Abstract

Modular construction represents a significant advancement in the architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) domain, bolstering productivity by integrating factory-based manufacturing and efficient assembly techniques. This study presents a holistic approach, merging Building Information Modelling (BIM) with technological automation interoperability, to facilitate seamless prefabrication and automatic monitoring within modular construction projects. It underscores the importance of comprehensive management across the construction lifecycle, from prefabrication to final assembly. The research advocates for an integrated framework encompassing information identification, data mapping between Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) and ProgressXML (PXML), and semantic enrichment for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tracking. This approach is aimed at streamlining data exchange, automating fabrication processes, enhancing quality control, and optimizing precast supply chain management, thereby improving overall information management among project stakeholders.
