“…QR, on the other hand, provides more information, and it is commonly exploited due to the increasing popularity of mobile phones and tablets utilisation onsite with the available QR code reading applications. The implementation of QR codes has been suggested in conjunction with BIM technology to improve communication on-site and to increase health and safety [19].…”

Whilst unavoidable, inspections, progress monitoring, and comparing asplanned with as-built conditions in construction projects do not readily add tangible intrinsic value to the end-users. In large-scale construction projects, the process of monitoring the implementation of every single part of buildings and reflecting them on the BIM models can become highly labour intensive and error-prone, due to the vast amount of data produced in the form of schedules, reports and photo logs. In order to address the mentioned methodological and technical gap, this paper presents a framework and a proof of concept prototype for on-demand automated simulation of construction projects, integrating some cutting edge IT solutions, namely image processing, machine learning, BIM and Virtual Reality. This study utilised the Unity game engine to integrate data from the original BIM models and the as-built images, which were processed via various computer vision techniques. These methods include object recognition and semantic segmentation for identifying different structural elements through supervised training in order to superimpose the real world images on the as-planned model. The proposed framework leads to an automated update of the 3D virtual environment with states of the construction site.

“…Therefore, it raises a new problem about how the business knowledge can be protected. A common Quick Response Code (QR-Code) has been successfully integrated with BIM for optimizing the BIM model's information flow (Lorenzo et al 2014). It can be considered for prevention of any infringements or copyrights issues on the drawings and documents in the BIM-enabled projects.…”

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has entered into another phase of maturity, especially in countries that have been actively adopting and using BIM including in the Republic of China, Taiwan. An effective management in BIM has increasingly becoming one of the demanding features in Taiwanese architecture, engineering, construction and operation industries, particularly in dealing with the legal issues associated with BIM implementation. Therefore, the research aims to develop a preliminary contractual framework for BIM-based contract administration. Two objectives underpin the research, namely: (a) to identify the potential legal aspects need to be considered in BIM-enabled projects; and (b) to determine the related contract provisions required in BIM contracts. Questionnaire survey method was adopted through a selective sampling approach in Taiwan. Thirty-six valid and completed questionnaires were analyzed. The results identify twenty-one related contract provisions that could potentially be used in BIM contracts. Following a thorough analytical discussion, these contract provisions were then incorporated into the developed contractual framework. Whilst paving the way for a robust contractual mechanism for BIM-enabled projects in the future, the research contributes into the body-of-knowledge for BIM-based contract administration.

“…Most of these initiatives considered the full automation of the processes where the intervention of human element is very limited [8,11]. The human intervention is determined to carry, scan and point the electronic devices to collect the data from the construction sites [17,19]. However, these initiatives entail myriads of challenges that hindered reaping its full benefits [8,11].…”

Controlling construction site operations is one of the crucial overriding concerns for the clients and contractors, as the majority of the construction delays tend to occur in the construction phase. It is not surprising to see interest in deploying advanced technologies such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) to help in addressing such concerns. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how to integrate BIM with the daily construction activities to increase the effectiveness of construction operational activities and address customers and clients concerns and requirements. The study adopted the qualitative approach to collect the data from different construction sites. Clients and numerous members of the supply chain were involved in the data collection, which covered projects, in United Arab Emirates (UAE), such as real estate building, infrastructure (e.g. water and waste water) and road projects. The study concluded that, integrating BIM in the reoccurring daily construction operations highly assisted the construction industry to overcome several persisting and challenging problems related to the traditional disputes and mistrust among the supply chain players. These disputes resulted from the inaccurate data collection that leads to the absence of crucial actions, in addition to the huge time consumed to prepare reports. The results of the study suggest that, the integration of BIM with the construction operational activities have improved productivity and enhanced the trust among the project teams. Furthermore, the automation of the construction site activities using BIM avoided loss of information, enabled contractors to recognize their weaknesses, enabled immediate update of the progress reports and the program of works and the easy production of the payment statement.
