The rise in carbon emissions poses a critical threat to global climate, necessitating a comprehensive analysis of buildings' whole lifecycle carbon emissions. Since buildings typically have extensive lifespans, analyzing their operational carbon emissions—emissions produced during their use phase- is critical. Building Information Modeling (BIM) fa...
Construction projects frequently face delays, presenting significant challenges to effective project management. Identifying the causes of these delays and determining which stakeholders are responsible for addressing them is crucial for effective mitigation. While progress reports from construction sites offer valuable insights into project status...
The imperative for real-time automatic construction progress monitoring (ACPM) to avert project delays is widely acknowledged in construction project management. Current ACPM methodologies, however, face a challenge as they rely on collecting data from construction sites and processing it offline for progress analysis. This delayed approach poses a...
Cameras are one of the most valuable sensors for collecting high-quality visual data on construction sites for uses ranging from surveillance to automated information exaction. The dynamic nature of sites means the visual data from cameras can suffer from occlusions and lack of coverage due to progressing works, hindering the performance of automat...
Timely progress update in the project schedule is essential for managing the critical path and expected project completion date. With the advent of AI-powered construction progress monitoring, inferring up-to-date progress information from visual data (images/videos) has become very much possible. Principally, these methods compare as-built reality...
Effective progress monitoring is crucial for successful construction project delivery. Visual data, comprising images and videos of construction operations, has emerged as a valuable source for gaining comprehensive insights into project status. While various vision-based methods have been developed for automated progress monitoring at the element...
Within the overarching theme of “Managing the Digital Transformation of Construction Industry” the 23rd International Conference on Construction Applications of Virtual Reality (CONVR 2023) presented 123 high-quality contributions on the topics of: Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR), Building Information Modeling (BIM), Simulation and Automation...

Effective progress monitoring is ineviTable for completing the construction of building and infrastructure projects successfully. In this digital transformation era, with the data-centric management and control approach, the effectiveness of monitoring methods is expected to improve dramatically. "Digital Twin," which creates a bidirectional commun...
The urban population is expected to increase from 56.61% (2021) to 68% (2050), hinting at an enormous population inflow in urban areas across the globe. As governments worldwide toward a sustainable way of life with sustainable development goals (SDG), today’s urban areas encounter challenges such as pollution, overcrowding, housing, traffic, and p...
Monitoring the progress of construction projects is crucial for ensuring successful project delivery. Visual data, such as images and videos, has emerged as a valuable source of information to understand the status of construction operations. Over the past few decades, several vision-based methods have been developed for automated progress monitori...
Recent research has focused on visualizing and analyzing massive visual data (images/videos) captured at construction sites to improve coordination, communication, and planning. One key approach is to generate reality models (point clouds) from ordered visual data using three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction pipelines and then compare them with the...
Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) projects face various opportunities, challenges, and risks when adopting different information management technologies and collaboration strategies among stakeholders. Considerations for adopting new information management technologies go beyond the technical requirements. They are also related to t...
In construction, project schedules are still created and updated manually, which takes time, causes errors, and leads to poor planning and scheduling, one of the main reasons for project delays today. Consequently, overcoming these challenges requires an automated schedule management method that extracts information and knowledge from existing and...
Half of the global population lives in cities, and it is still increasing as people are moving to cities in search of better education, job opportunities, and so on. The existing infrastructures of the cities are being stretched beyond their capacity and requirements for well-organized urban environment and efficient urban management are rising. Ur...
Visual data captured at construction sites is a rich source of information for the day-to-day operation of construction projects. The development of deep-learning-based methods has demonstrated their capabilities in analyzing complex visual data and inferring valuable insights. Recent applications of these methods in construction have also shown pr...
Concrete, the second most consumed material on earth after water, is considered as the backbone of modern construction. Excess or shortage in concrete supply may lead to wastage of material, time, and cost in a construction pro- ject. At present, ready-mixed concrete is widely used in the construction industry, and it is generally supplied to const...
Deployment of automated progress monitoring methods in construction sites is becoming essential to overcome the challenges faced by the conventional manual reporting-based project monitoring techniques. The vision-based methods for automating the construction progress monitoring have been gaining popularity recently because of the availability of a...
To respond to the challenges like population growth, climate change, economic instability, cities are taking a data-driven, modern technology-oriented approach to provide better service, improved quality of life and a sustainable future. With the advancement of technologies, such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), applications of information i...
The visual data collected from the construction sites are rich sources of information for automated construction progress monitoring. It possesses the potential to supplement the conventional daily report-based progress monitoring system with visual verification of three-dimensional progress status. Researchers have developed several vision-based m...
Construction projects are facing challenges like low productivity, time & cost overrun, safety issues, etc. Lack of monitoring of site activities and resources is found to be one of the major causes of failure. Eradicating this cause with the conventional method needs domain expertise and high cost. The applications of computer vision (CV) based te...
The project delivery system and the contracting strategy adopted are the main governing factor that decides the success of a construction project in terms of time, cost, and quality. With the rising complexity of projects and stringent legal regulations, traditional practices turn out to be inefficient leading to disputes, cost, and time overruns....
The traditional approach followed in the construction industry often struggles to deliver the project on time and within budget. Lack of precision and exactness in the process of information flow leads to conflict between stakeholders. Inability to understand and interpret 2D drawings often leads to reductions in productivity, more chances of defec...
Schedule delay and cost overrun are the two major challenges for the successful project delivery in construction. It has been reported that significant delays in construction projects are caused by rework and there are several reasons for rework. A framework has been proposed to assess the delay due to two primary reasons for rework, (i.e. design c...
In today’s scenario cement-concrete has become the backbone of infrastructure development. The use of concrete is increasing day by day and so does cement. One of the major concerns is that the cement manufacturing contributes 7% of total man-made CO2 emission in the environment. At the same time India being a developing country secured the second...
