This paper presents an approach of using cable-driven parallel robots for automated
construction. Masonry buildings are considered as appropriate application case due to repetitive …

At early planning phases, the investigation of possible design options helps to find a suitable
design for the client despite complex boundary conditions. In this context, the use of BIM …

Building Information Modeling, as a model-based approach, has various implications for the
