Abstract
At construction job site, engineers have to deal with interrelationships and conflicts between various working activities during MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) construction. The traditional 2-dimensional drawings cannot provide detail information for solving those issues occurring. Although 3D BIM can provide information to solve space conflicts, it is hard to locate 3D BIM properly according to various MEP construction activities. In addition, if the discrepancy of the information between the design and on-site situation occurs, it is also difficult to notice differences and identify these changes in real time. Therefore, this research first analyzes the informational and operational needs in the MEP construction to establish the mechanism of converting BIM to AR and building the cloud database that fulfills the requirements of MEP construction. Then a collaborative application that integrates BIM and AR to provide information to assist engineers during MEP construction is developed. As a result, the proposed application with the auxiliary functions can improve the MEP construction activities in terms of acquiring and updating information in real time.
