This article presents the development of a
project for effective communication, between clients and
builders, through a works control system, in the planning
and construction process of a house, taking as a case study
the city of Cuenca, Ecuador. The investigation was based
on the lack of communication that exists between clients
and builders at the time of starting the construction of a
house, which leads to a series of problems in the progress
of the work, since communication constitutes an
important component that it permanently influences all
societies. Starting from the aforementioned problem, as a
methodology, a systemic method is used, where, for the
collection of information, tools were used, such as:
observation and interview; This made it possible to
diagnose and evaluate the parameters that made up the
model, as well as needs and requirements. As a result,
different communication criteria were obtained, which
allowed proposing an alternative solution, determining
that it is feasible to develop an application that allows
interaction between the client and the builder, in real
time, on the construction processes, which will allow make
effective decisions according to the reality of the project.
The most important conclusion of the project was that the
development of an application (SCOPU application)
shows that, indeed, the use of technology, through digital
tools, facilitates interaction between customers and
builders, and not only in terms of construction, but also in
general terms. By creating a digital application,
communication between the client and the builder in the
process of building their home can be improved, reducing
the probability of cost increases, extensions and
improving the quality of the work at the time of project
delivery
