A Study Of Effective Utilization Of Information On Foreign Construction Materials

The construction cost consists of labor fee, materials cost and machinery cost. In these three items, construction materials cost has a share of nearly 45% in Japan. So it is often said “reducing the all expenses of construction cost should be done by cutting down the cost of the materials.” According to our researches it is clear that not so much foreign construction materials are used in Japan, and there is little information on foreign construction materials. So we studied what kind of foreign construction materials information should be requested in construction industries. And then we proposed to make a new website on foreign construction materials to improve these conditions. We have studied to make basic website for foreign construction materials it will be used not only for Japan but also East Asia countries. Such a useful website & database will help Japanese companies to increase the imports of foreign construction materials. And also the website will be applied to overseas, not only East Asia countries but also to the world.
