Project Monitoring & Control
• Project Monitoring: To track the progress, identify and
detect any deviations from BUDGET ($) / SCHEDULE (T) /
QUALITY
• Project Control: To correct the project to be on track. Bring
project performance (BUDGET, SCHEDULE, QUALITY) back
to the plans OR revise the plans

As-built BIM
What?
• Creating a digital representation of an existing facility with its physical and functional
characteristics ensuring HIGH accuracies of geometric information
• A Building Information Model of an existing facility
Why?
• As-built documentation
• The only reliable resource/baseline for operation & management (O&M)
• Enabling an accurate digital twin by providing as-built 3D model
How?
• Scan-to-BIM

Important note
• Challenges:
Trusting the technologies
Right knowledge - Understand the outputs & how it works (3D model
from images vs 3D scans)
Garbage in, garbage out
Cost – Training personnel / Hardware / Software
• Start with the end in mind
• Decision-makers are always needed
