Building control operations are streamlined by developing knowledge management
The building control department of the municipality of Tuusula is developing its operations by improving information management and operational reporting. An innovation project carried out by students at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences aims to make more efficient use of resources and to illustrate the results of the work more clearly.
The aim of the project has been to develop the management of information produced by building control and reporting formats to meet the needs of many user groups as well as the monitoring and planning of operations. The broader aim has been to improve the efficiency of building control resources and the predictability of operations.
The aim has also been to investigate how information generated during construction can be made as widely available as possible to local residents. Previously, construction-related reporting has mainly been presented to residents in the form of statistical data, which has not always been easy to understand. Through development and research work, the building control department wants to find ways of presenting information that make it easier for residents to obtain information about construction in Tuusula.
The illustration method developed in the project is a visualisation that brings together the most important information related to construction. The information is presented clearly using charts and diagrams, which makes it easier to review and understand.
The project entitled “Developing knowledge-based management in Tuusula building control” was carried out by Pinja Jokinen and Amanda Oinonen, third-year architectural engineering students at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences. Carrying out innovation projects is part of Metropolia’s architectural engineering degree programme.
