“…On the other hand, custom-made construction collaboration technologies empowered star network model, building on the interaction through a single central hub [4]. While the star topology is considered the easiest topology to design and implement, its characteristics do not correspond well to the particularities of the successful human interaction or usual ways of working in the construction industry.…”

Subject reviewIn collaborative engineering environments communication and information sharing among participants is essential for successful project delivery. Modern information technology is driving the world towards two divergent communication topologies: 1) the industry is driven towards a centralized one around an information model, 2) citizens using information technologies at home are driven towards a meshed one where each can communicate whenever to whoever using communication services like those in social media. This paper presents the analysis, conceptual framework, architecture and prototype of a system that is bringing the latter to the engineering community. The framework consists of two main components: 1) a framework engine providing working environment and support for core services such as locale storage and module integration, and 2) external modules, extending core capabilities of the framework. For the purpose of this research work the SWOT analysis has been carried out revealing main characteristics of the proposed approach.

“…A group of tools which requires high level of user intervention has been investigated including multimedia (Abudayyeh, 1997), information and communication technologies such as voice and wireless (Sunkpho & Garrett, 2000;Tsai et al, 2007;Tsai, 2009;Liao & Tseng, 2010), hand-held tools (Tserng & Dzeng, 2005;T.Hegazy et al, 2008), and web-based tools (Cheung et al, 2004;Chassiakos & Sakellaropoulos, 2008). These research efforts had been mainly focused on the potential use of the tools, but they did not provide an automated solution for the project tracking and control.…”

Detailed as-built project schedules are necessary to close out construction projects, benchmarking, forecasting, dispute resolution, and improving cost estimates of future projects. Manual procedures for developments of as-built documentation is time consuming, involves numerous interfaces and human interventions. This paper presents computational framework that encompasses automated site data acquisition and generates schedule updates utilizing commercially available project scheduling software. The work is carried out collaboratively with a Hydro Quebec team. The site data is captured employing mobile computing using iPad® type computers and Wi-Fi. The information is directly compiled in a centralized database server. The synchronization tool is a bi-directional application and is used on servers to communicate with iPad® computers deployed onsite. The captured data is stored in Microsoft SQL® relation database that consists of 63 entities. Computer software application has been developed in Microsoft Visual Basic® (vb.net) environment for extracting the collected site data, linking the database to the as planned schedule, and generating the actual, also known as as-built schedule. The development can be utilized in automated progress reporting, evaluating future bids, generating master schedules and a wide range of efficient EVM applications.

“…Many benefits have been attributed to the use of WPMS, with the most widely anticipated benefit being improved communication. Communication has been shown to have a direct impact on the success of a project and its associated productivity (Chassiakos and Sakellaropoulos 2008). Improved communication on projects results in benefits in a multitude of areas.…”

“…As project participants face these challenges the need to improve communication has become critical. Communication is an integral part of project success and effectively communicating has been shown to be an important factor in the success of a project (Chassiakos and Sakellaropoulos 2008). One way that project participants can further facilitate and improve communication is through the use of Information Technology (IT).…”
