DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTERISED MARKET SURVEY REPORTING SYSTEM
ABSTRACT
This project is based on the possible exploration of computer Technology in Today society in market surveying in the daily discharge of duties.
This project involves the design and development of computerized market survey report analysist.
The design will enable the user to achieve a desirable report at an increased efficiency, accuracy and speed of doing work and at the same time reduce man – hour repured for piece of work.
This calls for an alternative method which ie accurate, quick and inexpensive. This project achieved merit by eliminating all these flows that result from manual operation and present a very accurate, decisive and systematic measure of survey report.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
In order not to embrace hitch in the carrying out of any project, it is necessary to define the objective of the project. The process surveying enable us to map out the limitation and the delimitation of the project.
In surveying, we set out the necessary steps and areas that considered to be useful and necessary to implement the objective.
In this case, we identify the problem, it’s sources, causes and to identify solutions to the problem.
In the case study of doing these, the objective must be certain.
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The Background of this study involves indent study of the system report being designed to determine the input data to the report system and how system report objective can be realized.
Data collected or survey made determined the system output and input and grouped into various files (1) Equipment requirement.
EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENT: To use this report system in survey the following equipment may be needed.
i) An IBM or its compatible
ii) Magnetic Diskette (3.25 x 5.25 or 35 x 3.5 inches)
iii) An IBM line printer or its compatibl
iv) A printer interface cable.
Optional equipment:Hard Disk Properly Installed.
MEMORY REQUIREMENT: The design of this system was highly structured by breaking the program in module using Top-Down design technique and loding the program in GW BASIC. Each program after use call another program from the diskette and pass over the content of relevant variable over to the incoming program by using “COMMON” statement it minimizes effectively the size of primary memory required by the system.
TEST DATA
The whole system was tested by obtaining survey analysis of previous building project. Fed the cost of sub-element into the system and compare the output.
DOCUMENTATION
This system is documented in a way that any one who is not a computer scientist or market surveyor can use it effectively. The following types of a documentation are implemented.
- i) Design documentation
- ii) Operational documentation
iii) Test documentation
1.4 OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT AIM
Market survey report system has the following objectives
(i) To give client good value for money
(ii) To achieve the required balance of expenditure between the various parts of the building
(ii) To keep expenditure within the amount allowed by the client.
