What is the Critical Path Method (CPM) used for in construction project management?
Answer: Identifying the longest sequence of dependent activities that determines project duration
CPM identifies the longest chain of dependent activities (the critical path), which determines the minimum project duration and where schedule delays will impact completion.
What is a Building Automation System (BAS)?
Answer: A computerized system that monitors and controls HVAC, lighting, and other building systems
A BAS automatically monitors and controls HVAC, lighting, security, and other building systems from a central interface to optimize performance and energy efficiency.
What does RFID technology enable on a construction project site?
Answer: Real-time tracking of materials, equipment, and personnel throughout the site
RFID tags attached to materials, equipment, and worker badges transmit location data to site readers, enabling real-time tracking and inventory management.
What is the purpose of a Project Management Information System (PMIS) in construction?
Answer: To centralize project data including schedules, costs, documents, and communications in one platform
A PMIS integrates schedule, cost, document management, and communications into a single platform, enabling better coordination and real-time decision-making across the project team.
Which technology captures millions of data points to produce precise 3D point clouds for as-built documentation of existing structures?
Answer: 3D laser scanning (LiDAR)
3D laser scanning uses LiDAR technology to measure distances with laser pulses and create highly accurate point clouds that document existing conditions as-built.
What is modular construction?
Answer: Building volumetric room-sized units in a factory that are transported and assembled at the final site
Modular construction builds three-dimensional volumetric units (including structure, MEP, and finishes) in a controlled factory, then transports and stacks them at the final site.
