Abstract
The conventional practices being followed in construction industry have lower productivity and lot of delays due to miscommunication and mismanagement between involved parties which are, AECO and investors; which results as loss in economy, time as well as resource wastage. With implementation of 5D BIM, before and during execution phase of construction project, scrupulous management, reduction of the delay in activities as well as wastage of resources; also achieving economy became pragmatic and attainable. This study focuses on the probable of application areas of BIM technology in construction field. Based on few recent research papers, study aims at exploring the various application areas in BIM technology.
Highlights
IntroductionTo understand it in simple words, Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology is where stakeholders in various disciplines collaborate together and work in synchronize with each other in real time to prepare and share the information necessary
This paper explores the importance for project cost management professionals to be fully involved in all phases of the project and to employ the 5th dimension of becoming important phase in the Building Information Modeling (BIM) environment – the '5D Project Cost Manager.' The paper concludes with the findings that it is highly important to be project manager who knows the phenomenon and application of 5D BIM and to be able to take off schedules for the virtual 5D models and living cost plans in real time
It is observed that BIM possess tremendous potential to revolutionize the construction industry in much organized, fast paced, better collaborated, well qualitative output and better managed direction
Summary
To understand it in simple words, BIM technology is where stakeholders in various disciplines collaborate together and work in synchronize with each other in real time to prepare and share the information necessary. This data and information can be utilized to plan, operate and monitor the ongoing project progress. BIM started getting popular during 1990 and since it has only evolved to make projects much more standardized. This study aims at doing literature survey and exploring other application of BIM
