Smarter construction site management using the latest information technology.

Abstract

With rapid developments in building information modelling (BIM) technology, the collection, analysis and sharing of information over the full life cycle of construction projects is becoming increasingly important. This paper proposes an innovative BIM-based intelligent site management model which combines the internet, three-dimensional scanning, digital construction models, virtual reality and augmented reality. The model can be used for smarter human resource management, machinery and resource allocation, supervision of materials, site access, quality control, safety and other important information. Decision-making can be based on live updates which will, in turn, improve productivity and ..
