Introduction of the Research Group

The group was founded to carry out research activities in the field of technological innovations related to the construction industry. The main fields of the research are the (i) investigation of automation processes at construction technologies, (ii) the development of automated building diagnostic methods and (iii) the development of advanced construction time scheduling and monitoring methods. 
In 2019 the group has started two research branches, a software development for time scheduling and the development of automated state survey system for historic buildings.

Achievements

1) Development of time scheduling software - Construction scheduling techniques are limited in use, which limitation is based on the modeling of the activities and the relation types. The project aims to remove these limitations, develop and validate new algorithms.

2) Development of automated survey system for monitoring historic buildings - Initiation of such systems were done with a few successful test runs in laboratory and on-site environments.
