The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
In recent decades, the construction industry has become more complex, particularly in large-scale projects. The construction industry requires extensive knowledge to properly optimise project time and costs. It can improve a construction project in the planning, construction, operation and scheduling phases. The findings of the diploma thesis provide a framework for improving the implementation of VR in construction across a broad range. The thesis can also serve as a foundation for adapting VR into a construction company, for the design or construction phase.
Problem
In recent decades, the construction industry has become more complex, particularly in large-scale projects. The construction industry requires extensive knowledge to properly optimise project time and costs. The aim of the diploma thesis is to analyse the implementation of modern technology, such as Building Information Modelling (** BIM) and Virtual Reality ( VR**) in construction, as well as the challenges of converting BIM models into a virtual model using a virtual reality environment.
In a virtual environment, the client and project team can easily understand the project in which they are immersed in the virtual model of the building. The model in virtual reality can be used to improve coordination between different parties, provide a reliable source of information, simulate the construction process and anticipate potential problems at different stages of the project. VR can provide better productivity in all phases of building construction.
Solution and Method
It can improve a construction project in the planning, construction, operation and scheduling phases. In the planning phase, the virtual environment can help the client and other participants understand the project without engineering prior knowledge. The client can participate in finding solutions and design alternatives due to understanding the planning process.
During construction, the virtual model can contribute to greater agility of stakeholders and greater project efficiency, saving time and money, and it is also possible to avoid conflicts during construction. The diploma thesis focuses on studying existing research and former case studies, as well as BIM software, which presents the advantages of using VR in construction.
Results
The findings of the diploma thesis provide a framework for improving the implementation of VR in construction across a broad range. The thesis can also serve as a foundation for adapting VR into a construction company, for the design or construction phase.
