Resource

Define resources that may be associated with a task in a work plan
For technical detail, refer to fp_assign_construction_resource_to_task
Different types of resource are handled through different concepts in this functional part. Each type resource or concept is identified by type below. However, globally unique identification and owner history is set for each resource as:

	Set the globally unique identifier and owner history for the relationship between the construction resource and the task. These should be handled directly by the software application and should not require action by the user.
	Identify the resource.
	Identify the resource group (type) e.g. as plant hire, rental etc.
	Set the extent of the resource consumption e.g. wholly/partially/not occupied.
	Set the base quantity in which the equipment resource is measured.

Construction Equipment Resource

• Resource may be identified as article number, RFID tag etc.
• Resource group may be identified as plant hire, rental etc.
• Consumption should be wholly/partially/not occupied

Construction Material Resource

• Resource may be identified as article number, buying code etc.
• Resource group may be identified as sand, gravel etc.
• Consumption should be wholly/partially/not consumed

Construction Product Resource

• Resource may be identified as article number, buying code etc.
• Resource group may be referenced from the product catalogue etc.
• Consumption should be wholly/partially/not consumed or occupied (depending on the product)

Labor Resource

• Resource may be identified by payroll number, social security number etc.
• Resource group may be identified by the general actor function such as carpenter, plumber etc. (may be similar to the actor role specification)
• Consumption should be wholly/partially/not occupied

Additional attributes include:

Specify the skillset used by the labor resource.

Subcontract Resource

• Resource may be identified by contractor identifier etc.
• Resource group may be identified by the type of subcontract resource (bar bending, insulation etc.)
• Consumption should be wholly/partially/not occupied or consumed
• Base quantity for this purpose is the subcontract unit and is therefore likely to be 1.

Additional attributes include:

	Identify the actor performing the role of the subcontracted resource.
	Describe the jobs that the subcontract should complete.

Crew Resource

• Resource may be identified by whatever means are appropriate etc.
• Resource group may be identified by whatever means are appropriate
• Consumption should be wholly/partially/not occupied or consumed
• Base quantity for this purpose is the crew unit and is therefore likely to be 1.

Additional attributes include:

The aggregation of the construction resources that make up the crew (typically labor and equipment).
