Residential construction manufacturing estimating framework: the case of lightweight timber framing
DownloadFall 2020
The term industrialized construction was adopted by the offsite construction industry where the building components are prefabricated in factories and then transported to the construction site for on-site assembly. With this shift towards industrialized construction, new challenges were...

A framework for offsite construction manufacturing process improvement through digitalization and automated real-time data collection
DownloadFall 2022
This thesis proposes methods to apply real-time data to improve manufacturing operations in offsite construction using a combination of tools such as simulation, machine learning, and exploratory data analysis. These methods are applied to increase flexibility in operations and digitalize the...

BIM-Based Data Mining Approach to Estimating Job Man-Hour Requirements in Structural Steel Fabrication
DownloadSpring 2015
In a steel fabrication shop, jobs from different clients and projects are generally processed simultaneously in order to streamline production processes, improve resource utilization, and achieve cost-effectiveness in serving multiple concurrent steel-erection sites. Reliable quantity takeoff on...

Extracting and Integrating Industrial Construction Steel Trade Data in ill-formed BIM Models
DownloadFall 2017
Oil and gas are known for their huge-size and complex projects that consist of multiple trades’ subprojects such as concrete, steel, and piping. These subprojects are executed within a confined area during a limited time frame. This requires careful planning and coordination between these...
