Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of engineering project construction management, and specifically, it is a collaborative operation and sharing platform based on EPC project management. Background Art

[0002] In the modern engineering construction field, the EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) project mode is widely used as an important general contracting method for engineering. The general contractor undertakes the contracting of the whole process or several stages of the engineering construction project, including design, procurement, construction, and commissioning, etc., and thus assumes full responsibility for the quality, safety, construction period, and cost of the project.

[0003] The EPC project mode has significant advantages. On the one hand, the responsibility is highly clear. The owner only needs to interface with a single responsible entity, the general contractor, which greatly reduces the complexity brought about by coordinating multiple participants. On the other hand, it performs well in cost control. The general contractor can consider the convenience and economy of procurement and construction from the overall perspective of the project at the design stage, effectively avoiding the cost increase caused by design changes in the later stage. At the same time, through strategies such as centralized procurement, more favorable prices can be obtained, reducing the overall project cost. In addition, this mode is also quite effective in controlling the construction period, helping to shorten the construction period and ensure quality and progress.

[0004] However, there are also many problems to be solved in the EPC project mode. For the general contractor, it almost bears most of the project risks. Once problems occur in the project, it is very likely to suffer serious economic losses. Moreover, the comprehensive capabilities required of the general contractor are extremely strict, and it needs to have strong design capabilities, extensive procurement channels, rich construction experience, and excellent project management capabilities, etc. If the general contractor lacks capabilities, problems such as unreasonable design plans, excessive procurement costs, and poor construction quality are likely to occur in the project. Furthermore, in EPC projects, the total contract price is usually fixed. When unforeseen situations occur during the project implementation process, such as changes in geological conditions or changes in the owner's requirements, the general contractor may face the risk of cost overruns, and the owner will also have difficulty obtaining a more optimized solution due to the fixed contract price. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, to address the above deficiencies, the present invention provides a collaborative operation and sharing platform based on EPC project management. Through the resource sharing module and the model generation module, this sharing platform enables the owner to query the commodity information in the resource sharing module in advance before or during the project initiation, combined with the model and model budget generated by the model generation module according to the project requirements, thus facilitating the owner to calculate the project cost and avoiding the situation where the owner is unclear about the detailed prices of each construction link or each commodity during the project construction, resulting in high project construction costs. At the same time, it also reduces the risk of cost overruns for the general contractor due to unforeseen circumstances during the project construction process. Additionally, combined with the project review module and the fund supervision module, it enables users (owners or general contractors) to check the construction progress and construction quality at any time, thus facilitating the timely modification of errors found during the construction process and avoiding the inability to ensure project acceptance after subsequent construction is completed. Moreover, through this method, it can ensure timely payment after each construction unit has completed the construction, reducing the liability of the general contractor and avoiding losses to the general contractor, the owner, and the construction party due to unqualified acceptance.

[0006] The present invention is implemented as follows: A collaborative operation and sharing platform based on EPC project management is provided, including A project management module for creating EPC projects and classifying and managing each project; A user management module for registering or verifying the identity information of users and determining the category of each registered user according to the registration information of the users; A storage module for storing each project information, user information, and detailed information of each commodity category; A resource sharing module for temporarily storing the procurement information of some commodity categories or the project information created by users, and connecting to the storage module to call the detailed information of each commodity category in the storage module, so as to facilitate users to browse and purchase; A model generation module for generating different virtual models based on the different requirements of each project and the detailed information of each commodity category; A project review module for conducting regular reviews according to the construction progress of the project for users to timely check the construction progress and construction quality; A fund supervision module for supervising project funds and making payments according to the construction progress and quality acceptance of the project.

[0007] Furthermore, the sharing platform is software that stores and manages data based on the MySQL database and can run on Linux or Windows operating systems or iOS systems or Android systems.

[0008] Furthermore, the project management module generates EPC projects based on user applications or creations, and the project at least includes a project name, project category, project requirements, and estimated project completion time.

[0009] Further, the user identity information of the user management module is the user's mobile phone information, ID card information, business license information, school identification code information, or government agency code information. The categories of each registered user are divided into different categories according to the user identity information. When the user information is mobile phone information or ID card information, the category is an individual. When the user information is business license information, the category is an enterprise. When the user information is school identification code information or government agency code information, the category is a school or government agency unit.

[0010] Specifically, the user management module further includes a user identity information verification unit to confirm whether the identity information during user registration is correct.

[0011] Further, the resource sharing module is used to display the project information created during a preset time period and / or the uploaded commodity information on the sharing platform for users to browse and select.

