STRATEGIES FOR MEASURING PROGRESS AND PRODUCTIVITY IN MODEL-BASED CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

Nowadays, model-based technologies have been developed to change the conventional manual progress in measuring progress and productivity in projects management. However, the current literature lacks the proper strategies in developing a model-based construction projects. This study provides the potential strategy to measure progress using model-based technology. A semi- structured interview method was used to get information from industry practitioners. The thematic analysis has been implemented to classify each information into themes. The findings of this study show that four common strategies can be used to measure progress in model-based construction. The strategies are 1) image capturing, 2) management software, 3) modelling and simulation, and 4) report and documentation. Meanwhile, the challenge to implement the method to measure progress in Model-Based Construction Projects is broadly divided into two themes: 1) people and 2) instruments. Hopefully, this study can provide information and strategies to measure progress and productivity in construction in model-based construction projects.
