“…This connection can be between two workers or between a worker and a supervisor. Khelifi and Hyari (2016) developed a system which can improve the productivity of construction projects by providing access to the personnel on the construction site to retrieve and upload data (e.g., schedule, supply chain, task specific, etc.) when needed instantaneously.…”

“…Another big challenge on construction sites is communication, which has in turn adversely affected productivity (Khelifi & Hyari, 2016). Mohamed and Stewart (2003) show that inferior coordination resulted from poor information handling and exchange leads to excessive costs and delays in construction projects.…”

“…However, despite their high potential, adoption of these technologies in the construction industry is challenging because construction projects come in a sporadic order and the design requirements vary from one project to another (Hatami et al, 2019). These characteristics have made the work process more complex and result in decreased productivity on construction sites (Hatami et al, 2019).Another big challenge on construction sites is communication, which has in turn adversely affected productivity (Khelifi & Hyari, 2016).

“…Also, empirical research has identified poor communication and information logistics as one of the central determinants of construction projects failure (Meland et al, 2011). More specifically, according to (Khelifi & Hyari, 2016), the vast amount of information to be delivered, spatial dispersion of different teams and different activities, the multiplicity of stakeholders and subcontractors, the distance between the offices and the work sites, and the necessity of rigid deadlines based on costly delays are among the reasons that the communication is difficult on construction sites. Moreover, the lack of procurement of information leads to loss of productivity (Castro-Lacouture, Bryson, & Gonzalez-Joaqui, 2006).…”

Construction sites experience low productivity due to particular characteristics such as unique designs in each project, sporadic arrival of projects, and complexity of the process. Another contributing factor to low productivity is poor communication among workers, supervisors, and a site’s centralized knowledge hub. Research shows that introducing advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology in construction can tackle these problems. In this paper, we analyzed human factors considerations–user, task, environment, and technology and identified their characteristics and challenges to design an interactive AI system to facilitate communication between workers and other stakeholders. Based on the analysis, we propose a voice-based intelligent virtual agent (VIVA) as a multi-purpose AI system on construction sites with a further research agenda. We hope that this effort can guide the design of construction-specific AI systems and that this worker-AI teaming can improve overall work processes, enhance productivity, and promote safety in construction.

“…Construction projects are unique, because they serve the business production and meet human"s basic demands [1][2][3]. As a result, the quality of a construction and engineering project directly influences the stable development and effectiveness of the socioeconomic factors of the national economy [4][5][6][7].…”

A quality management process plays a vital role in the success of engineering and construction projects. The management process needs to be effective and efficient if projects are to be completed on time and within the project's budget. Many construction projects' quality management processes are paper-based, which makes them time-consuming and inefficient. The next generation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the BIM-cloud. The BIM-cloud can help to enhance the effectiveness of a quality management process; it can also save an organization time and money. This paper proposes a quality management model based on cloud computing, mobile devices, and the Autodesk BIM 360 Field software. This software functions as a platform for gathering, managing and controlling the quality of the management data. The process is then applied to a real project in Vietnam to verify the benefits and barriers of using the BIM 360 Field for a construction project.
