BIM-enabled Modular and Industrialized Construction in China

Organizational Divisions in BIM-Enabled Commercial Construction

Proponents claim that the adoption of building information modeling BIM will lead to greater efficiencies through increased collaboration. In this paper, we present research that examines the use of BIM technologies for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire life safety systems often referred to as MEP coordination and how the introduction of BIM influences collaboration and communication. ...

How Leadership Overcomes Organizational Divisions in Bim- Enabled Commerical Construction

Proponents of Building Information Modeling (or BIM) often claim that the adoption of these technologies will lead to greater efficiencies through increased collaboration. In this paper, we present findings from a research project that explores the use of BIM technologies for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire life safety (known often collectively as MEP) systems coordination and the im...

A Framework for BIM-enabled Life-cycle Information Management of Construction Project

BIM has been widely used in project management, but on the whole the applications have been scattered and the BIM models have not been deployed throughout the whole project life-cycle. Each participant builds their own BIM, so there is a major problem in how to integrate these dynamic and fragmented data together. In order to solve this problem, this paper focuses on BIMbased life-cycle informa...

3D Capture Techniques for BIM Enabled LCM

As a special kind of Product Life cyle Management (PLM), Building Life cycle Management (BLM) is a centric activity for facility owners and managers. This fact motivates the adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) approaches as a way to achieve smart BLM strategies for cost reduction, facility knowledge management, and project synchronization among the different stakeholders. Unfortunat...
