Engineering report generation from construction-site Internet of Things (IoT) data using large language models (LLMs) remains challenging due to hallucinations. Ensuring traceability and reliability in information retrieval and multi-step reasoning is essential within retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for LLM. This paper formalizes the RAG-LLM pipeline and proposes a dual-stream enhancement combining knowledge graph (KG) construction with reinforcement learning (RL)-based retriever tuning. The graph-guided module extracts structured engineering elements, while RL improves semantic alignment and tokenization of critical terms. Leveraging this dual-stream RAG, a traceable reporting agent is developed, providing end-to-end traceability of retrieval and reasoning, along with inter-step similarity measures. When collaborating with existing on-site IoT systems, the agent can extend automated monitoring to decision-making support. This paper presents a reliable approach for construction report generation and advances human-AI collaboration in construction management.

由于存在幻觉，使用大型语言模型（llm）从建筑工地物联网（IoT）数据生成工程报告仍然具有挑战性。在LLM的检索增强生成（RAG）中，确保信息检索和多步推理的可追溯性和可靠性至关重要。本文形式化了RAG-LLM管道，并提出了一种结合知识图（KG）构建和基于强化学习（RL）的检索器调谐的双流增强方法。图引导模块提取结构化工程元素，而强化学习改进了关键术语的语义对齐和标记化。利用这个双流RAG，开发了一个可跟踪的报告代理，提供端到端检索和推理的可跟踪性，以及步骤间的相似性度量。当与现有的现场物联网系统协作时，代理可以将自动监控扩展到决策支持。本文提出了一种可靠的施工报告生成方法，并推进了人工智能在施工管理中的协作。

Digital Twin (DT) technology is emerging as a critical enabler for Off-Site Construction (OSC). However, current research remains fragmented. This paper synthesizes 50 publications using a mixed-methods approach, combining scientometric mapping with systematic qualitative analysis. Scientometric results reveal a bifurcated landscape, distinctly separating volumetric “Modular Construction” (logistics-focused) from component-based “Prefabrication” (geometry-focused). While applications in scheduling and monitoring are growing, widespread adoption is hindered by “Black-Box” AI opacity, data sovereignty issues, and fragmented standards. Furthermore, sustainability remains an implicit rather than explicit goal. The study concludes with a Strategic Research Roadmap charting the path toward autonomous ecosystems. It emphasizes the need for Neuro-symbolic AI, Operator 5.0 frameworks, and Digital Product Passports to bridge the gap between static monitoring and true Cognitive Digital Twins in OSC.

数字孪生（DT）技术正在成为非现场施工（OSC）的关键推动者。然而，目前的研究仍然是碎片化的。本文综合了50种出版物，采用混合方法，将科学计量制图与系统定性分析相结合。科学计量学的结果揭示了一个分叉的景观，明显地将体积“模块化结构”（以物流为重点）与基于组件的“预制”（以几何为重点）分开。虽然调度和监控方面的应用正在增长，但“黑箱”人工智能不透明、数据主权问题和支离破碎的标准阻碍了广泛采用。此外，可持续性仍然是一个隐含的目标，而不是明确的目标。该研究以战略研究路线图结束，绘制了通往自主生态系统的道路。它强调了对神经符号人工智能、操作员5.0框架和数字产品护照的需求，以弥合OSC中静态监控和真正的认知数字双胞胎之间的差距。

Computational Design Methods (CDMs) have increasingly supported the use of Found Objects (FOs) for circular construction. These methods automate the geometric assignment of FOs to a target design, yet a comprehensive overview is lacking. In this context, this paper systematically reviews 142 publications on CDMs for upcycling FOs in construction. It categorizes existing workflows and identifies six key CDMs based on assignment logic and four geometric FO types. The review serves as a roadmap for future research and practical applications, aiding architects and engineers in informed decision-making. It emphasizes the potential of utilizing FOs’ inherent geometry as design drivers for economical and aesthetic architectural solutions. This paper also identifies challenges in scaling CDMs from prototypes to practical applications, such as structural performance and integration with existing workflows. Future research directions include developing AI-based methods, automating construction processes using CDMs, and advocating for sensitivity analysis to assess adaptability across design scenarios.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have emerged as essential tools for building façade inspection. However, due to the repeating patterns on façades, automatically registering images taken by UAV to Building Information Modeling (BIM) models, though important for building maintenance, remains challenging. Existing methods often rely on GPS data, which lack sufficient accuracy in urban environments. This paper proposes a GPS-free automated framework to register UAV-captured image sequences to BIM models by leveraging information from overlapping images. The framework comprises three key components: (1) extracting semantic key points from images using the Grounded SAM 2; (2) implementing a virtual UAV camera model to enable bidirectional projection of key points between BIM coordinates and image coordinates; and (3) developing a particle filter motion model to achieve image-to-BIM registration using image sequences. The proposed method registers various data types to BIM models, including overlapping visual image sequences, infrared (IR)-visual pairs, and façade defects.

