Notifications are triggered when monitored parameters exceed predefined thresholds. They help project teams respond quickly to safety, environmental, or operational risks by providing real-time updates from sensors, monitoring systems, or equipment, reducing the likelihood of costly delays or incidents.
The licensed professional or firm responsible for designing a project, preparing technical specifications, and overseeing construction to ensure compliance with plans. They play a central role in coordinating disciplines, addressing design changes, and safeguarding quality and safety.
This is a precise digital or physical record of a completed project, showing the exact dimensions, locations, and specifications after construction. Created using surveys, scans, or updated BIM models, it reflects changes from the original design and supports operations, maintenance, and future project modifications.
It’s an organized system for monitoring, servicing, and improving physical assets from acquisition to disposal. In construction and infrastructure, AMS integrates data, analytics, and maintenance schedules to improve asset performance, extend lifespan, reduce costs, and ensure compliance with safety and operational standards.
Augmented Reality (AR) overlays digital information on the real world, while Virtual Reality (VR) immerses users in a wholly digital environment. For construction, AR/VR enhances design visualization, site training, safety planning, and stakeholder engagement by allowing users to explore projects interactively before or during execution.
This utilizes technology such as sensors, IoT devices, drones, and scanners to collect information without manual entry. In construction, it enhances accuracy, minimizes delays, and facilitates real-time monitoring of progress, safety, and performance by seamlessly integrating data into project management and analytics systems.
Generates and delivers reports automatically at scheduled intervals or in response to specific events, thereby reducing manual effort and ensuring a timely flow of information. In construction projects, automated reporting streamlines progress tracking, compliance documentation, and performance monitoring.
This glossary provides clear, concise definitions of key concepts in construction and infrastructure management, helping readers understand the technologies, processes, and practices that shape the industry. It serves as a quick reference for both technical and non-technical audiences looking to stay informed in a rapidly evolving field.
