Abstract

Typically, mobile shared workspaces are not used in the construction industry. However, they could play an important role to increase communication among workers, organize work more efficiently, reduce the coordination cost, and keep an updated overview of the project. This paper presents a MSW designed to support inspection processes in construction projects. This application allows mobile workers several functionalities, including doing annotations on digital maps, creating tasks linked to the annotations, synchronizing information of a project, collaborating on-demand and exchanging information among collaborators.
