Abstract

Within the framework of Digital Twin Construction (DTC), lean construction (LC) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) support an integrated vision for short term plan-do-check-act cycles of planning and control in construction. However, operations control tasks, such as delivery of detailed design information to workers in the field, data gathering from the field, progress evaluation and error detection, are still largely manual. Innovations in Construction Tech can be applied to reduce cycle time, waste, construction errors and rework. In this context, we review the current state of the art in BIM and Construction Tech integration for control of operations. This includes a review of current existing work, investigation of new startup companies, and a field survey. The results show that there are many successful but isolated Construction Tech innovations and numerous successful localised BIM-based contributions in data gathering, monitoring and information transfer, but no industry attempts at data integration.
