This study aims to improve the productivity in the manufacturing stage of exterior materials and back frames that act as a critical path before facade works. To this end, this study chose stone works as an example, analyzed the detailed process, and automated the process that causes a lot of redundancy and inefficiency, wasting time and money. This study consists of two automation modules: the first includes auto-calculating the bill of quantity using parameters within a BIM-based design plan. Meanwhile, the second module automates the remaining process, which is inevitable but time-consuming and redundant using robotic process automation. This study makes the highly repetitive, low-efficiency, time-wasting, and cost-consuming process efficient and reduces human errors.
