Construction projects development are divided into different phases, these phases shape the process of reflecting the project objectives into a detailed design and plans for the project’s execution. The execution phase is the phase where the detailed plans are constructed. This phase involves the use of information, resources, and methodologies to construct the planned project. Managing the interactions among the inputs in the execution phase is challenging and insufficient management practices can lead to reduce the project value and increase the possibility of waste generated. Therefore, efforts where dedicated to integrating the lean construction theory within the execution phase to handle the issues of value and waste. From the perspective that implementation of lean construction theory requires supportive tools in visualizing, simulating, and predicting the various factors affecting quality and waste; the author proposes the integration of Mixed Reality tools within lean construction theory to perceive better execution process.
The aim of carrying out this study is to figure out the benefit that Mixed Reality can add to the implementation of lean construction within construction execution phase. In addition, identify the improvements from integrating the Mixed Reality/Lean construction within execution phase to perceive better execution process.
The study’s goals achieved by organizing a literature review on Mixed Reality and Lean Construction concept within construction execution phase. Also, five different case studies are analysed to identify Mixed Reality technology, Lean Construction theory, and implementing of them in construction execution phase. The author proposed specific questions and asked from professionals in fields of Mixed Reality and Lean Construction to cover parts of the main study questions.
The author was able based on this study to identify challenges related to both fields (Mixed Reality and Lean Construction), analyse the required knowledge/tools/skills that has to be involved to perceive a proper implementation of Lean Mixed Reality, identify the benefits that Lean Mixed Reality can add to the execution phase management, and finally determine the challenges/improvement suggestions that Lean Mixed Reality implementation can face.
Key words: Mixed Reality, Lean Construction, Construction Execution Management, BIM, Lean Mixed Reality.
