Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a process by which a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a facility are built, analyzed, documented and assessed virtually, then revised iteratively until the optimal model is documented. The virtual BIM model is not only graphical design but also a virtual database which includes the management data. So the constructio...

It is a general expectancy that in most of the construction and renovation project, the contractor is going to hand over the as-built documents to the owner or the facility management team at the completion of the project. The main challenge for the handover process is to ensure the completeness of the captured building information and the accuracy of it in terms of how well it represents the r...

Sustainable development, which has become the priority study of architectural design, is receiving increasing attention with global climate change. At same time, building industry urgently changing towards intelligent and digitalized tendencies. As a result, Building Information Modeling (BIM) Internet Things (IoT) make crucial contributions to transforming process. However, there little knowle...

An architectural heritage object carries heterogeneous and multi-layered information beyond physical characteristics. It requires an integrated representation of various types of information for understanding and management prior to the decision-making process of conservation. This requirement is a twofold manner consisting of representation and management processes. There exists a variety of a...

Building Information Modeling (BIM) describes the digital and collaborative planning, construction management of buildings by all stakeholders means a 3D building (data) model. This enables complex analyses, simulations optimizations cost, time quality. For these reasons, BIM is becoming increasingly important in industry brings changes along entire “construction value chain”. Such changing unc...

With the rising cost of energy and growing environmental concerns, the demand for sustainable building facilities with minimal environmental impact is increasing. The most effective decisions regarding sustainability in a building facility are made in the early design and preconstruction stages. In this context, Building Information Modeling (BIM) can aid in performing complex building performa...

General contractors usually need to handle subcontractor’s payment requests periodically according to the progress of the construction project. The documents required for payment requests are related to various types of information generated from construction work items. Consequently, construction company needs to spend a lot of efforts to verify and approve the submitted documents in order to ...
