Ishida Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that makes construction sites more efficient through data and surveying.
AboutAbout the lab
Supporting construction sites with data.
The Ishida Lab researches how to raise productivity at the construction sites where buildings are built.
The lab works on ICT-based construction, which uses data such as 3D surveying to grasp conditions on site.
It also analyzes the working time required for construction work and studies ways to improve work efficiency on site.
Key terms
- ICT-based construction (jōhōka sekō)
- A way of managing construction work on a site using data gathered through surveying and sensors.
- Surveying
- Accurately measuring the shape and position of land and buildings using instruments.
- Work efficiency
- A measure of how much work, such as construction work, gets done within a given amount of time.

ResearchResearch themes
The Ishida Lab researches ways to raise productivity at construction sites. It studies ICT-based construction, which uses data such as 3D surveying, and ways to improve work efficiency on site.
*Illustrative imageManaging and Regenerating Buildings with BIM
This research uses BIM, which compiles building information into a 3D digital model, for management after construction as well. It examines asset management of rental buildings, regeneration of aging rental properties, and construction cost estimation premised on overseas BIM.
*Illustrative imageEstimating the Lifespan of Public Facilities
To rebuild aging public facilities in a planned way, it is necessary to know how long buildings will continue to be used. Using information published by local governments and others, the lab estimates the service life of public facility buildings.
*Illustrative imageTransforming Construction Sites Facing Labor Shortages
The construction industry has long faced a shortage of workers. The lab examines how far new technologies such as robots can raise site productivity, and the relationship between rising construction costs and housing prices, in order to think about the future of construction.
