BIM technologies: Organizational aspects at the stages of the life cycle of an investment and construction project

Abstract

Using information modeling technologies is an important component of the transition to life cycle management of a capital construction facility. A comprehensive BIM model allows you more accurately predict the final cost of the project and estimate the budget more accurately. BIM enables to make a more complete accounting of materials in comparison with manual calculation. Also, BIM allows clearly adjust the bill of materials when the project changes. BIM helps to identify clashes when updating a project. It also significantly reduces the number of errors or inconsistencies when linking sections of project documentation. However, construction industry experts admit that the problems of design companies associated with the transition to BIM are becoming more relevant. The article is devoted to the analysis of the formation of a comprehensive view of using the information model by stages of the life cycle. By analyzing the practice of implementing the application of information technologies in investment and construction projects, the main clusters of problems have been identified that do not allow construction companies to move to a new level of digitalization have been identified. Possible ways of solving the identified clusters of problems are proposed, and their effectiveness is assessed based on project life cycle management. Taking into account these changes, it will be possible to use information modeling technologies as efficiently as possible at all stages of the life cycle of an investment and construction project.
