Abstract
A construction progress visualization system, having a scaffolding model creating-unit for creating an area and a form of scaffolding required for a construction operation based on a 3D CAD model and a construction schedule data; a scaffolding schedule extracting-unit for extracting scaffolding schedule data regarding the scaffolding from the construction schedule data; a scaffolding display form determining-unit for determining a completion rate of the scaffolding on a visualization-target date based on a relationship between the visualization-target date and the scaffolding schedule data, and obtaining a display form of the scaffolding; and a display process unit for displaying, concurrently with the CAD model, the scaffolding area based on the obtained display form of the scaffolding.
