Abstract: | Inspections represent key activities in construction projects. They allow coordinating the work of the main contractor and
the subcontracted companies participating in the project. Today the inspection activities and the coordination process are
done using information recorded into paper-based blueprints. As a consequence of it, coordinating the activities derived from
inspection processes become expensive, slow and error-prone. This paper presents a mobile shared workspace, named COIN (Construction
Inspector), which helps the participants in a construction project to overcome these limitations. COIN was particularly designed
to be used on tablet PCs, but it is able to run on several computing devices. This workspace has been tested in a controlled
work scenario. The preliminary results are highly positive, indicating this proposal could have an important impact on the
construction management process. |