[0012] Specifically, the project information is project tender information.

[0013] Further, the model generation module uses Navisworks design model software to generate a model based on the project name, project category, and project requirement information in each EPC project.

[0014] Further, the project review module, based on the start of the project, requires the construction party to regularly upload images or videos of the construction site or work reports during construction for review by the review personnel to determine the subsequent construction plan.

[0015] Further, the fund supervision module is for the project sponsor to control the project funds and release funds to the construction party based on the construction progress and construction quality of different construction parties for the project.

[0016] Further, the sharing platform further includes a cleaning module, which is used to automatically clean the commodity information uploaded by unlogged user accounts and the project information created by such accounts within a preset time period, or the commodity information not browsed within a preset time period.

[0017] Further, the sharing platform further includes a search module, which is used for users to search for corresponding commodities or similar commodities according to the search keywords after logging in to the sharing platform, facilitating the accurate positioning of commodity information.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. Precise cost control: The sharing platform aggregates rich commodity information through the resource sharing module, facilitating users to conveniently query before or during the project initiation. The model generation module generates precise models and budgets according to project requirements. The two work together to help users clearly understand the detailed prices of each construction link and commodity, accurately calculate project costs, effectively avoid cost estimation errors caused by opaque information, reduce cost uncertainties during project construction, and greatly reduce the risk of excessive project construction costs. For general contractors, clearly understanding the cost composition in advance reduces the possibility of cost overruns due to unforeseen circumstances and safeguards the economic benefits of the project.

[0019] 2. Construction quality and progress monitoring: By combining the project review module and the fund supervision module, it is convenient for users to check the construction progress and quality at any time. The construction party regularly uploads construction site images, videos or work reports, and the reviewers conduct reviews based on this. Once errors in construction are found, they can be promptly notified for modification. Ensure that the entire process of project construction is under control, avoiding the situation where the project cannot pass the acceptance after completion due to the accumulation of construction problems. Guarantee the project quality, reduce rework costs, and improve the reliability of overall project delivery.

[0020] 3. Optimize fund flow and responsibility definition: Through the project review module's control of construction progress and quality, combined with the rule of the fund supervision module to release funds based on construction progress and quality acceptance, each construction unit can obtain funds in a timely manner after construction is completed and meets the requirements. This not only safeguards the fund flow of the construction party but also reduces the liability risk of the general contractor in the fund payment link. At the same time, it avoids multiple losses caused by unqualified acceptance to the general contractor, the owner, and the construction party, realizes the effective guarantee and balance of the interests of all parties involved in the project, and promotes the smooth progress and efficient completion of the EPC project.

Any modification of the structure, change of the proportional relationship or adjustment of the size should still fall within the scope that can be covered by the technical content disclosed in the present invention without affecting the effects that the present invention can produce and the purposes that can be achieved.

[0024] As described in the background art, there are many problems to be solved urgently in the EPC project mode. For the general contractor, it almost bears most of the risks of the project. Once problems occur in the project, it is very likely to suffer serious economic losses. At the same time, the comprehensive ability requirements for the general contractor are extremely strict, and it needs to have strong design capabilities, extensive procurement channels, rich construction experience and excellent project management capabilities, etc. If the general contractor's ability is lacking, the project is prone to situations such as unreasonable design plans, excessive procurement costs, and poor construction quality. Moreover, in the EPC project, the total contract price is usually fixed. When unforeseen situations occur during the project implementation process, such as changes in geological conditions and changes in the owner's requirements, the general contractor may face the risk of cost overruns, and the owner will also have difficulty obtaining a more optimized solution due to the fixed contract price.

[0025] Based on the above reasons, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A collaborative operation sharing platform based on EPC project management, including: The project management module 100 is used to create EPC projects and classify and manage each project; The user management module 200 is used to register or verify the identity information of the user and determine the category of each registered user according to the user's registration information; Storage module 300, used to store detailed information of each project, user information and each commodity category; The resource sharing module 400 is used to temporarily store the purchase information of some commodity categories or the project information created by the user, and is connected to the storage module to call the detailed information of each commodity category in the storage module for the convenience of user browsing and purchasing; Model generation module 500, generating different virtual models based on different requirements of each project and detailed information of each commodity category; The project review module 600 conducts regular reviews based on the project's construction progress so that users can check the construction progress and quality in a timely manner; The fund supervision module 700 is used to supervise project funds and make loans based on the project's construction progress and quality acceptance.

