摘要

目的网络物理系统(CPS)可实现虚拟模型与物理环境的协同整合。这种整合在加强建筑项目信息管理方面的潜力日益得到认可,从而有助于改善建筑成本管理。同样,工料测量师(QS)通过估算和监控建筑成本,在建筑项目中发挥着关键作用。因此,本研究旨在探索通过整合 CPS 重新定义工料测量师的角色。通过异质目的性抽样,对专家进行了两轮分别为 21 和 19 个半结构化访谈。使用 NVivo12 对数据进行了基于代码的内容分析。研究结果通过对 15 项 CPS 应用和技术的鉴定,实证证明了 CPS 在促进英国皇家建筑师协会工作计划各阶段中质量服务人员的九个关键角色方面的潜力。研究确定了 CPS 可促进质量保证服务的九项关键作用,包括初步估算、测量和量化、合同管理、编制 BOQ、中期估价和付款、投标和合同文件、成本计划、成本控制和采购建议。该研究探讨了采用 CPS 技术如何改变传统的工料测量实践,并提高其在建筑行业中的价值。原创性/价值该研究成果首次通过整合 CPS 重新定义了工料测量师的角色,然后强调了 CPS 在建筑行业中的用途,而不是像以前的研究那样将其局限于建筑行业的特定领域,从而为知识体系增添了新的内容。这项研究揭示了其他几个有关 CPS 的研究领域,因为它是第一项评估 CPS 以促进质量保证服务关键作用的研究。研究结果可通过在应用开发人员和行业领导者之间建立更多的伙伴关系,提高对 CPS 的认识,并促进 CPS 的实际实施。

Facilitating the role of quantity surveyors through integration of cyber-physical systems
Purpose Cyber-physical systems (CPS) enable the synergistic integration of virtual models with the physical environment. This integration is gaining recognition for its potential to enhance construction project information management, thereby contributing to improved cost management in construction. Similarly, quantity surveyor (QS) plays a key role in construction projects by estimating and monitoring construction costs. Consequently, this research aims to explore redefining the role of QSs by integrating CPS. Design/methodology/approach The research adopted an interpretivism stance to collect and analyse data. Two rounds of 21 and 19 semi-structured interviews were conducted, with experts selected through heterogeneous purposive sampling. Code-based content analysis was used to analyse the data using NVivo12. MS Visio data visualisation tool was used to present the findings. Findings It is empirically proven the potential of CPS to facilitate nine key roles of QSs in all stages of the RIBA plan of work through the identification of 15 CPS applications and technologies. Nine key roles of QSs that CPS can facilitate were identified as preliminary estimation, measurement and quantification, contract administration, preparation of BOQ, interim valuation and payments, tender and contract documentation, cost planning, cost control and procurement advice. The study explored how adopting CPS technologies can transform traditional quantity surveying practices and enhance their value within the construction industry. Originality/value The findings add to the body of knowledge by redefining the role of QS through the integration of CPS for the first time and then by highlighting the usages of CPS in the construction industry rather than limiting it to a specific sector of the construction industry, as previous studies have done. This research uncovers several other research arenas on CPS as being the very first research to evaluate CPS to facilitate key roles of QSs. The findings can enhance the awareness and the practical implementation of CPS by intervening to form more partnerships among application developers and industry leaders.
