Abstract
BIM has become an intrinsic tool in managing building projects due to its ability to comprehensively represent information in digital form. However, using BIM as an information exchange tool is still in its infancy, particularly with regard to construction progress monitoring beyond time schedule information. The current study focuses on the development of an automated progress monitoring framework based on an IFC-based BIM and provides an extensive methodology based on a structured task-based approach in accordance with the latest IFC4.x schema in four stages. The first stage creates the appropriate IFC entities, which are then enriched with their values in the second stage. The third stage integrates the actual progress information, which requires regular updating from the construction site. Finally, the fourth stage enables the retrieval of progress information, which is then reported in a user-friendly format along with the estimation of additional progress indicators. The proposed method successfully integrated the progress information into their IFC-based BIM models, demonstrating its practical use for monitoring construction progress. In the end, a web-based application was also developed that made use of progress information stored within the standardized hierarchy of the updated IFC-based BIM to facilitate efficient reporting.
