This paper classifies apartment construction materials into five typologies with representative material types listed in Table 1. The classification hierarchy consists of tagging methods, locations, and duration.
The material typologies with RFID can effectively deal with complex materials on a construction site. On-site trials support that the five key material types allow us to facilitate the construction of the information flow between RFID checkpoints. The life-span of the types of material will allow more practical usage.
Previous research on lifecycle management for material control [12] and [16] considered permanent tag types. However, the control of some material types may need removable and disposable tag types to ensure the effectiveness of the ILM framework. The issue needs to be investigated more carefully.
