# Data Model Designer

## Business Case

### Problem Statement
Construction data management challenges:
- Fragmented data across systems
- Inconsistent data structures
- Missing relationships between entities
- Difficult data integration

### Solution
Systematic data model design for construction projects, defining entities, relationships, and schemas for effective data management.

## Technical Implementation

## Quick Start

```python
# Create model
model = ConstructionDataModel("Office Building A")

# Add standard entities
model.add_entity(ConstructionEntities.project_entity())
model.add_entity(ConstructionEntities.activity_entity())
model.add_entity(ConstructionEntities.cost_item_entity())

# Add relationships
model.create_relationship("activities", "projects")
model.create_relationship("cost_items", "projects")

# Generate SQL
sql = model.generate_sql_schema("postgresql")
print(sql)
```

## Common Use Cases

### 1. Custom Entity
```python
model.create_entity(
    name="change_orders",
    description="Project change orders",
    fields=[
        {"name": "id", "type": "integer", "nullable": False, "constraints": ["primary_key"]},
        {"name": "project_id", "type": "integer", "nullable": False},
        {"name": "amount", "type": "float"},
        {"name": "status", "type": "string"}
    ]
)
```

### 2. Generate ER Diagram
```python
er_diagram = model.generate_er_diagram()
print(er_diagram)
```

### 3. Validate Model
```python
issues = model.validate_model()
for issue in issues:
    print(f"Issue: {issue}")
```
