Data sets representing systems comprised of materials and labor aspects utilized in the industry.

By compiling complete and accurate data, and organizing the data correctly, DMI Database systems facilitate both speed and accuracy during the procedures used by construction professionals. Additionally, the procedures become less demanding on the intellect of the construction professional, because much of the judgment has been replaced by automation within the DMI Database.

Consequently, DMI Database systems and methods enable less experienced construction professionals to produce much more "experienced" results. Nevertheless, DMI Database systems and methods are equally well-suited to experienced construction professionals. DMI Database systems save the experienced construction professional both time and energy that can be used to refine his/her own work and/or the work produced by less experienced colleagues.

Moreover, time saved by construction professionals within a company enables that company's executive administrators to reallocate tasks for the following reasons:

Inexperienced construction professionals can now accomplish more.
  • Inexperienced construction professionals can learn more because the automation associated with the DMI Database method and system provides them with access to insightful information.
  • Inexperienced construction professionals can produce more work because the automation associated with the DMI Database method and system reduces uncertainty associated with the processes.
  • Inexperienced construction professionals can perform more advanced tasks because the automation associated with the DMI Database method and system provides them with more accurate results.
Experienced construction professionals can now accomplish more.
  • Experienced construction professionals can be more productive because the automation associated with the DMI Database method and system reduces stress and fatigue associated with the thought processes.
  • Experienced construction professionals can produce better work because automation associated with the DMI Database method and system enables them the luxury of extra time to review and refine their work.
  • Experienced construction professionals can supervise their colleagues, who are not as knowledgeable, more effectively because the automation associated with the DMI Database system promotes uniformity and consistency in work produced by the entire staff.
Furthermore, timesaving does not end there; rather, this is just the beginning. Now the company's executive administrators have more flexibility to reallocate work for the following reasons:
  • The less experienced employees can communicate their ideas more effectively because the consistency of the DMI Database method and system helps co-workers to act in concert more quickly and thoroughly.
  • The more experienced employees can utilize time saved via the automation associated with the DMI Database system by becoming advocates of synergy among all the company's departments. More experienced employees can redistribute their expertise to augment efficiency within and among each of the company's departments.

An important benefit associated with the DMI Database system is removing the drudgery associated with the procedures typically performed by construction professionals, thereby encouraging employees affected by the DMI Database system to become more productive members of their companies.
