In order to survive in this difficult environment, “Management” becomes the key issue to achieve company’s target. We need a powerful tool that can help us to handle complicate process such as estimation, bidding, purchasing and site-management in the life-circle of a construction project. In this research, we develop a Daily Report Mo- dule for Construction Management Information System. In this module, we use Object Oriented concept to mi- mic project schema by dividing each item into building-floor-room hierarchy. In this system, all constructed items will be calculated and converged into money request data. This will heavily save the key-in time and pre- vent human mistakes from multiple-input. Through the help of this tool, we can effectively calculate the cash flow for a construction project and accurately control the amount that we can claim from owner and pay to sub- contractors. It can also provide warning message to prevent overcharge or overpayment in construction operati- on. Through the help this system, we can integrate construction data and transport site information to the head quarter through world-wide-web immediately. This can help us to improve administrating capabilities, increase competition and make profit for construction companies.
