Knotworking represents a distributed collaborative expertise in pursuit of a task that is organized among designers from different design disciplines. Construction processes involve phases and tasks that cannot be solved in one organization only, as integration of expert knowledge from various sources is needed. Through knotworking, groups of people, tasks and tools are set to work intensively for a short period of time to solve a problem or accomplish a task. Knotworking requires intensive collaboration across organizational boundaries and hierarchies. The practice of knotworking has been developed and applied in the development of healthcare organizations, libraries and school-university relationships, but it has not previously been applied in the construction industry. In this paper, we describe the concept of knotworking and the findings of a case study that we completed in the Finnish construction industry. We will also compare the similarities and differences of the Big Room and knotworking in terms of participants, duration, target, space/infrastructure, benefits and challenges. Finally, we present some suggestions for further research and experimentation on knotworking in construction projects.

Earthmoving operations account for approximately 25% of construction cost, generally executed prior to the construction of buildings and structures with heavy equipment. For the successful completion of earthwork projects, it is crucial to constantly monitor earthwork equipment (e.g., trucks), estimate productivity, and optimize the construction process and equipment on a construction site. Traditional methods however require time-consuming and painstaking tasks for the manual observations of the ongoing field operations. This study proposed the use of a GPS sensor embedded in a smartphone for the tracking and visualization of equipment locations, which are in turn used for the estimation and simulation of cycle times and production rates of ongoing earthwork. This approach is implemented into a digital platform enabling real-time data collection and simulation, particularly in a 2D (e.g., maps) or 3D (e.g., point clouds) virtual environment where the spatial and temporal flows of trucks are visualized. In the case study, the digital platform is applied for an earthmoving operation at the site development work of commercial factories. The results demonstrate that the production rates of various equipment usage scenarios (e.g., the different numbers of trucks) can be estimated through simulation, and then, the optimal number of tucks for the equipment fleet can be determined, thus supporting the practical potential of real-time sensing and simulation for onsite equipment management.

IoT, 빅데이터, 드론, 클라우드 등 정보기술이 등장하면서 정보화 사회가 지능화, 창조화사회로 변화되고 있으며, 건설분야에서도 이러한 정보기술을 접목하여 과거의 노동집약형 산업에서 융합형 첨단기술산업으로 변화를 도모하고 있다. 특히, 건설사업관리시스템은 1998년부터 5년마다 건설사업정보화 기본계획을 수립하여 기능개선 및 고도화를 진행하고 있으며, 현재 2012년에 수립한 제4차 건설사업정보화 기본계획을 기반으로 시스템을 개선중에 있다. 그러나, 급변하는 정보기술의 발전으로 웹호환성, 공간정보, 빅데이터, BIM, 윈도우10 등이 대두되면서, 시스템 개편을 위한 체계적인 계획 수립이 필요한 실정이었다. 따라서, 본 연구는 건설사업관리시스템을 기준으로 새로운 건설IT환경을 반영한 시스템 로드맵을 마련하였다. 이를 위해 건설분야의 내 외부 환경요인을 조사 분석하고, 타 정보시스템의 개발현황과 건설사업관리시스템의 문제점을 도출한 후 SWOT 분석기법을 이용하여 핵심성공요인을 도출하였다. 도출된 결과를 토대로 시스템의 비전, 목표, 추진방향 및 전략, 중점 세부추진과제와 추진일정을 마련하고 델파이방법을 통해 최종적으로 4개 중점추진과제와 9개 세부추진 과제를 마련하였다. 이렇게 마련된 로드맵은 향후 건설사업관리시스템의 운영 지표로 활용되며, 건설분야 유관 정보시스템의 향후 추진전략 수립시 참고자료로 활용될 수 있다.

This paper concerns about residential environment analysis program implementation for design and analysis on public housing complexes such that view and daylight analysis processes are automated and integrated into existing design routine to achieve better design efficiency. Considering the architectural design trends this paper chooses ArchiCAD as a platform for a CAD system, which contains the concepts such as integrated object-oriented CAD, virtual building and BIM. Residential environment analysis system consists of three components. The first component is the 3D modeling part defining 3D form information for external geographic contour models, site models and interior/exterior of apartment buildings. The second is the parametric library part handling the design parameters for view and daylight analysis. The last is the user interface for the input/output and integration of data for the environment analysis. Daylight analysis shows rendered images as well as results of daylight reports and grades per time and performs the calculations for floor shadow. It separates the site-only analysis from the analysis of site and exterior environmental parameters. View analysis considers horizontal and vertical view angles to produce view image from each unit and uses the bitmap analysis method to determine opening ratio, scenery ratio and void ratio. We could expect better performance and precision from this residential environment analysis system than the existing 2D drawing based view and daylight analysis methods and overcome the existing one-way flow of design information from 3D form to analysis reports so that site design modifications are automatically reflected on analysis results. Each part is developed in a module so that further integration and extension into other related estimation and construction management systems are made possible.
