“…findings of lapses in the study support literature (green, 1998;Serpell and Alarcon, 1998;gonzález et al, 2011;Thomas et al, 2005), which substantiate the existence of constraints in CSM. SM process lapses identified from the study, constitute areas which could benefit from infusion of technology, as substantiated by authors including: Lin et al (2014) andfang et al (2018) on h&S inspection, Razavi et al (2012), han andgolparvar-fard (2015) and Park and Brilakis (2016) on materials monitoring, Tsai, Yang and Lin (2007) and Omar and Nehdi (2016) on data collection and Kim et al (2013), Braun et al (2015) and Kang et al (2016) on-site and general construction management.…”

“…Relevant technologies may also serve as potential mitigation against management lapses, including (1) dependence on periodic information on site status from various nodes and the need for pre-emptive and predictive oversight of site activities and resources (Ozumba and Shakantu, 2008;Akhavian and Behzadan, 2016;, (2) poor supervisor awareness of h&S infringements and incidents which go unreported (Kelm et al, 2013;Arslan et al, 2014;Aryal et al, 2017;Fang et al, 2018), (3) poor identification of site participants in issuance of materials and equipment (Ozumba and Shakantu, 2008;Wang et al, 2014;han and golparvarfard, 2015), (4) poor security and tracking of materials movement and storage on site (Razavi et al, 2012;han and golparvar-fard, 2015) and (5) lack of real-time pervasive and comprehensive knowledge of site status (Ozumba and Shakantu, 2008;Wang et al, 2014;Omar and Nehdi, 2016). Such shortcomings seem regular on site, from the case study observations.…”

The study explores the areas of process need in construction site management and technology utilisation to address those needs within the construction industry. An exploratory case study was used, with a focus on process need areas that could be impacted by technology infusion. Results highlight the impact of human limitations on management performance and poor utilisation of available relevant technology in the presence of managerial lapses. Inherent limitations of case study strategy were experienced in the form of number of cases and achieving uniformity of features. Nevertheless, the cases provided rich cross-validating data. The article provides empirical insights about the possibility of construction site management benefiting from increased exploitation of technology to address management shortcomings. The article highlights the need to understand individual projects in terms of site management process needs and opportunities in recent information and communication technology (ICT) to address such need areas, by linking potential utility in technology to lapses in the management process of construction sites. The study provides a baseline understanding of relevant concepts of ICT adoption in site management. While considerable interest exists regarding technology use in construction, studies explicitly contextualised within process need areas in site management and with management-centred view remain sparse.

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.

-Locating construction assets such as equipment and workforce during construction are critical for improving safety and productivity. The current indoor locating practices utilize real time locating system by alerting staffs when entering hazardous, high risk, or off-limits areas. This is a risk based study by means of probability analysis based on the distance of the worker from hazard. Not much attention has been given on communication especially on improving two-way communication between workers and supervisors in conjunction with tracking them in a 3D environment for forensic purposes and performance analysis. The aim of this study is to develop a Wi-Fi-based positioning and communicating system for indoor positioning with radio communication systems which is called the Voice Communication and Locating System (VCLS) and integrate it with other applications namely BIM and GIS. The BIM and GIS are used for displaying the positions of mobile devices for tracking the workers in a proposed area. The system development process includes determination of the functionalities of VCLS components and the interrelationships between them presenting a 3D environment. A series of experiments were carried out at a current facility at the University of NSW. The initial results of this ongoing study shows that VCLS has the capability to track the approximate locations of workers in 3D environment. The integration of VCLS and GIS is extremely valuable to construction users, because it increases the communication quality and efficiency of their interaction on construction site.
