Abstract
In recent years, Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been attracting increasing research interest for construction project risk management. However, very few studies exist that explore how to manage and visualise risk information within BIM environment. To overcome this gap, this paper introduces a method that establishes an active link between risk data and BIM, and illustrates and tests the proposed linkage approach by using two case studies to gain a practical understanding on the existing technical limitations and future research opportunities. The first case describes the presentation of risk information as visual objects in a 3D BIM of a highway project in Finland. The second case discusses potential of integrating and visualising risk information into 4D BIM of a footbridge in the UK. Results show the proposed linkage approach could facilitate better communication of risks within multi-disciplinary team; understanding of exact locations of risks, and transparency of risk communication and information management.
