The success of a project often depends on careful control of these aspects. Therefore, this research provides insight into the integration of architecture and MEP in building construction projects and shows how this comprehensive approach can improve efficiency, sustainability, and sustainability as well as overall project outcomes.

Integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) for optimal lifecycle management of complex structures

A fundamental issue in the development and engineering industries is the efficient management of complex structures during their entire lifecycles. Traditional fragmented techniques have been used, and this has led to instances of poor communication and subpar performance, particularly in the context of repair and restoration initiatives. Building information modeling (BIM) emerged as a ground-breaking strategy that offers a digital representation of a building's attributes and facilitates effective collaboration among several stakeholders. The current study examines how BIM impacts complex building management throughout the course of a structure's existence. It focuses on how BIM helps to advance maintenance procedures, environmental initiatives, and project effectiveness. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA), structural equation modeling (SEM), and literature research are the three phases of the study's methodology. A thorough investigation was carried out in Pakistan's Rawalpindi and Islamabad region utilizing a quantitative technique. The poll of 159 participants produced intriguing findings. The process of EFA serves to verify constructs and questions, ensuring their reliability and validity. On the other hand, SEM is used to assess the structural relationships between variables and their impact on BIM based lifecycle management. The findings suggest that the application of BIM is favorably influenced by each phase of a project, namely Design, Construction, Operation and Maintenance, Renovation and Retrofitting, and End-of-Life Decisions. This highlights the need to implement a complete BIM strategy across all stages of a project's lifespan, which may enhance facility management, decrease expenses, and promote sustainability. The results of this study have significant consequences for professionals and politicians, highlighting the crucial need to provide incentives and regulations to promote the use of BIM in building projects.

Use of GIS and BIM for the integration of tunnel design and construction process in conventional tunneling

This paper presents the development of a framework for the parametric design of tunnels using geographic information system (GIS) mapping and building information modelling (BIM). According to the framework, a parametric representation of each system component (e.g., layers of rock mass, size of excavation, topography, fault geometry, primary lining, secondary lining, rock bolts, etc.) can be incorporated in the GIS model with high levels of detail and used for the automatic generation of numerical models for the design of tunnel construction. This parametric evaluation allows the designer to consider several levels of detail for each component, for the efficient design and process optimization in conventional tunneling. Information between parametric analysis and numerical simulations can be freely exchanged with significantly reduced computational effort while results can be exported into BIM. It is anticipated that the proposed framework could lead to a comprehensive, yet efficient analysis of complex conventional tunneling project using parametric evaluations at the early design stages.

The impact of BIM authoring tools on the architectural profession in Jordan

Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies have attracted much research attention, especially in the last fifteen years. The prospects and benefits that BIM promises for all participants in the design, construction and operation of buildings are hopeful and enthusiastic. Nevertheless, the global adoption of BIM has been slow and uneven. A bibliometric analysis shows that BIM research is concentrated in a few centers and performed by a narrow group of specialists. As a result, there are research areas with few or no publications (“blind spots”). One such area is the economics of BIM implementation. Considering the transition to the use of BIM as an investment project, the authors of the article formulate the necessary conditions for BIM implementation to become investment attractive. It is shown that the participation of governmental structures is necessary for a wide transition to digital technologies in the architectural and construction sphere.

Retrofit with the use of BIM applied in educational building in Rio Verde – GO

Abstract: the term "Retrofit" refers to a technique that introduces a new concept of System Modernization and installation, as well as user safety. BIM (Building Information Model) has been gaining popularity due to the incorporation of a three-dimensional information model, which makes the results more compatible, detailed and easy to understand. BIM facilitates the execution of various analyses, reducing construction costs. As a result, the method allows the prediction of possible incompatibility problems of the project. BIM is a tool with a wide range of applications, one of which is retrofit technology, which automates and streamlines processes. Thus, the retrofit was applied in an educational building in the city of Rio Verde, dating from the 80s, performing analyzes through informative models of construction, aiming at improving academic/personal development. For this, aspects such as: acoustic and thermal comfort, sustainability, environment and decrease in energy consumption were analyzed, with good results in the modernization of the building, in addition to reducing energy costs and improvements in the quality of accessibility.

Decoding the dynamics of BIM use practice in construction projects

Over the past two decades, thought leaders positioned Building Information Modeling (BIM) as a driver to change the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. However, instances of unexpected BIM use have surfaced, with projects often shifting from BIM to hybrid or even solely 2D practices midway. What technology use conditions cause these practice-based rejections of BIM use and how these happen have not been fully explored and make BIM cannot fully play its role in a project. To fill this gap, we use structuration theory as a theoretical lens to analyze the interactions between BIM and project teams and explore how three technology use conditions, (interpretive, technological, and institutional), impact the interactions, which finally shape technology use practices. Specifically, a case study method has been selected. The research team attended a project for two years, collected meeting observations, and conducted surveys and interviews to track the emergent and situated BIM use practice in an integrated project setting with technology use conditions that changed over the course of the project. We analyzed how the three technology use conditions impacted the interactions between BIM and project teams in different ways and how these impacted change in different project phases. We conclude that the sustained use of BIM requires the alignment of project organizations with BIM features and alignment with both top-down and bottom-up investment in practice change, which includes motivation for senior management investment in a sustained project team, in individual capability training, and in early planning.

