Abstract

Construction, as the process of constructing a building, has diverse range of available software tools which have been developed to support modelling operations, tasks, and processes in the construction industry. 3D visualization as a modelling tool has been widely used to improve modular and off-site construction activities; it allows for seamless information sharing and collaboration among project stakeholders, and also provides opportunities for improvements suggested by the project team. This paper presents a framework for modelling the off-site modular construction of housing at the Kent Homes manufacturing facility through 3D/4D visualization. A case study is represented to illustrate the potential for production improvement.