无人驾驶飞行器（uav）已成为建筑物外观检查的重要工具。然而，由于立面上的重复模式，自动注册无人机拍摄的图像到建筑信息建模（BIM）模型，虽然对建筑维护很重要，仍然具有挑战性。现有的方法通常依赖于GPS数据，在城市环境中缺乏足够的精度。本文提出了一个无gps的自动化框架，通过利用重叠图像的信息将无人机捕获的图像序列注册到BIM模型。该框架包括三个关键部分：(1)使用ground SAM 2从图像中提取语义关键点；(2)实现虚拟无人机摄像机模型，实现BIM坐标与图像坐标之间关键点的双向投影；(3)开发粒子滤波运动模型，使用图像序列实现图像到bim的注册。该方法将各种数据类型注册到BIM模型中，包括重叠的视觉图像序列，红外(IR)-视觉对和farade缺陷。

Accurate semantic understanding of indoor 3D point clouds is essential for constructing semantically rich architectural models and enabling component-level monitoring in smart building environments. This paper proposes a dependency-aware indoor 3D scene graph prediction framework that addresses two major limitations in existing methods. To address this, a Dependency-Aware Graph Reasoning Network (DAGRN) is introduced, integrating attention and message-passing mechanisms to learn context-dependent representations of objects and their relationships. Accordingly, a multimodal feature-enhanced learning module is proposed to align point cloud and image features and incorporate textual semantics from image–text models into a unified training scheme with triplet-level constraints ensuring semantic consistency. Extensive experiments on the 3RScan dataset demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms existing approaches, achieving a 3.95% improvement in overall prediction metrics, laying a foundation for advanced semantic modeling in building automation.

Using images captured by UAVs for high-fidelity 3D building reconstruction in architectural engineering is popular and effective nowadays; however, planning a flight trajectory that maximizes reconstruction quality with minimal flight time remains a critical challenge. This paper proposes a universal co-optimization framework that bridges reconstruction objectives with flight dynamics through an integrated planning paradigm. The proposed approach performs initial flight planning by solving a Traveling Salesman Problem over candidate viewpoints and updating them according to the unit-length contribution criterion. The adaptive radius is determined, and subsequently, the sphere-based corridor is constructed to enforce the trajectory passing all updated viewpoints within the corresponding spatial tolerances. Next, an optimal control problem is formulated and solved using a nonlinear solver to obtain the final flight trajectory satisfying both dynamic and safety constraints. Experimental comparisons with state-of-the-art methods on three public scenes and two real scenes captured by ourselves demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly improves flight efficiency, reducing travel distance and flight duration by approximately 10% to 40% with comparable or superior reconstruction quality.

利用无人机捕获的图像进行高保真的三维建筑重建是目前建筑工程中较为流行和有效的方法。然而，规划一个飞行轨迹，以最小的飞行时间最大限度地提高重建质量仍然是一个关键的挑战。本文提出了一个通用的协同优化框架，通过综合规划范式将重建目标与飞行动力学联系起来。该方法通过求解候选视点上的旅行推销员问题，并根据单位长度贡献准则对候选视点进行更新，从而实现初始飞行计划。确定自适应半径，然后构建基于球体的廊道，使轨迹在相应的空间容差范围内通过所有更新的视点。其次，建立了最优控制问题，并利用非线性求解器求解，得到了同时满足动力和安全约束的最终飞行轨迹。在三个公共场景和我们自己捕获的两个真实场景上与最先进的方法进行的实验比较表明，所提出的方法显着提高了飞行效率，将飞行距离和飞行时间减少了约10%至40%，并且具有相当或更好的重建质量。

Falls are the primary safety hazard in construction, with traditional manual inspections being inefficient and error-prone, and existing computer vision methods lacking generalization in complex scenarios. This paper presents the Construction Safety Vision-Language Model (CS-VLM), a framework for construction site fall hazard identification and automated captioning, which integrates ModelScope Swift (MS-Swift) adapters and Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) technology for efficient fine-tuning of the Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct model. To support model training, a standardized image-text dataset for fall hazards is constructed using a Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) -based natural language conversion method. Experimental results demonstrate that CS-VLM achieves a Consensus-based Image Description Evaluation (CIDEr) score of 1.324, Semantic Propositional Image Caption Evaluation (SPICE) score of 0.391, and hazard identification F1-score of 90.2%, outperforming state-of-the-art methods in complex scenario adaptability while reducing computational costs. This research enables precise, standardized hazard description generation, facilitating proactive safety management and accident prevention in construction environments.

