Advantages And Disadvantages Of Industrialised Building System

There are top 25 works can be done by BIM in Construction Industry and every BIM use has different frequency and benefit. The works done by using BIM in construction industry are as follows:

In my opinion, this way would not be a good way to determine the benefits of BIM when compared to the other two researches because, in this case, the response level was observed as 70%, and the others were case studies, which means they have been already implemented in the field on the site of construction. Two projects were selected where one of it followed BIM techniques and the other didn’t right from the beginning of construction. And from the literature review it is observed that the projects followed Integrated Project Delivery method where the planning starts from the pre construction phase of the project, and this project delivery method is the efficient way of project delivery method since all the teams will be coordinated much before the pre construction phase of the project. The case study presented in the first paper was based on owner's perspective and had less visibility to the contractor or designer. Apart from this, some of the data available was historical, thus an ideal state would be proper tracking of metrics by the team while

(“Building Information Modeling”) BIM is digital, meaning it is able to be shared with all people working on the project so that it can be modified where it is needed. Along with being able to share, BIM is capable of showing how much pressure is applied to objects in the buildings. The materials these objects are made of can also be changed very easily with a few taps on a screen or clicks of a mouse. With all this in mind, where is building information technology going? Well, right now, it is going nowhere for a few reasons. People may take courses and tutorials in different programs, but in the end, it is still difficult to see errors. Most errors are able to blend in with the pieces that are in the correct place. The issue is that the computer isn’t aware. Computers are being given commands, they aren’t able to point out what is wrong because they don’t know. Another issue is that everyone working on a project using BIM must know what they are looking at and how to use the tools. Until these issues are resolved, BIM won’t be going into the future improved. (Azhar Salman, “Building Information Modeling (BIM): Benefits, Risks and

B.I.M stands for Building Information Modeling, intelligent model-based process that provides insight to help you plan, design, construct, and mange buildings and infrastructure. B.I.M changes how buildings, infrastructure, and utilities are planned, designed, built, and managed. Autodesk B.I.M solutions help turn information into insight and deliver business value at every step in the process. B.I.M incorporates major elements of estimating, cost and project management. As a result, the B.I.M computer model is a living representation of the actual structure at any given time. B.I.M is more than drawings- it is a date repository for building design, construction, and maintenance information combined in one convenient model to share. The benefits of B.I.M are that there are reduced changes during construction. Reduced conflicts during construction and improved construction. Improved collective understanding of design intent reduces claims, disputes, and conflicts. B.I.M provides the capability to design efficient “Green Buildings.” The future of B.I.M will only make B.I.M better, the Information of B.I.M will be utilized more, designers, constructors and building owners will leverage the information that is right in from of them to add value to the building they are producing. Room and furniture, fixture, and equipment validation between

As a conclusion the contractor view influential barrier of implementation IBS system in Malaysia is cost and financial issue. This is the main reasons for barrier IBS implementation in Malaysia. A small contractors that has small company not able

Numbers of BIM research documents have been focusing on the advantages of the use of BIM but only a few underlined the importance of embedding BIM at an early stage of teaching the principles of the architectural and construction industry. Thus the direction I took, tend to focus on the importance of embedding BIM principles from the very beginning of teaching construction concepts.

The design and construction of buildings can be a complicated business involving different professions, contractors, sub-contractors and operatives. This type of work is varied and employs many construction personnel with different roles and responsibilities, working together to complete a project in as successful way- on time, on budget and to the right specification. A large project would involve a great number of different activities:

BIM is becoming the standard for transforming the way facilities are programmed, designed, built, operated and disposed in the federal government. (Sullivan and Sherman2007) In the private sector, clients like Disney are asking for BIM projects. BIM project is being used around the world. It was used to design the Eureka Towers in Melbourne Australia which is the tallest residential building in the world. It was also used to create the Freedom Towers which will be the world’s tallest structure, overlooking the World Trade Center in New York City. It is also being used to renovate the Pentagon which is the largest office building in the world. The London Hospital Projects which is a very huge project also uses BIM. (Howell and Batcheler 2005) It is hoped that globalization will bring new competitors to the industry thereby bringing about a desired change in the present gap.

The aim of this Literature Review is to gain an understanding of what Building Information Modelling (BIM) is, what SMEs are, establish the importance of BIM, why BIM should be implemented and to explore the key issues associated with the adoption and implementation of BIM by SMEs in a live construction environment.

The drive to promote this innovation in the construction sector and make radical changes to procure more efficiently, have been recommended in several reports. (Egan, 1998; Latham, 1994). As the result of Egan report, the Movement for Innovation - M4I have been established.

Develop and implement innovative construction methods and systems to meet specific project and contractual requirements.

It is generally accepted that inadequately organized construction information initiates the loss of time, high cost and inconsistency, which indicates the significance of BIM standards

Malaysia is one of the developing countries by upholding numbers of industrial sectors such as petroleum, plantation and including construction industry. Right after the country had gained the independence in 1957, local construction methods and procurements had adapted traditional way of British since its colonization; insitu, and kept evolving to suit the local necessity. Higher supply in construction drastically increased when entering 1998 to serve residential, commercial area and public buildings. This significant changes had urged government to shift from traditional method to IBS in order to greatly reduce time and towards more

Many small contractors are reluctant to adopt IBS system and prefer to continue using the conventional method of construction. This is due to poor financial holdup and are not able to set up their own manufacturing plants as it involves very intensive capital investment. In this case, financial matters become the main obstacle for small contractors to move forward with the IBS system (Rahman & Omar, 2006). Further, the incentives for IBS are not sufficient. IBS adoption requires more pull and push factors from the government. Due to the small profit margin, the alteration from conventional to IBS was not feasible, unless, more attractive incentive systems and assistances which can lure the conventionalist to IBS are in place (M. I. Din et al., 2007).In the viewpoint of components’ manufacture, IBS construction requires high initial investment capital for pre-casters to buy new machinery, mould, importing foreign technology and wages of skilled workers for installation process (IBS Steering Committee, 2006) (Thanoon et al. 2003) (M. I. Din et al., 2007).

Human beings have long been using the activity of building construction. Take the Arabian region for example, the pyramids in Egypt are one of the most shocking and astonishing wonders in the world. Pyramids were built using a well-organized building system which nobody still seems to know, yet everyone recognizes and admits that it is so well built that it lasted for over 2000 years. Humans for ages have been building shelters and buildings using different types of building systems. For centuries, the traditional building system has been used for almost all types of buildings. The mechanized building system was later introduced and adopted in many developing countries. Nowadays, countries are tending to lean into a far more developed system due to the many advantages it offers; that building system is the industrialized building system. But what exactly differentiates the industrialized building system from the other two systems and what advantages does it offer? This paper will briefly introduce the traditional and mechanized building systems to compare them later with the industrialized building construction system and show the reasoning behind countries adapting this system.
