This episode explores

cutting-edge research in construction project management through advanced

analytics, simulation, and human-centered approaches, discussing how machine learning,

agent-based modeling, and physiological monitoring are transforming the Last Planner

System and lean construction practices to optimize both project performance and worker

wellbeing.

This episode explore how project management processes are evolving within the Industry 5.0 context,

discussing the harmonious integration between people, processes and technology, and how

this transformation is redefining quality and efficiency in construction projects.

The construction industry is undergoing a significant digital transformation, with Digital Twin Construction emerging as a revolutionary paradigm that promises to reshape how we manage construction projects. Digital Twin Construction builds upon the foundations of Lean Construction, Building Information Modeling (BIM), Artificial Intelligence, and Automated Data Acquisition to create dynamic, data-driven construction management systems that leverage real-time insights and predictive analytics.

The construction industry stands at a critical crossroads. While other sectors have

embraced industrialization and achieved remarkable productivity gains over the past century,

construction has remained largely craft-based, with productivity growth lagging significantly

behind other industries. However, a revolutionary transformation is underway, driven by the

convergence of digital technologies, lean methodologies, and industrialized construction

approaches.

The construction industry is undergoing a significant digital transformation, with Digital Twin Construction emerging as a revolutionary paradigm that promises to reshape how we manage construction projects. Digital Twin Construction builds upon the foundations of Lean Construction, Building Information Modeling (BIM), Artificial Intelligence, and Automated Data Acquisition to create dynamic, data-driven construction management systems that leverage real-time insights and predictive analytics.

The construction industry continues to face persistent challenges including inefficiencies, schedule delays, and high injury rates, despite significant advancements in digital technologies. While simulation and gamification approaches have shown promising results in improving efficiency, safety, and collaboration across various sectors, their integration within lean construction practices remains largely unexplored territory. Simulation methods such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), Discrete Event Simulation (DES), Virtual Reality (VR), and emerging Digital Twin technologies offer powerful tools for predictive modeling and decision-making support.

Na construção civil, plataformas gamificadas têm se mostrado eficazes no treinamento de trabalhadores, simulando ambientes de obra e promovendo uma cultura de segurança mais forte. Além disso, a gestão de projetos se beneficia de dashboards gamificados que incentivam a eficiência e o cumprimento de metas. Estudos de caso, como o uso de BIM e aplicativos móveis para a manutenção de equipamentos, evidenciam o potencial transformador dessa abordagem. A gamificação promete um futuro mais eficiente e colaborativo para a construção civil.

Mas como isso se traduz na prática? Quais são os desafios e as oportunidades na aplicação desta temática para a área da construção civil? Saiba mais neste episódio.

In this episode, we’ll explore these three fronts as applied to complex environments — with multiple scopes, simultaneous interfaces, and tight schedules — highlighting the use of tools such as BIM, Gantt charts, Line of Balance, 360° cameras, multidisciplinary daily hubs, and integrated big rooms. We’ll also discuss the challenges of leadership and resource allocation in dynamic settings, and how well-executed Lean practices can lead to real gains in productivity, control, and value delivery to the client. To talk about the subject, we have with us the Lean Consultant and Innovation Director at LD Consulting Fabrício Vargas

Técnicas de Monitoramento de Integridade Estrutural (SHM) são essenciais para garantir a segurança e prolongar a vida útil dessas estruturas. A ideia central consiste em detectar falhas estruturais em tempo real ou mesmo prever sua ocorrência antes que possam comprometer a segurança de uma estrutura. Para falar sobre o assunto, está presente conosco o Professor Dr. Diogo de Souza Rabelo, que falará sobre quais são os desafios e as oportunidades na aplicação do Monitoramento de Integridade Estrutural para a construção civil.
