During a civil engineering construction process many types of professionals are involved, such as engineers, constructors, designers, clients and so forth. To provide mutual understanding among construction workers and to unify their ideas, the creation of an effective presentation is necessary. In addition, the construction process has to work relatively in harmony with the situation of the construction site. Moreover, the use of computer graphics (CG) can help to clearly visualize sequences of the construction process, simulate changes in the execution of the project and carry them out smoothly before the construction begins. The paper introduces the application of Frame Accurate Animation (FAA) as an important implement for construction management. It also explains the use of FAA in an illustrative example of the Sashiki Bridge (provisional name) construction project in Kumamoto. Our main expectation is for the work environment to become more cooperative, efficient and safe.
