  Introduction CPM(Construction Progress Monitoring) is the term that plays a very vital role in the execution of any project in the construction industry. Basically, it’s a process of monitoring and tracking the execution progress of any project whether the progression is as per the pre-scheduled plan, and figuring out the issues or on-site challenges. So that immediate mitigation can be done or suggested to avoid time & cost overruns and to keep the progress on track. Current execution process in construction The construction industry has been following traditional practices in execution with very partial use of digital technology tools. Let's say, before starting any construction project, there would be a predetermined integrated schedule for each and every activity which is timelined with respect to the cost. Based on the schedule & sequence of the work processes will get kick-started. So there will be an individual team to execute and to monitor the assigned task throu...

Introduction: Physical libraries and their impact on cost and time in operation. Librarian gatering technical drawings In large  manufacturing  units, there are physical libraries where all the technical documents (engineering  drawings , user manual, spec sheets, QC certificates, Inspection documents, etc) are stored. There is also a custodian for all these drawings called librarians who keep track of these documents as well. He will be well aware of all the documents available in the library.  Usually, these documents are accessed by the maintenance/engineering or operating departments during 4 or 5 instances as mentioned below. when are Maintenance Documents essential? When these departmental people gain more experience working in the same plant the number of times they refer to these documents decreases. But have you ever thought of a library without a librarian? Yes, it will be a mess. Here is something for you to think of. Consider a librarian who will be there...

  Introduction‍ The construction and infrastructure sector is the second-largest unorganized sector after the agriculture sector, which is the backbone of every country. In the present world, ‘Data’ is the next fuel. The AEC industry is generating a lot of data in every project, but it is fragmented at multiple locations with multiple people. So the only way to collate all the data related to a project is to have a Common Data Environment(CDE). The British Standard Institute (BSI) specifies a standard known as  ISO 19650  that is specifically for the construction and infrastructure sector, which talks about the implementation of  Building Information Modeling (BIM)  in civil and engineering works and  information management  using BIM. A single platform where the information related to a project is stored, managed, and controlled through the entire life cycle of an asset is called a Common Data Environment (CDE). This is the platform where all the stak...
