3D scene capture: A comprehensive review of techniques and tools for efficient Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and Emergency Preparedness (EP) applications (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Fadli, F., Barki, H., Boguslawski, P., & Mahdjoubi, L. (2015, September). 3D scene capture: A comprehensive review of techniques and tools for efficient Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and Emergency Preparedness (EP) applications. Paper presented at International Conference on Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Design, Construction and Operations - BIM 2015, Bristol, United Kingdom

3D scene capture is a critical task in many domains, especially for BIM model reconstruction of existing facilities, Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), and Emergency Preparedness (EP). While initial CAD/GIS plans and drawings, if they exist, represent a va...

An examination of clients and project teams developing information requirements for the Asset Information Model (AIM) (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Navendren, D., Mahdjoubi, L., Mason, J., & Shelbourn, M. (2015, September). An examination of clients and project teams developing information requirements for the Asset Information Model (AIM). Paper presented at BIM 2015 Conference, University of the West of England, Bristol

The client brief not being met by the final construction project could be due to a lack of clarity and collaboration causing substantial difficulties. As the final end-product on a construction project is most heavily influenced by decisions made in...
