“…BIM is a digital technology that can, as discussed above, improve the efficiency and quality of construction projects [55]. Timo et al found [56] that 3D/4D models have been applied successfully for virtually reviewing facility designs during the design phase and for visually analyzing construction sequencing during the construction phase.…”

Construction supply chain management is a unique and problematic issue within the construction industry due to its inevitable external risks and variations. The resilience capability of a supplier is of significance in supplier selection; a supplier selected in the context of a resilient construction supply chain (RCSC) is referred to in this research as a "resilient construction supplier". This paper proposes a supplier selection framework tailored to effective information integration for supply chain management. The proposed framework works by integrating building information modeling (BIM) and a geographic information system (GIS) in a RCSC. BIM and GIS together provide highly transparent construction material information, enhanced supply chain status visualization, and workable access information for supplier selection. Supplier performance is evaluated via seventeen resilient criteria under a combined methodology consisting of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and grey relational analysis (GRA); AHP and GRA weigh the criteria and rank the suppliers respectively. By varying the weightings given to each criterion, sensitivity analysis was conducted to identify the criteria of resilience which impact the selection priorities of suppliers. An illustrative example is also provided to show the overall process of the proposed framework.

“…In addition to that, five (5) respondents understood BIM as an efficient workflow process in managing project information that involves 3D model. This is similar to the understanding of BIM expressed by several researchers where BIM is defined as a process in managing project information in a more effective and efficient way [10,11,22].…”

Abstract. Building Information Modelling (BIM) concept has expanded widely in many countries for more than a decade with its role of improving current practices in construction projects. However, the understanding of BIM differs among construction players, depending on how construction players utilize the concept in their projects. Therefore, this paper aims to explore the understanding of BIM concept among construction players in the Malaysian construction industry. A literature review on BIM concept and semi-structured interviews with construction players in BIM such as client, civil and structural (C&S) engineer and mechanical and electrical (M&E) engineer, quantity surveyor (QS), contractor, facilities manager and BIM consultant have been conducted in order to achieve this study's the aim. The results show that the understanding of BIM concept among the construction players is limited to BIM as a process and technology. It is important for the construction players to improve their understanding of BIM as it can be used to enhance performance and productivity of construction projects.

“…According to the definition in British standard BS 8536-1:2015 [1], BIM is a "digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. A BIM is a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its lifecycle; defined as existing from earliest conception to demolition".…”

Technical and economic analysis of a construction project carried out using BIM can improve the process of cost-estimating at all stages of design and construction works. More and more designers choose to use BIM within a range of cost estimates; however, in contrast to design software, cost-analysing BIM software is less widespread and used. The following paper presents problems and issues that could be encountered while performing cost estimates and quantity takeoffs applying BIM tools on the example of a model of a road bridge.Keywords: BIM, cost-estimating, cost-analysing Streszczenie Analiza techniczno-ekonomiczna przedsięwzięcia budowlanego wykonywana przy wykorzystaniu technologii BIM może usprawnić proces wyceny na wszystkich etapach projektowania oraz wykonawstwa. Coraz więcej projektantów decyduje się na używanie BIM w zakresie obejmującym także oszacowania kosztowe; w przeciwieństwie jednak do programów do projektowania oprogramowanie do analizy kosztowej jest mniej rozpowszechnione i używane. W artykule przedstawiono na przykładzie wykonanego modelu wiaduktu drogowego problemy i przeszkody, na jakie natrafić może wykonujący kosztorysy i przedmiary stosujący narzędzia BIM.Słowa kluczowe: BIM, kosztorysowanie, analiza kosztowa 72
