Impact of BIM implementation in engineering projects in Syria

Abstract

Engineering projects are often exposed to problems during their design and implementation, due to the lack of availability and accuracy of sufficient information, the failure to set an accurate timetable and budget, and the lack of cooperation and coordination between team members. Therefore, a technology was found to help solve these problems, which is building information modeling. It is one of the most important developments in the field of engineering in general, and the second generation of model design tools is the result of decades of research and development. Through it, one or more virtual models were created to support the design process through all its stages, and it is a simulation of the reality of the real project. In our research, we will discuss the most important problems that engineers face when working on a project, the importance of applying this technology and the benefits it has on the project and its parties, a simplified explanation of it, its dimensions, the stages that the project goes through, and the most important problems that we face when applying it. Building quantities will be studied in the traditional way and compared with quantities calculated through building information modeling technology.
