Evaluation Of Efficiency And Effectiveness Of Building Information Modeling

It is clear to see that throughout the project the tasks and progress were monitored very closely. The project is heavily dependent on the resources provided by its shareholders and in turn they rely on regular updates to reassure them on their investment. In the construction and building industry the methods and application of project management tools are very reliable and well tested. Therefore, it could benefit the project if the it was managed with detailed and defined practises and also follow standards set and agreed upon on a international level.

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

Project management has come a long way since its modern introduction to construction projects in the late 1950s. Now, it is an established discipline which executively manages the full development process, from the client’s idea to funding coordination and acquirement of planning and statutory controls approval, sustainability, design delivery, through to the selection and procurement of the project team, construction, commissioning, handover, review, to facilities management

1. Literature review 3.1 Definition of project management and Project management processes. i. Definition of project management: The PMI (project management institute) defines project management as “the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to project activities to meet or exceed stakeholders’ needs and expectations from a project”. The APM (association for project management) defines project management as “the most efficient way of introducing a change” achieved by 1.) Defining what has to be accomplished in terms of time, cost and various technical quality performance parameters. 2.) Developing a plan to achieve these and then working the plan, ensuring that progress is maintained in line with these objectives. 3.) Using appropriate project management techniques and tools to plan, monitor and maintain progress. 4.) Employing skilled people in project management including a project manager as the single point of responsibility for introducing a change and accountable for its successful accomplishment. The construction industry is the largest industry on earth. It will be more of any service than a manufacturing industry. Growth of this industry in reality is the indicator with the economic conditions of any country.

This essay aims to offer an outline of the main points and aspects of the scope and importance of Building Information Modelling in three key areas in construction projects:

This research will establish how BIM will affect a construction manager’s role with a project whilst analysis of how both organisational and employee performances can be improved with the use.

ECONOMIC BENEFITS Ultimately, BIM’s ability to integrate processes and ensure accurate, timely and intelligent transfer of information between key project stakeholders lies at the heart of its productivity gains. Many countries have already realised many of these gains, yet the overwhelming majority of organisations using BIM believe it has the potential to offer even greater value in the future. If that proves true, it makes the case for accelerating BIM’s adoption in this country very difficult to ignore.

R2/B “By using BIM, of course is improve the design and a project can be easily monitored and tracking the progress schedule. It could also maximise the resources while minimising errors. It can be used to countercheck whether the building is designed according to standards.”

Before we delve into the role of a Project Manager within a Building Information Model (BIM) project and how, if at all, that role has altered, lets step back and understand how BIM evolved.

1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background to the Study The link between successful project outcomes and project management was recognised by Peters and Waterman (1982, pp. 3-28), more than 40 years ago. In the fast moving 21st Century business environment, project managers must work ever more effectively and accurately, and timely information is essential

Lesson learned 4#: Excellent third party supervising system lead to high quality of the project. The guarantee of nice quality of a project is essential for project management. The project pass rate achieves 100 % and with excellent rate by more than 90 %, which means as a project management specialist

INTRODUCTION Background to the Research BIM is most often confused to be just innovative design software by many people including uninformed stakeholders in the construction industry, it is confoundedly perceived to be improvement to the existing well-known 3D CAD applications. In addition to this confusion, BIM is also wrongly considered to be

ABSTRACT: Building Information Modelling, an introduced effective tool in AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) Industry worldwide, is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics generating dramatically higher quality information, collaboration and communication process augmenting predictability and profitability (Crotty,2012)-P57.BIM has been adopted in the USA(United States of America) and UK(United Kingdom) for last few years to improve their construction sector but in contrast to it, Indian AEC firm is just initializing BIM process in the construction and management field. This paper reviews about the percentage of utilization of Building Information Modelling in India, statistics about the

Introduction The concept of BIM integrates all the activities related to the design, construction and operation into the ICT model developed and implemented within a communication platform. From the point of view of the project management theory and construction practice, the area of interest is integrated risk based on BIM. Negative

ABSTRACT Objective Modern building and designing practices have come a long way away from traditional methodologies. Building Information Modeling (BIM) has emerged onto the forefront as a critical technology in the contemporary building design practice and construction industry (Mandhar, & Mandhar, 2013; Panuwatwanich, et. al, 2013; Abbasnejad, & Moud, 2013; Arnett & Quadrato, 2012). There are however, several gaps observed in its adoption due to gaps between the industry and academia. These gaps will be studied during the course of this research in an exploratory manner with the ultimate objective to aid the adoption of BIM in industry.
