The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry stands to benefit tremendously from the integration of lean construction (LC), building information modeling (BIM), and extended reality (XR) technologies at all stages of a project. These technologies enable multidimensional content viewing and collaboration through cloud-based systems and in real-scale environments, resulting in higher levels of efficiency. The aim of this research is to offer an integrative approach that combines project management philosophies, systems, technologies, and tools. The sections containing the results of this study are as follows. (1) A concise review of the benefits of LC, BIM, and XR technologies in the AEC industry, including BIM-based visualization support for LC (Lean-BIM) and BIM visualization in XR (BIM-XR). This section also presents an overview of the most commonly used wearable XRs on the market. (2) The presentation of an LBX process flow diagram and an IDEF0 diagram for the LBX project delivery management system at each stage of AEC projects, including design, construction, and operation. (3) Two possible scenarios for integrated lean, BIM, and XR implementation are suggested, referred to as “in the office” and “online or semi-online LBX meetings”. (4) An analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the LBX management system, practical implications, and open challenges of applying LBX to project management tasks. Overall, this study presents an enormous opportunity to increase the quality of construction project planning, understanding, and performance, and provides a roadmap for future efforts to implement the integration of LC, BIM, and XR technologies in the AEC industry.

“…Yuan et al combined parametric design and BIM technology to propose a method for the modularization of prefabricated components, aiming to enhance the standardization level of such components [7]. Wang integrated lean construction principles with BIM technology, proposing a novel workflow aimed at enhancing the design quality of prefabricated components [14]. By integrating BIM technology with the concept of Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) in the manufacturing industry, researchers have successfully applied it to precast buildings for the division and design of precast foundation components.…”

In this paper, a data-driven modeling method for precast concrete (PC) balcony components was proposed to solve the problems of low informatization and the difficult modeling of components at the design stage. Through the analysis of the characteristics of PC balcony components and the combination of modular design methods, the paper designed a data structure for the components and developed a data-driven modeling tool for PC balcony components that can realize the input of structural design data, automatically generating component models. First, this paper introduced the data-driven modeling concept and the modeling process. Second, the PC balcony components in common prefabricated residential projects were analyzed to identify their characteristics. By using a modular design approach, these components were divided and a module dataset was created based on the split modules. Consequently, a data structure for the prefabricated balcony component model was established, wherein both conventional parameters and adaptive parameters between modules were interrelated. Finally, the function of data-driven modeling was achieved by developing a modular design tool on the Revit platform using the C# programming language. The application conducted on a prefabricated building project demonstrated that the software tool and modeling method in this paper effectively improve the level of informatization and modeling efficiency of PC balcony components. The modular design approach was satisfied with the standardization and diversification requirements of balcony components, thereby offering insights for modeling other complex components.

“…Second, due to the huge size of precast beams and the need to use cranes for installation, adequate coordination and planning with the project site is necessary to ensure the successful completion of the installation [6][7]. In addition, response plans must be timely and effective when unexpected weather changes or equipment failures arise [8]. In actual construction, some management and organizational coordination problems may be difficult to predict in advance, leading to delays in the construction cycle or other problems [9].…”

In this paper, we propose a method for monitoring the construction quality and progress of assembled buildings based on point cloud model feature extraction to achieve accurate identification and rapid detection of construction process information because of the existing problems in precast beam construction data collection and processing, combined with 3D laser scanning technology. Soil excavation and filling calculations are performed to determine the site design elevation before the main structure construction starts, the prefabricated components are simulated to be assembled and viewed for assembly errors during the construction process, and the verticality and flatness of the prefabricated beams are inspected after the construction is completed in combination with least squares. The construction quality problems and delays in construction progress were also corrected and adjusted to ensure a smooth construction process. After the main bridge was constructed, it was measured to have a damping ratio of around 0.011, which means it can dissipate external energy input.