As a critical indicator for evaluating road compaction quality, the Intelligent Compaction Measurement Value (ICMV) still suffers from significant scene dependency and the absence of a unified material-structure coupled evaluation framework, particularly in cross-layer compaction assessment. This paper develops a multi-domain analytical framework that integrates vibration signal time, frequency, and time-frequency features based on field data collected from typical road structures, including soil subgrade, cement-stabilized base layer, and asphalt layers. Rolling pass tracking, compactness prediction modeling, and Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) are employed to identify the generic ICMV applicable to pavement structural layers. Furthermore, comparative analyses are conducted to examine the numerical characteristics and vibration response behaviors of the generic ICMV across various structural layers. Finally, a statistically driven stepwise method is applied to determine the engineering ranges of the generic ICMV, thereby establishing a theoretical paradigm for multi-layer intelligent compaction standards and contributing to the digital transformation of pavement engineering.

作为评价道路压实质量的重要指标，智能压实测量值（ICMV）存在着严重的场景依赖性和缺乏统一的材料-结构耦合评价框架的问题，特别是在跨层压实评价中。本文开发了一个多域分析框架，该框架基于从典型道路结构（包括土壤路基、水泥稳定基层和沥青层）收集的现场数据，集成了振动信号的时间、频率和时频特征。采用滚道跟踪、密实度预测模型和Shapley加性解释（SHAP）等方法，确定了适用于路面结构层的通用ICMV。在此基础上，对通用ICMV在不同结构层间的数值特性和振动响应行为进行了对比分析。最后，采用统计驱动的逐步方法确定通用ICMV的工程范围，从而建立多层智能压实标准的理论范式，为路面工程的数字化转型做出贡献。

Monitoring cracks is critical for the safety and efficiency of the construction and operation of civil infrastructure. Distributed fiber optic sensors offer advantages for crack monitoring, but their applications are largely limited to near-field cracks. This paper presents an approach for in situ, real-time monitoring of far-field cracks using distributed acoustic sensing. The approach is developed through multi-physics modeling of a representative concrete highway bridge. The influence of key configuration parameters, including gauge length, channel spacing, and sampling rate, is evaluated for crack detection and localization. Results show that cracks located up to 6 m from a fiber optic cable are detected and localized with an average error of 0.94 m across 60 tests with varying crack scenarios and configurations. A cost-benefit analysis compares the proposed approach with state-of-the-art methods based on acoustic emission and distributed fiber optic sensing, demonstrating its benefits for far-field crack monitoring.

裂缝监测对民用基础设施建设和运行的安全性和效率至关重要。分布式光纤传感器为裂缝监测提供了优势，但其应用主要局限于近场裂缝。本文提出了一种利用分布式声传感技术对远场裂缝进行现场实时监测的方法。该方法是通过对一座具有代表性的混凝土公路桥进行多物理场建模而发展起来的。关键配置参数的影响，包括测量长度，通道间距，采样率，评估裂纹检测和定位。结果表明，在60次测试中，在不同的裂缝场景和结构下，检测到并定位了距离光缆6 m的裂缝，平均误差为0.94 m。成本效益分析将该方法与基于声发射和分布式光纤传感的最新方法进行了比较，证明了其在远场裂纹监测方面的优势。

Fluctuations in construction material prices significantly affect project budgets and bidding strategies via the Construction Cost Index (CCI). This paper develops an AI-driven decision-support system for construction cost forecasting and consultation, integrating deep learning and Large Language Models (LLMs) to enable intelligent CCI prediction. A multi-source data framework combines historical CCI records, macroeconomic indicators, and sentiment extracted from Traditional Chinese construction news. Time-series forecasting employs an Extended Long Short-Term Memory (xLSTM) network, while sentiment models are fine-tuned using Quantized Low-Rank Adaptation (QLoRA). Model hyperparameters for both the QLoRA-fine-tuned LLMs and the xLSTM forecasting models are optimized via the Pilgrimage Walk Optimization (PWO) algorithm, yielding two horizon-specific configurations for short- and medium-term forecasting. Experimental results demonstrate that integrating sentiment features and PWO-based tuning consistently improves forecasting accuracy relative to baseline models. The deployed platform integrates CCI forecasting, sentiment analytics, and retrieval-augmented consultation to provide interpretable forecasts that enhance cost control and decision-making in construction management.

建筑材料价格的波动通过建筑成本指数（CCI）显著影响项目预算和投标策略。本文开发了一个人工智能驱动的工程造价预测与咨询决策支持系统，将深度学习和大语言模型（llm）相结合，实现CCI的智能预测。一个多源数据框架结合了历史CCI记录、宏观经济指标和从中国传统建筑新闻中提取的情绪。时间序列预测采用扩展长短期记忆（xLSTM）网络，而情绪模型则使用量化低秩自适应（QLoRA）进行微调。qlora微调llm和xLSTM预测模型的模型超参数通过朝圣行走优化（ppo）算法进行优化，得到两种特定水平的短期和中期预测配置。实验结果表明，与基线模型相比，整合情感特征和基于pw的调优一致地提高了预测精度。部署的平台集成了CCI预测、情感分析和检索增强咨询，以提供可解释的预测，从而加强施工管理中的成本控制和决策。
