Abstract

Extending current work on visualization in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector, this paper describes an industry-led collaborative research and innovation project to develop and use a control room on the construction site. The work is inspired by NASA mission operations, with its large-scale visual display. It addresses the challenges of visualizing realtime construction data. Working with a main contractor, technology companies, and other researchers, we first give an overview of the progress of the overall project to date and discuss our contributions on requirements, realtime simulation of construction data, and visualization. We conclude by discussing the contribution to work on visualizing construction.
