Abstract
Building Information Modelling (BIM) proves to be the most urgent trend in construction for the last years. Still the major part of this issue is dedicated only to the first stages of building lifecycle: design and construction. This article goal is to provide a critical overview on recent achievements in BIM application for the different steps of building lifecycle as well as ongoing digitalization of facility management. The paper explores the importance of applying mathematical modelling and multicriteria analysis such as Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and fuzzy logic in management of built environment and provides recent examples of such applications consequently exploring its potential. Method of analysis in this article is horizontal analysis of publication activity in related research topic. Different levels of digital built environment are considered: from building (BIM) to the whole city (GIS). The result of the research reveal that emergence of scan-to-BIM technology brings benefits not only for the buildings which are designed with BIM models (current situation in the market) but for the buildings which are already built (as-built BIM).
Highlights
Building Information Modelling is a phenomena that has been quickly reshaping the construction sector for the last years [1]
The graph above demonstrates that among those articles which discover the topics of site selection in geoinformation system environment the share of research which use multicriteria analysis is growing permanently and by the current year almost half of the GIS-site-selection papers inevitably discuss multicriteria decision making
Modern digitalization of built environment is currently taking place among several layers starting with the elements of the building in building information modelling (BIM) environment and finishing with the whole city or regional territories in geoinformation system (GIS) environment while the research interest in the intersection of this two fields of study keeps on growing
Summary
Building Information Modelling is a phenomena that has been quickly reshaping the construction sector for the last years [1]. Multicriteria analysis techniques such as analytical hierarchy process theory and fuzzy logic are used in GIS studies and on a building level. The researchers highlight following areas of civil engineering: design of sustainable and energy efficient buildings, building information modelling, and assurance of security and safety of built property
