“…Mobile devices are portable/small-sized computing devices having a display screen for accessing and embedding information needed for coordinating between the job site and the office. Mobile devices have long been found useful in the construction industry for progress management (El-Omari and Moselhi, 2011), managing punch lists (Menzel et al, 2008), maintenance (Kim et al, 2009) and safety applications (Wang, 2008). Examples of such mobile devices include personal data assistant (PDA), smart phones and tablet PCs.…”

Purpose – In spite of the benefits of virtual models in the building and construction industry, the full potential of these models, especially in the construction and operation phases, remains largely unrealized. With the increasing developments in information and communication technology, a number of attempts have been made to extend the use of these models, through the development of integration approaches and technologies. However, the issue of integrating the virtual model and the physical construction such as to enable bi-directional coordination, has not been adequately addressed. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the application of a cyber-physical systems (CPS) approach in enhancing bi-directional coordination between virtual models and the physical construction. Design/methodology/approach – This research employs scenario development rapid prototyping to illustrate CPS integration in the construction industry, with a particular focus on facilitating bi-directional coordination. The proof-of-concept prototype systems developed were validated using a focus group consisting of industry practitioners. Findings – Bi-directional coordination between virtual models and the physical construction has the potential to improve real-time progress monitoring and control of the construction process, tracking of changes and model updates, information exchange between the design office and the job site, real-time documentation of the as-built status of high-value components and improved sustainability practices. Originality/value – This paper adds value to the construction industry by demonstrating the application of the CPS approach in enhancing bi-directional coordination between virtual models and the physical construction through the development of system architectures, scenarios and prototype systems.

“…But buildings are becoming more intelligent and adaptive responsive to changing environmental conditions. As technology develops (easy-to-integrate wireless solutions) the methods of intermittent and realtime data feedback increase (Menzel et al 2008). If remote sensors are already being supplied to buildings these have the potential to perform dual roles (thus providing feedback at a lower cost).…”

Abstract. Traditionally Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) is conducted against the prescribed performance specification and it mainly relies on two activities; i) The effective collection of real world data and information and ii) the formulation of this data / information into models that allow trends and deviations to be observed. However, it is required to gain efficiencies by identifying potentially easier and more economical methods and tools for the collection of data such as wireless sensors. Furthermore, with the advent of cloud computing, data storage and processing can also become easier and more economical too. Subsequently, it can be possible not only to compare a building performance against its initial performance specification but also benchmark a building against similar properties.Thus, the paper sets out a new vision of how future post occupancy evaluation can be conducted. It explores the use BIM (Building Information Modelling) that is progressively becoming more popular for developing building information throughout the building lifecycle through a comparative study in order to build up greater understanding of the relationship between the fabric and the building use. This paper is grounded in UK experience, but the international relevance of the issues is also explored.
