Desarrollo de un prototipo de aplicación para la elaboración de presupuestos y cronogramas preliminares utilizando el entorno de trabajo “power platform” de microsoft 365

Abstract

With the growing technological advancements evident in recent years, the need to explore and create new methodologies for developing routine activities in various fields of information has become essential to achieve greater market competitiveness and improved work performance. However, one of the main challenges lies in integrating these technologies with traditional work environments, which often remain disconnected due to a lack of professional training in new technologies and, in many cases, their steep learning curve. To address this, the use of Microsoft Power Platform is proposed for developing a prototype prefeasibility report generator focused on creating budgets, schedules, and financial data for single-family and multi-family housing projects located in the department of Cundinamarca under established constraints. The goal is to make this process simple and practical, without requiring complex programming elements, leveraging the advantages of "low-code" solutions at low cost, with efficiency and replicability for different projects. Finally, the prototype's functionality was analyzed by comparing it with documented budgets and schedules from other projects to determine its validity and reliability in various scenarios. The results showed appropriate performance, particularly in projects with average finishing levels and industry-standard considerations, where complexity is low and the level of detail and studies required is minimal.
