Construction industry (WP8)

Work Package WP8 focuses on the construction sector and is based on a systematic, multi-stage methodology that integrates advanced data acquisition, a multi-agent AI framework with an MLLM orchestrator, and the on-site implementation of results. The research links Scan-to-BIM processes and building diagnostics with adaptive manufacturing, thereby creating a comprehensive and intelligently managed ecosystem with the potential for long-term development.

The main objective of WP8 is the comprehensive optimisation of construction processes and the automation of structural diagnostics, with a direct link to Building Information Modelling (BIM) and construction schedule management. The work package will deliver advanced methodologies, software tools and proven technologies with a clear practical impact on streamlining and modernising real-world construction practice.

What problem does the WP solve, and why is it important?

01

Structural diagnostics and quality control on site are slow and prone to human error

02

Digitising buildings is labour-intensive, and the data is difficult to integrate with BIM modelling

03

Construction schedule management lacks dynamism and is unable to respond flexibly to changes in real time

04

Field data collection is fragmented and lacks automated orchestration

05

Adaptive production is not sufficiently linked to the actual situation on site

Examples of use / areas of application and benefits

Industrial construction

Automated real-time quality control
Dynamic time management of the construction project

Manufacturing and modular construction

Reducing scrap rates and material consumption
A contribution to decarbonisation

WP Leader

prof. Ing. Bc. Radoslav Sovják, Ph.D., LL.M.

National Centre for Construction 4.0 | CIIRC CTU

Radoslav Sovják works at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague as Vice-Dean for International Affairs and a professor in the field of building structures; he also heads the National Centre for Construction 4.0 (NS4.0) at the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics (CIIRC CTU). Within the project, he coordinates Work Package 8 (WP8), which focuses on the construction industry, where he is involved in the use of artificial intelligence for monitoring production processes and diagnosing building structures. He has extensive experience in applied research and collaboration with industry, which has led to the development of advanced materials and structural solutions with practical applications.
