Abstract

The progress of construction sites is in many cases unexpectedly delayed by external influences, for instance weather, changes in the client's demands or involvement of residents. This may cause changes in the construction cycle. The detailed initial plans become invalid and it is required to immediately develop new plans taking the new circumstances into account. This will allow construction companies to avoid unnecessary allocation of resources, idle time and costs. In this paper methods to determine the volume of excavation pits based on point clouds obtained by image based 3D reconstruction are investigated. Furthermore it explains how to introduce the results into a model of the construction project which can be used to create new schedules. Additionally the possible benefits of re-planning project schedules after observing a task to be faster or slower than expected are described.