[0026] Furthermore, the sharing platform is a software that stores and manages data based on a MySQL database and can run on a Linux or Windows operating system or an iOS system or an Android system.

[0027] As mentioned in the previous paragraph, setting up a shared platform as a software is to facilitate users to log in and view at any time, so that users can check the construction progress and construction quality or browse the required product information and prices at any time, thereby avoiding some users (such as decorating houses) who are unclear about the price and quality of the goods before the project is implemented, thereby increasing the cost of decoration. At the same time, during the construction process, it is impossible to observe the construction progress and construction quality at any time, resulting in a lack of effective communication between the construction party and the user, which in turn causes the construction quality to fail to meet the user's requirements and affect the subsequent progress of the project.

[0028] Please see attached Figure 7 Further, the project management module 100 generates an EPC project based on user application or creation, and the project at least includes a project name, a project category, a project requirement, and an estimated time for project completion.

[0029] As described in the previous paragraph, the project management module is set up to be able to create EPC projects and conduct classified management, covering key information such as project name, project category, project requirements, and estimated time for project completion, which facilitates users to clearly understand the project situation, realizes the overall planning and efficient management of multiple projects, and improves the scientificity and standardization of project management.

[0030] Specifically, the classified management of each project refers to classifying and sorting projects according to the keywords of the project name or / and project category or / and the creation time of the project for subsequent project access.

[0031] Please refer to the appendix Figure 2 , which shows the user login interface. The user identity information of the user management module 200 is the user's mobile phone information, ID card information, business license information, school identification code information, or government agency code information. The categories of each registered user are divided into different categories according to the user identity information. When the user information is mobile phone information or ID card information, the category is individual; when the user information is business license information, the category is enterprise; when the user information is school identification code information or government agency code information, the category is school or government agency.

[0032] As described in the previous paragraph, the user management module is set up with a strict identity information registration and verification mechanism, accurately divides user categories (individuals, enterprises, schools, or government agencies) based on mobile phone information, ID card information, business license information, school identification code information, government agency code information, etc., and has an identity information review unit to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of user information, providing guarantee for the safe operation and targeted services of the platform.

[0033] The classification of user categories in the user management module enables different users to have different operation pages after logging in. For example, the operation pages for individual users are more about house renovation and decoration, rural road construction, etc.; the operation pages for enterprise users are more about factory building construction, park planning, etc.; the operation pages for school users are more about the maintenance of the teaching building exterior wall, playground leveling, etc.; the operation pages for government agencies are more about road maintenance and repair, landscaping, etc.

[0034] The sharing platform classifies users according to the user management module to facilitate recommending different products to different customers on the resource sharing module interface based on the user categories. For example, when it comes to the personal user interface, the resource sharing module mostly recommends decoration construction teams (such as decoration workers in small teams) or home decoration products, etc. When it comes to the enterprise user interface, the resource sharing module mostly recommends large construction teams (such as large engineering teams for building houses, etc.) or large mechanical equipment (such as food processing equipment, mining excavation equipment, etc.). When it comes to the school user interface, the resource sharing module mostly recommends decoration construction teams (for beautifying the school exterior walls, etc.) or teaching equipment. When it comes to the government agency user interface, the resource sharing module mostly recommends municipal road maintenance construction teams or other construction teams or municipal equipment (such as concrete blocks or cone barrels, etc.).

[0035] Specifically, the user management module further includes a user identity information verification unit to confirm whether the identity information during user registration is correct.

[0036] Please refer to the appendix Figure 3 Furthermore, the resource sharing module 400 is used to display the project information created or / and the uploaded product information within a preset time period on the sharing platform for users to browse and select.

[0037] Specifically, the project information is project bidding information.

[0038] Setting up the resource sharing module not only temporarily stores the procurement information and project information of some product categories, but also can call the detailed product information in the storage module, which is convenient for users to browse and purchase. At the same time, displaying the project information (such as project bidding information) created within a preset time period and the uploaded product information on the sharing platform realizes the timely sharing and effective utilization of resources, promotes the information exchange and cooperation among project participants Please refer to the appendix Figure 5 and the appendix Figure 8 Furthermore, the model generation module 500 uses navisworks design model software or other graphic design software, etc., to generate a model according to the project name, project category, and project requirement information in each EPC project.

[0039] According to the above paragraph, setting up the model generation module is to facilitate generating a three-dimensional model diagram according to the user's needs, so that users can create a project based on this need and the three-dimensional model diagram for bidding, and it is also convenient to compare and analyze with the quality of the later construction according to this three-dimensional model diagram, so as to realize the audit of the construction quality, provide intuitive and accurate visual reference for the project planning, design, and construction, help to discover problems in advance and optimize the plan, and improve the quality and efficiency of project implementation.

