Virtual Buildings (VB) and Tools to Manage Construction Process Operations

Previous and current research and commercial activities within the virtual building
area indicate that models are being developed to test and simulate different aspects
of the building, but never being used to manage construction projects.
This paper formulates visions and outlines solutions for how building process data
can be used to represent and co-ordinate meta level digital virtual building models,
generate construction site process models, capture as-built data from construction
process, and handle external supplier information. A crucial part of the VB is the
Project Management System (PMS), which is designed to manage the information
input/output of the proposed virtual building and external processes. The PMS is
outlined and specified in the paper according to functionality, part of user
environment, and structure and underlying digital representations. The outlined
framework will include IT-tools as temporal databases, semantic web technology
and emerging web services.
The PMS will support practical integration of partly redundant building product
and process descriptions, improve capturing of as-built data to raise quality of the
construction process and subsequent building use and maintenance, contribute to
development of unified high (meta) level building process descriptions, and support
project experience capturing and re-use.
