Automation in construction software systems lay the foundations

Abstract

Considers that computer models of construction projects are required as a precursor to automation of the construction process. Examines the problem of building computer models for use in the construction industry that contain all the information required for full co‐ordination of the design activity. The uniqueness of each building project and the lack of standard “library” parts adds considerably to the task of creating a realistic 3D model. Also the inevitable minor deviations that would occur during the construction process require that the model be corrected as work proceeds.
