“…Videogrammetry technology has the capability to extract features from video recordings and hence, several studies have recently investigated the effectiveness and robustness of using videogrammetry in construction projects (Bosche et al 2014). The level of accuracy for progressive reconstruction using videogrammetry has become reasonable using high resolution cameras.…”

Abstract. The automated data collection of civil infrastructure projects, whether under construction, newly put into service, or in operation has been receiving increased attention by researchers and practitioners. Such real-time progress tracking is essential for the active monitoring of production during the construction phase of a project and for the built assets during their service lives. Automatic progress tracking can result in timely detection of potential time delays and construction discrepancies and directly supports project control decision-making. This paper outlines recent research efforts in this field and technological developments that aim to facilitate project management toward achieving project objectives. 3D imaging, geo-spatial, enhanced IT, and augmented reality technologies have recently achieved significant advances in this field. These technologies are discussed and compared herein in terms of their strengths and limitations to identify various trends concerning their applicability in data acquisition for construction projects and to formulate recommendations for their suitability in different projects. Prospects for improvement and challenges that can be expected in future research and development are considered. It is hoped that this discussion will assist construction stakeholders in choosing appropriate data collection tools, and motivate further research and development to assist in delivering projects on time and within budget.

“…By combining both "physical and functional characteristics of a facility" [19] BIM can easily accommodate the different users' needs during the building's life cycle. In order to create a data-rich model, bespoke to each organisation's needs, the British Standards Institution published, in 2013, the Publicly Available Specification (PAS) 1192 Part 2 "Specification for information for the capital/delivery phase of construction projects using building information modelling" [20].…”

This paper presents the process of implementation of a building information model for managing an existing building, identifying a development framework and documenting the difficulties that occurred during the implementation of the initial stages. The use of building information modelling (BIM) for the design and construction phase of a building has been thoroughly looked into by researchers and practitioners and there is evidence to support that it is beneficial for reducing cost, time and improving communication. A single shared building information model results in a greater accuracy, clarity and consistency of the information available during the life cycle compared to traditional 2D/3D drawings. Yet the potential use of BIM for the operational and management phase (facilities management), besides maintenance schedules and equipment information and location, is still not clearly identified. The UK Government, institutional clients and major private owners are now demanding BIM for new construction and major refurbishment, but given that 70-75% of the UK building stock that will exist and be in use in 2050 has already been built, a significant part of the existing facilities will not have a building information model till the next major refurbishment. This creates a major gap in the built environment, when it comes to having BIM for existing buildings.This paper presents the initial findings of two case studies, where building information models were developed for two existing buildings using a new framework and concludes that minimal BIM skills are sufficient to construct a base building model that can be implemented over time by facilities managers.

“…Such discrepancies are due to construction errors (human errors) and changes related to constructability issues made in the field. Although a recent study by Bosché et al [10,11] tackled this problem by integrating scanversus-BIM and scan-to-BIM approaches for as-built modeling of MEP work, this method also primarily depends on the as-planned model.…”

“…Few research studies have been conducted to propose methods for recognizing semantic elements in buildings during the construction phase [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] as well as during occupancy [1,2,4,12,13]. These research studies performed as-built data acquisition using spatial survey technologies that are based on photogrammetry [8] and laser scanning [5,6,1,7,9,2,4,12,13].…”

As-built building information models (BIMs) need to be represented with the composing building elements having their own functional semantic information. In order to generate such as-built BIMs with composing building elements, it is necessary to recognize each of the semantic elements and separate them from each other. In addition, the as-built BIM needs to be generated and updated during or after each major construction activity because most of the structural elements and nonstructural elements (especially for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) components) are covered by other objects as the construction phase progresses. This study aims to propose a method for generating a semantic as-built BIM from laser-scan data acquired during the construction phase, especially for structural works. A field experiment was performed to validate the proposed method by acquiring and processing laserscan data from the construction site. The experimental result shows that the proposed method can be used for semantic as-built BIMs without any prior information from as-planned models.
