3D Scan Information Management System for Construction Management

Abstract

The profit of Construction Industry has been tremendously reduced for recent years in Taiwan. In order to survive in this difficult environment, "Management" becomes the key issue to achieve company's target. We need a powerful tool that can help us to handle complicate process such as estimation, bidding, purchasing and site-management in the life-circle of a construction project. In this research, we develop a Daily Report Module for Construction Management Information System. In this module, we use Object Oriented concept to mimic project schema by dividing each item into building-floor-room hierarchy. In this system, all constructed items will be calculated and converged into money request data. This will heavily save the key-in time and prevent human mistakes from multiple-input. Through the help of this tool, we can effectively calculate the cash flow for a construction project and accurately control the amount that we can claim from owner and pay to subcontractors. It can also provide warning message to prevent overcharge or overpayment in construction operation. Through the help this system, we can integrate construction data and transport site information to the head quarter through worldwide web immediately. This can help us to improve administrating capabilities, increase competition and make profit for construction companies.

3D structural component recognition and modeling method using color and 3D data for construction progress monitoring

“…Nuntasunti and Bernold [6] presented a site-web-site (SWS) framework based on images acquired with a webcam that serve as a tool for communication, monitoring, and control of a project. Shih and Huang [7] developed a panorama image database management system (PIDMS) to manage construction-related records. Leung et al [8] proposed an integrated construction-site monitoring system composed of a longrange wireless network, network cameras, and a web-based collaborative platform which that simultaneous user access.…”

Bridging BIM and building: From a literature review to an integrated conceptual framework

“…Laser scanning. Laser scanning which is adopted in 28 studies digitally captures geometric data and spatial relationships through laser light (Shih and Huang, 2006). As shown in Table 1, it is mainly used for process tracking (e.g.…”

Point Cloud Applications for Disaster Remediation: A Case Study

“…Shih (2006) found benefits in using point cloud data for measuring during the construction process. During construction, the measurement function was used to inspect working tolerances and construction errors.…”
