Building Information Modeling And Construction Industry

Over the past few years, the construction industry has been changing dramatically. One of the most important stages in the construction management and business management is the planning phase. They share similar two main levels of planning which are the strategic and operational planning. However, business management planning to decide in advance what should be done, and how to do it, when you do and you are done. On the other hand, Construction management strategic planning is to deal with selection on a high level of overall objective of the project, including the scope, procurement methods, schedules and financing options but the planning of operations, including the

In his paper, the author explains us how the technology advancement is taking place, how 2D modelling started initially, how it led to 3D modelling and now how building information modelling techniques are being linked to 3D modelling. BIM is not just about modelling, but it also includes project planning, design and construction. He clearly explains what BIM is in the form of a flow chart. Where he says that B in BIM stands for Residential, commercial, healthcare, institutional, sports and entertainment, I in BIM stands for Spatial, element, systems, quantities, schedule, operations and M in BIM stands for site, architectural, structural, MEP systems, sustainability and management. This all phases of the program are a continuous chain where programming, design, pre construction, construction, operations, and demolition are done. This research also supports that the concept of building information modelling is not only useful for the building’s geometric modelling, but also it can assist in the management of construction projects. In this research, the author has collected information from 35 construction projects that have already utilized BIM. The most common result that was observed was the cost reduction. For some people, BIM is a software application, where as for others, it is a process for designing and documenting

Many people around the entire world do not possess the knowledge of the different types of constructions and if there is a specific reason this construction are made in certain way or area of the world. Construction is more complex than just building an infrastructure or a facility. It takes planning, land property inspection, design, in numerous occasion financing and the process ends once the project is built and ready for use.

(“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

This aim of the research is to identify and examine about barrier to implement the industrialised building system in Malaysia. The purpose for this part is to finish up all the discovering got from the study. All the three objectives set for the research have been effectively attained and the result is abridged based on the objectives of the research as follows

BIM represents a migration in the architectural design field from two dimensions to three dimensions by creating intelligent, multi-dimensional building models. (Reddy, 2007). Through BIM, designers can enhance their computer projections to incorporate actual materials. BIM shows a building at every aspect of its development and illustrates construction, design and materials in detail. The embedding capacities of BIM make it a dynamic platform and allow multiple groups in different locations to work on projects. (Thomson and Miner, 2007)

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 future of our industry lies in how best we can integrate and communicate all our work with various stakeholders to manage a project efficiently. This has given rise to an area called construction informatics where a significant amount of research is being done. The area deals with a range of subjects from integration to interoperability and from knowledge mining to strategic management. This area came into existence from two fields. The first was the use of computers to design and carry out time and cost calculations. The other was for computers to categorize and store essential information. Currently, integration, interoperability, innovation along with strategic management of Information and Communication Technologies are the key areas of research of construction informatics (Isikdag 2009).

For centuries, construction industry played one of the most significant roles in a country. It indicates the types of civilization in each society. It helps people to live a qualitative life in homes and other living places. All that qualitative living begins with the construction workers. These workers are not only involved in ditch digging, roofing and other labor jobs, but also has many technical areas like structural engineering, electrical work, watering, environment and other design skills. Besides the work, the time frame and cost of materials are also important parts of completion and quality of a construction job. Their large involvement in a construction project sometimes, causes problems during construction. The

Nowadays, the growth of construction industry’s productivity is slow, unlike the manufacturing sector, where standardization of components, mechanisation and innovation greatly enhance the rate of production, that is because of the procedure of construction industry is more complicate and always take longer time than manufacturing sector. Therefore, the supply to meet the needs and demand of housing and infrastructure is a very slow process.

After 16th century, the traditional European architects began professionalized work dividing with the raising of requirement of civil engineering technology. It divided into design and construction and a part of the architect into teaching skill servicing for society and providing technical advice for the owners to solve problems, moreover, they are hired to supervise and manage of construction so that construction supervision

The introduction of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and tools into the construction industry made a rapid revolution in this field. BIM can bring a complete digital representation of a building with a fully analyzed data. Introduction of this models are very much helpful in construction of the real building. By creating a BIM

As the development projects in medium and large scale chartered with complexity of architectural and engineering design, quantity estimating, process scheduling, and information management; concurrently the traditional methods of construction management cannot solve the clash which mentioned above may due to the various kinds of interrupting factors. Meanwhile, D. Bryde et al., (2012) has stated that all level development projects have the nature of fragmentation. ‘All generated information by different parties is often not retained and used on future projects.’ More importantly, there is an ever-growing generic literature emphasizing the entire tenor of ‘big data’ technology placed on the construction cost phase.
