Abstract: A method for producing parts for a local structure at a construction site using a building information model, the building information model being stored on a central computing unit and providing data about the construction site or a building to be constructed at the construction site. The method includes determining dimensions of parts needed for the construction of the local structure; and producing the needed parts according to the determined dimensions, wherein determining the dimensions comprises a measuring operation performed by a user, wherein the user is guided through the measuring operation by a portable computing device using data provided by the building information model. The dimensions are provided to a work shop which is situated at the construction site and the needed parts are produced at the work shop according to the provided dimensions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a construction site management system and a method for providing checking instructions on a mobile device of a worker on a construction site, wherein the mobile device is connected to a server as part of the construction site management system, wherein work packages are assigned to the worker by the server. The method includes obtaining a progress report from the worker relating to the progress of a work package, and transmitting the progress report to the server, retrieving a checking plan from the server based on the progress report, and generating checking instructions based at least in part on the checking plan, the checking instructions comprising information on what feature to check, where to check the feature, and directives on how to check the feature.

Abstract: The invention relates to an automated construction site management and support system for a preparation of a construction site during a construction rest period, and for determining a current state of a construction site during the rest period. The system comprises at least one server means, storing a general construction database with digital construction plan information, and a mobile support system being adapted for automatic movement and positioning on the construction site, and for executing auxiliary preparatory tasks for a construction work package such as tagging construction markings and information to the construction site, and for executing controlling tasks on the construction site for determining a current state of an object entity of a physical construction component. Sequences of auxiliary preparatory tasks or a set of controlling tasks are automatically defined based on the current state of the construction database, and, if applicable, a defined outcome for a work package.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a construction management system for the construction of a structure, comprising a plurality of sensor means adapted to detect events at a building site of the structure, a central computing unit providing a three-dimensional model of the building site, and at least one displaying device that is adapted to display the three-dimensional model to a user, wherein the sensor means is adapted for generating data comprising information about a detected event, the system comprises communication units adapted to transmit a message comprising the data and a location information to the central computing unit, assign coordinates in the three-dimensional model according to the location information, evaluate options for reacting on the event by analysing the data, assign evaluated options to the data, and display a note which is related to evaluated options to the user in real-time at the assigned coordinates in the three-dimensional model.

Abstract: A construction site management system with building information modelling (BIM) functionality. The system includes a server for maintenance of a three-dimensional gross model of a construction site, a mobile device connected to the server, wherein the server is configured to derive a three-dimensional net model from the gross model based at least in part on a work package, the work package being assigned from the server to the mobile device and comprising references to locations within the gross model, wherein the mobile device is configured to retrieve the net model from the server and provide the net model on a screen as a graphical user interface (GUI).

Abstract: A method of automated spatial worksite referencing of a networked electronic measuring device with awareness of a rough location information of itself at a worksite location. The method includes querying a database for construction plan information about the rough location and its vicinity and about an actual work progress, computing an actual-state nominal spatial information at the rough location and its vicinity, automatically determining of a fine location of the networked electronic measuring device at the worksite location, by at least one iteration of: automatically determining a measurement point in the vicinity and measuring the measurement point using measurement functionality of the device, and then automatically assimilating the measurement point to the actual-state nominal spatial information and thereby determining the fine location information.
