Martinez-Miranzo, D.; Rizo-Maestre, C.; Gomez-Donoso, F. and Cazorla, M. (2026) Mixed reality for construction house evaluation and quality assessing. Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 152(10): 04026173, ISSN 0733-9364
Abstract
The construction industry is a critical sector of the global economy, requiring strict adherence to regulations and accurate execution of building plans to ensure quality and customer satisfaction. In this context, we propose a mixed reality (MR) system for construction house evaluation and quality assessing (CHEQA). MR. CHEQA enables the overlay of digital construction definition models onto real-world construction sites, allowing users to visually compare the intended design with the actual construction. The system also provides measurement tools to quantify discrepancies and assess compliance with industry standards. Implemented using a commercially available mixed-reality headset, MR. CHEQA enhances on-site verification processes by offering an intuitive and immersive visualization of construction elements, such as walls, windows, electrical layouts, and piping. Experimental evaluations in different settings demonstrated the system's effectiveness. The results presented in this study demonstrate the potential of MR. CHEQA as a valuable tool for improving quality control in construction projects.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
