“…To have an effective exchange of information amongst participants is not an easy task because construction sites with large areas, adverse weather conditions and resources scattered around the site present a challenge to engineers and managers who wish to extract information from the site where the action is happening and send it to the office [19]. Using Information and Communication Technology for quality control in construction sites is breaking new ground because it allows the use of a software as a beneficial and potential alternative [20].…”

The validity of the NBR 15575: 2013 has been promoting changes in the construction industry involving the entire production chain, especially regarding the design process, either through steps such as the choice of components and construction systems or in the pursuit of certification construction systems and products, by manufacturers, so that their inputs and components applicable to residential buildings meet the said standard. However, the construction phase also plays a key role in ensuring that the requirements in the project are met. Faced with this context, since the implementation of a Quality Control, you can monitor and manage the enforcement proceedings, seeking and ensuring that these constructive systems to run properly, attesting to the quality of the enterprise as a whole. In this sense, this study points to the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Quality Control, through the use of current technologies in order to meet compliance with the established requirements and ensure the VUP (Project Lifespan) of edification. Conclusively, the quality control applied during the implementation phase improves the works of production levels with the highest degree of quality, thereby increasing its Lifespan and generating the expected durability.

“…Chen and Kamara [1] indicate that although mobile computing in construction is a major research theme and hot research area, most of the reported research in this area focuses on a detailed aspect or single component of a mobile computing technology. Kim et al [19] presented a location-based construction site management system using a mobile computing communication platform. The system includes a site management module and a construction drawing sharing module.…”

Abstract-Effectivecommunication among project participants in construction sites is a real dilemma for construction projects productivity. To improve the efficiency of participants in construction projects and have a speedy delivery of these projects, this paper presents the development of a mobile application system to support construction site communication. The developed system is designed to enhance communication between home office employees, field office staff, and mobile users at the construction sites. It has two components: a mobile application and a website. The mobile application component provides users with valuable features such as, receive sites' instructions, send requests for interpretations and retrieve information about projects. Whereas, the website component allows users, such as, home office employees to track projects' progress and find projects' location. The developed system is tested first on emulators and then on Android devices. After that the system was tested on a highway improvement project. Through their mobile phones, site users are able to interact with field office and home office personnel who use the web application to communicate with mobile users. It is expected that this work will contribute to facilitate communication in construction sites, which is much needed in this information intensive sector.

“…On the other direction, Lipman (2004) used mobile handheld computer to deliver and visualize 3D models of construction components in the field. More recently, Kim, Lim, & Kim (2011) presented a locationbased construction site management system with two modules: the first module explained the location information of both construction activities and the resources (i.e., materials, workers) allocated to the activities, and the second module provided an easy way to share construction drawings among construction engineers. These studies proved the mobile device as an efficient information exchange platform, confirming its application feasibility for site safety inspection.…”

Site inspection is an important component of safety management system. In current practices, the inspectors evaluate the safety condition on a construction site with the assistance of a standardised checklist. However, the checklist emphasizes on evaluating the implementation of safety management system, but provides limited task-specific check items for assessing whether the individual construction tasks are conducted under safe condition and in a safe manner. To address this issue, the research presented in this paper aims to provide safety practitioners with comprehensive and taskspecific safety information to promote effective risk identification and facilitate strategic risk control during site inspection. Specifically, this research first builds a project-specific safety information database, which stores potential risks and control measures for each construction task. The research team then develops a mobile decision support tool to retrieve information from the database and support safer decision-making on site. The tool supports users in two ways: one is to provide daily risk checklists and risk control strategies to guide step-by-step inspection alongside the project schedule; the other is to let users input any safety-related keywords during the safety inspection process and the tool returns relevant safety information by applying text mining algorithms. It is ongoing research. This paper presents an overall research framework and discusses the progress in developing safety database and data retrieval concepts. The outcome of the project will help enhance safety management practices and reduce possible risky working conditions on a construction site.