Understanding the perception differences on BIM adoption factors across the professions of AEC industry

Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry lags behind other industries in terms of digitalization and technology adoption. On the other hand, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is seen as an important tool that can enhance AEC industry. However, BIM adoption might not at the desired level taken into the account of perception differences on BIM use benefits across the professions of AEC industry. Studies on the BIM adoption of construction organizations show that one of the most fundamental factors affecting the adoption is BIM users. Although studies in literature generally aim to measure how BIM adoption can be increased in different countries, none of these studies investigated whether there is a perspective difference on BIM use between BIM users according to occupational groups. In this context, this study has an attempt to develop a better understanding of architects and civil engineers’ perspective on BIM adoption factors in AEC industry. In line with the purpose, main factors affecting the BIM adoption in AEC industry were identified. Then, a survey was conducted with the participation of a total of 150 BIM users. Mean score and independent t-test were performed to explore rankings of BIM adoption factors and the perception differences between architects and civil engineers respectively. According to the analysis results, majority of the perception differences on BIM adoption factors heap together under the triggering variables rather than internal and behavioral intention variables.

Penerimaan BIM di Kalangan Kontraktor PKS dalam Industri Pembinaan Malaysia

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a modelling technology that provides construction professionals with digital tools for use in project planning, design, monitoring, and control. The potential advantages of putting BIM into practice are known to the Malaysian government. The Malaysian government has taken a number of steps to promote BIM in the hopes that Malaysian construction industry experts will utilize it extensively. However, significant difficulties are delaying the introduction of BIM in Malaysia. Implementing BIM typically presents difficulties for smaller businesses. Even though there are numerous benefits to utilizing BIM, small and medium-sized construction companies are still cautious to do so in the course of their work. This study examines BIM adoption in Malaysian small and medium-sized construction firms. The present degree of BIM adoption in Malaysia’s construction industry as well as the best tactics to encourage SME contractors in Malaysia’s construction industry to embrace BIM more effectively were the subjects of a questionnaire survey that was conducted. According to the survey’s results, SME contractors are still trailing behind in adopting BIM due to a number of obstacles that stand in the way of its adoption. In order to increase BIM adoption among SME contractors, it is crucial that government agencies successfully promote and encourage BIM use across the whole Malaysian construction sector. The importance of this study is in gathering data on the extent of BIM adoption among SME contractors, which might be utilized as a benchmark and reference for the development of BIM in the Malaysian construction industry.

Augmented Reality-Based BIM Data Compatibility Verification Method for FAB Digital Twin implementation

With the advancement of state-of-the-art technologies, the semiconductor industry plays a key role as an essential component in the manufacture of various electronic products. Since the manufacturing of a semiconductor goes through very sophisticated and complex processes, efficient and accurate work and management are essential in the design, construction, and operation stages of the semiconductor fabrication (FAB) plant. Recently, the combined application of building information modeling (BIM) and augmented reality (AR) technology has gained increased attention in this semiconductor FAB industry as an advanced way to improve work efficiency and accuracy while eliminating other related problems, such as human errors. Despite the perceived benefits of combined use of BIM and AR, many technical problems still exist when integrating the target test model and the 3D virtual object model using BIM data and existing AR visualization technology, due to the unique characteristics of the FAB sites. To solve these problems, this study proposed an AR-based real-time BIM data compatibility verification method for future FAB digital twin implementation and demonstrated that it could be converted into a system and applied to actual FAB sites. As a result of the development and verification of this system, the proposed AR-based real-time BIM data compatibility verification system enables the accurate fitting of the AR model and actual object through AR tracking and anchoring technology considering the characteristics of FAB sites. After the fitting, the system was able to maintain compatibility, even when the camera moved and the marker moved away from the screen. By expanding the effective distance of compatibility between the AR model and the actual object, it was possible to increase the AR application range between the 3D virtual object model and the test target model and to improve the compatibility.

Contract Conditions and BIM Use Effectiveness to Improve Project Performance

From a technological point of view, a huge potential can be found in building information modeling (BIM) in order to significantly improve the performance of a project. However, the literature review could not provide conclusive results on the impact that contractual practices may have on how effective BIM may result in technological terms, as well as outcomes within a project itself. The aim of this research is to determine the impact contractual conditions have on the link between BIM use effectiveness and the performance of a project. A self-administered survey was distributed to project design managers within architecture, engineering and construction engineering (AEC) firms. Using the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method, 92 answers were analyzed, finding contractual conditions to be mediating. These results show that appropriate conditions set in a contract with regard to handling BIM technology have a positive impact on the performance and outcomes of a project. The results, however, are only based on Spanish companies, meaning they may not necessarily be applied in global terms due to the cultural differences there may be within countries and continents, which should also be taken into account in the construction phase. Senior managers and policymakers could greatly benefit from the abovementioned findings with regard to improving contractual conditions in project design management in a BIM context, helping remove any source of conflict. It has been suggested by researchers that a gap has been found in BIM contractual practices literature, affecting not only BIM implementation but also project performance, thereby contributing to an improvement in BIM practices in construction contexts.

