Construction information model as a tool to reduce information uncertainty in the operational management of construction

Abstract

The construction of capital construction projects is a complex probabilistic dynamic system subject to numerous external and internal factors. With the complexity, uniqueness of the construction object or constrained conditions for the production of work, the number of such factors increases, as a result, information uncertainty in construction management increases, which leads to a decrease in the effectiveness of the use of traditional organizational and technological models. It is required to search for new and improve existing models. One such model is the construction information model. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the reduction of information uncertainty in the operational management of construction by changing the structural links in the construction management system and the use of a construction information model as a dynamic organizational and technological model. The transition to information modeling technologies requires the main participants in the investment and construction project to change the form of interaction, as well as changes in communication patterns in the structures of individual organizations. For example, the management of construction organizations should continuously manage construction using a building information model. The organizational structure in which the building information model is used positively affects the following aspects of the control system: reduces transaction costs between departments and services; provides high information content; improves the consistency of information between services by analyzing data from a single source; speeds up the decision-making process; increases the stability of the management system, taking into account external and internal factors; enhances organizational reliability. The significance of the presented results for the construction industry is to reduce information uncertainty in the operational management of construction by changing the structural links and information transfer scheme, as well as the continuous collection, storage and analysis of information coming from the construction site into a single construction information model.
