A Framework to Enhance Utilization of Automated Progress Measurements in Construction Projects
Publication: Construction Research Congress 2022
ABSTRACT
Deviation between project baseline and actual performance is a common challenge in the construction industry. Traditional monitoring and tracking of construction project status is labour-intensive, error-prone, time-consuming, and costly. Despite research and technological developments, the optimal level of efficiency in automated construction project measurement has not been met. Not achieving the desired automation efficiency is caused by a significant gap between using automated progress measurements and traditional project measurement systems. This requires a structured framework for integrating automated data acquisition and progress measurement through baseline plans. This paper proposes a systematic, generic framework to integrate baseline development with 5D Building Information Modeling (BIM) and automated project monitoring and measurement. The integration process involves using work packages and S-curve to automatically measure progress values. Also, interviews with five industry experts were conducted to assure the applicability and feasibility of the proposed framework. Developing this framework will help the construction industry to maximize the benefits of implementing automated project measurements and minimize the problems of traditional measurement methods.