[0040] Specifically, the model generation module automatically generates a 3D model according to the project requirement information. Meanwhile, based on the further project requirements of the project initiator, through the communication between the model drafters and the project initiator, the 3D model is further optimized until it meets the project requirements.

[0041] Please refer to the appendix Figure 11 Furthermore, the project review module 600, upon the start of the project, regularly receives the images or videos of the construction site or the work reports during construction uploaded by the construction party, and conducts reviews through the reviewers to determine the subsequent construction plan.

[0042] As described in the previous paragraph, the project review module, based on the project construction progress, regularly receives the images, videos or work reports of the construction site uploaded by the construction party, and conducts reviews through the reviewers to determine the subsequent construction plan. This regular review mechanism enables users to timely check the construction progress and quality, realizes the real-time monitoring and dynamic management of the project, and ensures the smooth progress of the project as planned.

[0043] Please continue to refer to the appendix Figure 11 Furthermore, the fund supervision module 700 is for the project initiator to control the project funds and release funds to the construction party based on the construction progress and quality of different construction parties of the project.

[0044] As described in the previous paragraph, the fund supervision module is for the project initiator to control the project funds and release funds according to the construction progress and quality acceptance of the construction party, effectively ensuring the reasonable use and safety of the project funds, motivating the construction party to pay attention to the construction quality and progress, avoiding the waste and abuse of funds, and ensuring the smooth completion of the project. Furthermore, the sharing platform further includes a cleaning module 800, which is used to automatically clean the product information uploaded by the user accounts that have not been logged in within a preset time period and the project information created by these accounts, or the product information that has not been viewed within a preset time period.

[0045] As described in the previous paragraph, the cleaning module automatically cleans the product information uploaded by the user accounts that have not been logged in within a preset time period and the created project information, which helps to keep the platform data clean and effective, reduces the storage and occupation of invalid data, and improves the operation efficiency and user experience of the platform.

[0046] Please refer to the appendix Figure 4 Furthermore, the sharing platform further includes a search module 900, which is used for users to search for corresponding products or similar products according to the search keywords after logging in to the sharing platform, facilitating the accurate positioning of product information.

[0047] As described in the previous paragraph, setting up the search module enables users to quickly and accurately find the products they need, thus saving the time for users to browse products and effectively improving work efficiency.

[0048] Furthermore, the shared platform further includes a supplier and a demander. The supplier includes a general contractor, subcontractors, and purchasers, and is used to upload goods, etc. to the shared platform. The demander is a customer, and is used to issue project requirements and select a supplier.

[0049] When a user uses this shared platform and needs to create a new project, the following two solutions can be adopted: 1. First, log in to their own account through the login interface. After logging in, according to the project requirements needed, jump to the model generation module 500 to generate a project requirements model diagram. During this process, the details of the project requirements can be communicated with technicians according to the interface in the model generation module 500 to ensure that the model diagram is consistent with the user's expectations. After the model diagram is completed, export it and pay the technicians a remuneration. Subsequently, create a new project according to the project requirements and the model diagram. After the new project is created, the technicians managing the shared platform will recommend this new project to the general contractor. After the general contractor directly communicates the details with the customer, the general contractor undertakes the project and selects subcontractors for construction according to the construction requirements of the project.

[0050] 2. First, log in to their own account through the login interface. After logging in, communicate directly with the technicians of the shared platform about the project requirements through "Contact Me" on the home page. The technicians recommend corresponding general contractors to the customer according to the type of project requirements. Subsequently, the customer selects a general contractor for further communication, and a new project can be created through the general contractor. The information of the created new project is displayed in both the general contractor's account and the customer's account.

[0051] When a user views their own project, they only need to log in to their own account, and can view the construction progress, construction quality, and project funds of the project from the user management module 200.

[0052] Through this shared platform, it is convenient for customers, general contractors, and subcontractors to operate collaboratively during construction, avoiding the general contractor bearing greater responsibilities and resulting in increased subsequent costs. At the same time, during the construction process, the customer can check the construction quality at any time to avoid abnormal construction quality that may cause the subsequent continuous construction to be unable to complete the project acceptance, resulting in irreparable losses.

[0053] The above description is a detailed description of the preferred feasible embodiments of the present invention, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the patent application of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made under the technical spirit disclosed by the present invention should fall within the scope of the patent covered by the present invention.
