Design/methodology/approachThis paper presents a new methodology for monitoring construction progress using smartphones. This is done by proposing a new system consisting of a newly-developed application named 'BIM-U' and a mobile Augmented Reality (AR) channel named 'BIM-Phase'.'BIM-U' is an Android application that allows the end-user to update the progress of activities onsite. This data is used to update the project's 4D model enhanced with different cost parameters such as earned value, actual cost, and planned value. The 'BIM-Phase' application is a mobile AR channel that is utilised during construction phase through implementing a 4D 'asplanned' phased model integrated with an augmented video showing real or planned progress. PurposeCurrent researchers have attempted to facilitate the process of monitoring construction projects. Classic practice for construction progress tracking relies on paper reports, which entails a serious amount of manual data collection as well as the effort of imagining the actual progress from the paperwork. FindingsThe results from the project are then analysed and assessed to anticipate the potential of these and similar techniques for tracking time and cost on construction projects. Originality/valueThe proposed system through 'BIM-U' and 'BIM Phase' exploits the potential of mobile applications and Augmented Reality (AR) in construction through the use of handheld mobile devices to offer new possibilities for measuring and monitoring work progress using Building Information Modelling. Keywords:Building Information Modelling, Augmented Reality, Handheld mobile devices, Construction Project Tracking, Progress Monitoring. IntroductionCurrently, handheld mobile devices are being used for a wide variety different applications. In the construction context, this includes Augmented Reality, and the portability and accessibility (time) and '5D' (cost) data, for the design, construction, and operation of built assets -have been widely publicised. Among these benefits, several relate to the potential for improvement in the productivity of onsite operations. In particular, according to this includes project tracking abilities, and the ability to facilitate interactions and share information among project participants in real-time.Effective progress tracking relies on periodic reports, which traditionally require manual data collection and entail frequent transcription . Recent researchers have demonstrated how the mixing of virtual information with the real environment can be more efficient and effective in this respect. Golparvar-Fard et al. (2006) reported that most project meetings are spent explaining and describing the rationale behind the decision-making process and less frequently involve value-adding tasks, such as evaluating and predicting the effects of a decision on the project. Moreover, low effectiveness rates on these decision-making tasks are reported. The process of understanding drawings, documents, specifications, etc. that take place during the project's lif...

“…Other strengths include the expanded degrees of interaction and user involvement, as well as the comfort of using a wide array of platforms to work with. Fast access to vital information throughout the design and construction phases of buildings is a necessity and the work of (Zollmann et al, 2014) shows that augmented reality visualization can give this kind of information. A combination between 2D schematics and 3D augmented reality visualization gives all necessary data, without interrupting the workflow, as shown by (Côté et al, 2014).…”

Abstract: Visualization of large scale 3D models has become an important part of the development cycle in many fields like building design, machine design, construction and many more. Whether for design communication or demonstration, it is necessary for the viewers to fully understand the different components of the model, their proportions compared to each other and the overall design. A variety of augmented reality(AR) applications have been created for overall visualization of large scale models. For tours inside 3D renderings of models many immersive virtual reality (VR) applications exist. Both types of applications have their limitation, omitting either important details in the AR case or the full picture in the case of VR. This paper presents a low-cost way to demonstrate models using a hybrid virtual environment system (HVE), combining virtual reality and augmented reality visualization. The solution is built using a fully occlusive head mounted display(HMD), together with off-the-shelf web cameras and a game controller for interaction. A proof of concept is created using a commercial game engine, which is used in a subsequent case study. Based on this study, we demonstrate the validity of our proposed system.
