“…In addition to the computer environment such as the satisfaction of the owner, interventions of the permitting organizations, coordination of construction contractors and subcontractors, and feedback from design consultants, a progressive implementation process based on human relations and mutual dialogue should also be designed. These stakeholders have their own goals in the project, often affecting process optimization, often not contributing to the project [5]. For example; failure of a subcontractor to supply the required material at the scheduled time may cause serious disruptions in the process.…”

Especially after the 1980s, computer-aided design programs paved the way for the implementation of unusual forms and building structures in the construction industry. This situation has increased the necessity of process management and the development of existing systems in the field of construction project management has become a necessity. As a result of these developments, the concept of integrated project delivery (IPD), which aims to increase the coordination, cooperation, and communication among the team members of different disciplines, has emerged. In addition to the coordinated work of the design team; project stakeholders such as customers, contractors, and subcontractors are also directly involved in the process. In such large-scale projects, the concept of the Great Chamber, an integrated project delivery system, emerged as a collaboration platform in project management. As a result of the search for process management, the Big Room concept, which aims to increase the coordination, cooperation and communication among the team members of different disciplines, is a physical space organization that uses technology but has central human and human relations. Big Room is a design and coordination office located on the construction sites. In this office, all stakeholders are involved early on and are directly involved in the management and control of a project. Team members work together to improve team performance, interact and accelerate decisionmaking and reduce project costs for better communication. In this study, it is aimed to introduce, search and determine the advantages of Big Room concept which is used in many big projects in the world by searching literature.

“…This research adds another solution to optimism bias in the form of 4D visualization as it helps the project team visualize the construction activities of the megaproject, providing a more realistic picture, thereby increasing the ability to forecast and mitigate the optimism bias risk among construction activities before they arise. This visualization can be categorized as visual control wherein effective project management can be enhanced by a visualization exercise to provide information on the work performed along with its potential problems (Majava, Haapasalo and Aaltonen, 2019).…”

The literature on megaprojects are oriented towards ‘knowing’ the problems and ‘knowing’ the solutions, and there is a dearth in literature aimed at explaining strategies adopted in ‘doing’ or implementing that knowledge. Particularly, the literature highlights communication as important as part of the ‘knowing,’ while there is a gap in ‘doing,’ as performance improvements are still not evident. This research aims to explore how this knowing-doing gap in the communication of risk information was addressed by using 4D visualization. This article discusses the vent facility of a megaproject in Australia as a case study to illustrate the innovation. The 4D model developed for the facility helped the project team to visualize the construction of a critical part of the project, discuss the construction methodology, identify the risks in the construction process and persuade the non-technical decision-makers of the project to take appropriate action. The risks identified through the visualization covered safety, program, and interface risks. This study offers insights into the role of visualization in bridging the knowing-doing gap in the construction industry in the context of a megaproject.

“…Meetings were carried out in a digital 'Obeya' room where collaborative planning was aided by digital visual management. Images, drawings, and 3D BIM models were used to inform and communicate planned works between trade contractors (Majava et al 2019). The rooms help to arrive at decisions faster, provide a framework for waste elimination and asset logistical and sequencings issues.…”

Digital media and point cloud captures have been used extensively in the mapping and surveying fields. As technology has advanced digital photographic and Lasor scanning information can be captured on site and processed rapidly. This has led to developing software that can use the processed information, for reconstructing it with the help of photogrammetric methods and connecting it to the 3D Building Information Model (BIM). This paper will review the effectiveness of reality capture digital process in a pandemic situation.Reality Capture (RC) is becoming an important part of the information dynamics on construction projects. Lidar, Drone imagery, Laser scanning and Photogrammetry captures are now used extensively to document the construction process. Platforms that can, host, and overlay and compare scans and photographs to BIM models and 2D plans have been developed. RC provides a rich source of imagery that can also be used to support the production control process. Designers and project managers can focus on value added work utilizing the latest project imagery to co-ordinate and collaborate and to assist developing short term look ahead plans and validate prepared work plans. As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic worldwide societal and industrial shutdowns occurred the reduce the spread of disease. As industry returned safeguards had to be developed to protect workers and prevent the spread of disease. This paper outlines how a RC strategy that has been developed as a countermeasure to fragmented teams caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and how RC can be used to increase engagement by project stakeholders on construction projects in a post pandemic digital era. This paper discusses how digital tools can support established lean construction process and how action research can assist the continued development of new processes.
