Abstract: To enable full automation, automated code compliance checking systems need to extract regulatory information in building codes and convert it to computable representations. This conversion is a natural language processing ...

Abstract: Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) is widely accepted as the future of building information modeling (BIM) to take on the challenge of BIM interoperability and enable its support of various automation tasks. However, it is ...

Abstract: Building information modeling (BIM) has been widely accepted in the industry and extensively used in supporting many construction tasks. In the government sector, the USDOT Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has implemented ...

Abstract: Fully automated building code compliance checking (ACC) requires accurate information extraction from both building information models (BIMs) and building code chapters, and equally (if not more) importantly, a precise ...

Abstract: Construction management education in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) domain is increasingly challenged with managing limited resources while increasing instructors’ teaching effectiveness and improving ...

Abstract: Existing construction monitoring systems rely on designated personnel to compare a planned procedure in the instructional documents with an execution procedure on the jobsite. It requires major human efforts and is ...

Abstract: To fully automate regulatory compliance checking of construction projects, regulatory requirements need to be automatically extracted from various construction regulatory documents and then transformed into a formalized ...

Abstract: Automated regulatory compliance checking requires automated extraction of requirements from regulatory textual documents and their formalization in a computer-processable rule representation. Such information extraction ...
