Case Study of the Application of a Digital Pen to a Defect Checklist of an Apartment Housing Project

Abstract:

Information technology (IT) has been introduced to the construction industry to improve productivity and competitiveness. But IT tools are not being activated because field engineers are not familiar with IT tools, and consider the additional work to be a burden. Therefore, this study aims to examine the potential application of the Digital Pen to the construction industry. The results of this study showed that there is the potential to apply the Digital Pen to many fields of the construction industry.
