The design of the lifting device(mobile crane vs tower crane)has big influence on construction efficiency and the whole building process.That is why we made this design optimization of lifting mechanisms for many types of building site.Basic algorithm of this methodology was made with respect to structure of the area,time and technology.Construction,shape and dimensions of the designed building are also necessary be taken into consideration,as well as shape and weight of the load.We also included building site characteristics and required deadline.The decision between two basic types of lifting devices,i.e.mobile crane or tower crane,also depends on economy,ecology,time and spatial demands.After collecting information from many building sites,we made computer software,which could be accessible for layman and even for specialists in building engineering.This software is also approachable for smartphones,what makes it more accessible.Every user inputs basic information(building site location and characteristics,area,building construction,deadlines and load).Very important are deadlines of particular procedures-foundation construction,vertical support constructions,horizontal support constructions,staircase and roof.The choice between mobile and tower crane will be made by this software after imputing all this information.The lifting devices are also compared in compliance with economy and ecology and subsequently sort from the most suitable to the most inconvenient.This methodology and software should help with selection of the most suitable lifting device for every specific construction and solve problems with building material transport as well.These problems can result in project delay,what often means cost increase.