BIM, as a digital process for sustainable Architecture

The Building Information Modeling (BIM), has become an important issue for the development of construction sector all over the world. States are implementing policies to accelerate the spread of uses and practices. The BIM is identified as a digital process, used to perform the collaboration during the life cycle of a project. According to BIM Fundamentals the 6D dimension is recognized as the sustainable process with an impact on environment and economics study.[1]
 The aim of this paper is to highlight the importance of introducing the digital tool for architecture design at multiple levels to offer a better way to manage projects.
 Nowadays, BIM offers the opportunity for all construction’s professionals: Architects, Engineers and Constructors, to use it and develop the ability to work more efficiently and effectively.
 The question is how can we enlarge and generalize the use of BIM in order to have a sustainable architecture?
 Should we only focus on introducing the process at the university level? Or should we consider also the importance of policies and implementation strategy?
 Analyzing case studies from all over the world and in particular the leading country in using BIM such as UK, Netherland, France and others, will direct us to understand the best way to implement BIM. The comparison with arid and semi-Arid[2] states can show us the best way to adopt it in this context.
 The university seems to be a part of the triad that should include also the mandatory of using BIM for public projects, and the need to state employee training.

Measuring the value and cost of BIM use—an empirical lesson learned from Taiwan’s social housing projects

This paper presents a novel approach for measuring the cost requirements and related values for building information modeling (BIM) adoption using the adaptive analytic hierarchy process approach. The proposed approach considers the importance of each BIM use item in relation to its cost, allowing for prioritization of BIM uses based on their relative value while considering prerequisite relationships and budgetary constraints. The effectiveness of the approach was demonstrated through empirical validation involving a survey of 50 construction industry professionals, and two BIM use prioritization methods (project objective- oriented and value- oriented) were recommended for decision-making under budget constraints. The lessons learned from the empirical case study include the importance of Government’s role and the industrial standards in evaluating cost-benefit and promoting for BIM adoption, the different contributions of BIM uses across project phases, and the diverse perceptions of BIM cost requirements among different participants. These lessons are invaluable for countries planning BIM implementation. This paper also demonstrates the development and empirical validation of a novel approach for BIM use adoption under limited budgets, which can assist decision-makers in selecting appropriate BIM use items and estimating their associated costs.

BIM Impact on Construction Project Time Using System Dynamics in Saudi Arabia’s Construction

Construction delays are a prevalent issue worldwide, and Saudi Arabia is just a short distance from this experience. Although the Saudi construction industry was booming due to Vision 2030, major delays were recorded in numerous construction projects, resulting in extra costs and schedule overruns. Studies on Building Information Modeling (BIM) have increased recently due to their crucial role in managing construction projects. However, more efforts need to be made to define the impact value of adopting BIM using advanced techniques such as System Dynamics (SD). It also aims to demonstrate the BIM impacts globally to encourage taking advantage of such a system. Limited papers studied BIM impact in-depth using advanced techniques such as SD. Thus, A questionnaire was distributed to fifty-nine experts to measure the extent of BIM’s influence on the ten factors affecting project delay times discovered in the literature. The statistical analysis results were used to calculate each factor’s relative importance index (RII), compare them to the results obtained without BIM use, and calculate the relative difference for each factor. These relative differences were considered in the modified SD. The modified SD was applied to a case study representing an academic building in the King Saud University campus. The main finding revealed that BIM decreased construction project delays by 14.55%. In addition, this study found that BIM has a maximum influence on poor site management and supervision by contractors, with a reduction percentage of 17.65%, and a minimum influence on lack of contractor experience and managerial skills, with 11.76%. The SD analysis results confirmed that BIM has a significant impact on reducing construction project delays.

A tool based on the industry foundation classes standard for dynamic data collection and automatic generation of building automation control networks

The use of Building Automation and Control Networks (BACN) is becoming increasingly widespread, largely due to the benefits to end-users and energy management companies of controlling the systems installed in buildings. At the same time, the digitalisation of buildings is increasing every day with the adoption of technologies such as Building Information Modelling (BIM), allowing a high level of digital control in all phases of the building life cycle. However, although the use of BIM is spreading to obtain a digital model of the building, it is not very common to include the existing control systems in BIM models. The integration of BACN-to-BIM seems to be the most appropriate process to have all the information of a building, as it would allow to digitalise and connect both the geometric and the logical part, but it is a challenge to be faced in terms of interoperability. This paper shows the BACN2BIM tool, a tool to make it easier for technical users the creation of monitoring networks linked to BIM models of a building, based on Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) standard. The BACN2BIM tool will allow owners and technical users to easily download dynamic monitoring data, real-time data of the measurements obtained from devices installed in their buildings (temperature, humidity, energy consumption, CO2 concentration, etc.) The tool has been tested in a case study and in a real demo case located in Spain, showing a time reduction in updating a BIM model with the devices of an existing monitoring system and in the download of existing monitoring data.
