Along with the development of information technology, mobile devices have been widely employed to record construction inspection. In addition, building information modeling (BIM) is also used to provide information for construction inspection. However, even with the help of mobile devices and BIM, the quality of inspection heavily depends on the information retrieved to examine the on-site condition. Therefore, there is a need to develop a system that can retrieve necessary information and compare it with the on-site condition in real time to improve the process of construction inspection. This research combines BIM and mixed reality (MR) technologies to develop a construction inspection system. Within this proposed system, the construction engineer can employ the head-mounted MR device, HoloLens, showing the BIM model on the construction job site with the exact scale to retrieve the required information for inspecting the jobs in progress. In addition, by employing the function of spatial mapping of the MR device, the construction engineer can also measure and record the on-site jobs to identify the differences between the planned and the actual works in real time. Furthermore, the inspection record can be uploaded to the database on the cloud for better management. The process and quality of the on-site inspection can be effectively improved by employed the proposed BIM-MR integrated system.","PeriodicalId":264899,"journal":{"name":"Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Design, Construction and Operations III","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124683820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the vast pace of new technologies innovating the whole life cycle of construction, the revolution seems vital. The ideas of digitization and digitalization in Industrial Revolution 4.0 are currently entering the market in most industries including the construction industry. While most other industries have undergone tremendous changes recently, the construction industry has been reluctant about plenarily embracing the newly emerging technological adoption. Varying sophistication of construction, this paper was empirically evaluating large construction firms’ point of view on challenges of the construction industry in the era of Revolution 4.0 using survey data form. The findings reveal that construction companies need to deal with the manifold PESTEL (political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal) challenges. By adopting the Revolution 4.0 hindered by lack of policies, financial problem, limited demand for innovation among large economic players, lack of trust towards foreign partners, and limited adaptability of foreign software. Clearly, this paper helps scholars and industry players to redefine the development of the construction industry into detailed strategic plans or policies in the future. In a nutshell, transforming the construction industry into digitization and digitalization might confront few challenges but the longterm benefits obtained throughout application should not be forgotten.","PeriodicalId":264899,"journal":{"name":"Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Design, Construction and Operations III","volume":"270 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125827461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cinquepalmi, Francesco Ruperto","doi":"10.2495/bim190181","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2495/bim190181","url":null,"abstract":"The traditional workflows used to define construction costs are characterized by a series of common criticalities due to physiological inefficiencies of analogical or not-completely-digital processes. These include the waste of man-hours due to continuous requests for clarification by the computer scientist, or the transmission of partial or unverified information by the design team, or even inaccurate and approximate measurements based on 2D drawings. This can lead to lower levels of reliability of cost estimations with consequent design risks and the need for variants in progress, exceeding the project budget or the expected timeframe. The BIM approach can mitigate these risks, but it is necessary to define a planned and robust method that supports the consistency between the items of calculation and the elements of the model. This method needs to be based on a structured breakdown of the building and the activities necessary to the project, according to a clearly planned methodology. Therefore, it is necessary to define an approach capable of generating digital workflows and automatically updating quantities (especially in the event of changes to the project), as well as to ensure the correspondence between modelled elements and computation items, in order to have a consistent workflow and make immediate and clear the updating of information on each project document. The paper is oriented to the definition of a structure for cost planning process, which uses the experimentation of computer tools aimed at extracting the quantities directly from the model, allowing the automatic update in case of changes, through the use of a PBS (project breakdown structure), shared with the entire design team, and using a code system associated with the elements of the model, the calculation, but also to specialist reports, detailed graphics and schedules.","PeriodicalId":264899,"journal":{"name":"Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Design, Construction and Operations III","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131016264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the BIM process management, the virtual model’s verification and validation are becoming too complex to be managed and controlled by normal procedures, which leads to the development of non-traditional strategies for reviewing the BIM database completeness and correctness by the automation of collecting and arranging these BIM Data to generate useful and simple information which helps in achieving the targeted outcomes. Monitoring BIM vital information for optimized design processes management is becoming more necessary and introduce the question of how big the information is related to the BIM process and projects development. The segregation of information according to process needs, real-time availability, and the accessibility of information is crucial for successful implementation and also helps in the analysis of information for BIM process time and wastes optimization. Decision-making based on reference analysed information is clearly affected and good results are noticed. This paper introduces types of BIM design process information and its segregation according to function, and how this data is controlled by an in-house developed Electronic Data Management System (EDMS) on Common Data Environment CDE. It also shows cases of how BIM information is reviewed, analysed, and corrected by automated solutions which help to enhance decision-making on different management levels.","PeriodicalId":264899,"journal":{"name":"Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Design, Construction and Operations III","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123831884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
