“…The BIM parametric design and its visualization can be achieved. Also, virtual construction and construction schedule management of BIM is able to be practiced successfully [10]. In the study of the BIM design and construction, how to coordinate the design and construction in BIM environment were also studied.…”

Abstract. The rapid development of information technology has brought several innovations to the field of civil engineering. BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology places emphasis on information integration and the establishment of a database. It also aims to realize the building life-cycle management. BIM technology is exerting a significant and profound impact on the design, construction, management, operation, and maintenance of building projects. In this study, the value of BIM in construction projects was analyzed, and the significant meaning of this study was elaborated. BIM standards and the data standard of IFC were discussed, and the important concepts of 4D-BIM and 5D-BIM were also presented. The key technologies like parameterization, visualization, geographic information system, building life cycle management, and clouding computing were analyzed. Furthermore, the mechanical behaviour of the building was analyzed, and the value of BIM in construction was expounded. Particularly, the application of BIM in bidding, BIM virtual construction, clash detection, and refined calculation about resources as well as materials were analyzed in this paper. Also, the construction dynamical management system of 4D-BIM was discussed. Finally, the coordination, which acts as an important issue between the BIM design and BIM construction, were analyzed comprehensively.Keywords: BIM technology; design construction; simulation; schedule; building. IntroductionThe 21st century marks the advancement of technology, the era of rapid development of information technology, and the building information modeling (BIM, Building Information Modeling). As a building project in the field of a new technology, BIM is not only the product of the birth of the information age. However, it has brought about social productivity and has met urgent developmental needs. Through external factors such as Locations and local design conditions, BIM will form the architectural design of intelligent 2D and 3D object, which is connected to a virtual building in a database. Therefore, the database is associated with certain buildings, single, integrated, and covers all building information source [1].BIM's integrated data information covers all phases of the building lifecycle, including the planning phase, design phase, construction phase, operation and maintenance phase, predictive control stages, etc. [2; 3]. BIM is often likened to the DNA of a building [4]. Throughout the design process, especially in the early architectural design, more detailed data information has been included, since the construction industry has become a growing trend [5].BIM is an important architectural design process, which is used to meet the requirement of the data. This requirement is the building information model to show a unified description of a building. Consequently, BIM can greatly enhance the design, construction, and building lifecycle of information flow in various stages. Thus, these include the building lifecycle, architects, equipment engineers, ...

“…They defined Building Information Modelling (BIM) as "a digital representation of the building process to facilitate exchange and interoperability of information in digital format" [19]. BIM can be considered as simulating a building project from the initiation stage to demolition and providing a 3D virtual environment with a workflow of integrated information through a software package [20] [21]. Integrating the deliverables in a model, BIM can predict and decrease problems and errors.…”

“…One of the main contributions of BIM to sustainable construction, which also is one of its general uses, is its direct role in economic dimension by the process of cost estimating and risk management [21]. Estimating the costs of the project and required resources can be divided into some stages to predict and calculate the costs of each phase [24].…”

Global concerns toward environmental issues have induced growing demand for new approaches in the construction because of its considerable impact on the environment and use of natural resources. Through using construction sustainability tools, methods and techniques, a greener design can be applied during various building phases. In this connection, it is argued that the analytical and integrated models applied by Building Information Modelling (BIM) may also facilitate this process to be performed more efficiently. BIM and construction sustainability are quite different initiatives, but both have received much attention in recent years in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. A rigorous analysis of the interactions between them implies that a synergy exists which, if properly it is understood that can be helpful to reduce the environmental impacts of the AEC industry. A BIM-based design model can contribute to sustainability through its three main dimensions which are environmental, economic and social. In this paper, by reviewing the existing literature on BIM and construction sustainability and using a matrix to analyze construction sustainability dimensions and BIM functionalities a number of interactions have been discussed. It can be concluded that despite there are many improvements in implementation of BIM in environmental and economic aspects of sustainability, its potential impact on social dimension has not been explicitly explored hence further studies need to be undertaken in this area.

“…A civil-engineering digital-model [and related BIM execution-plans and quality-assuranceprocedures put in-place instead of traditional/manual methods (Hartmann, 2012)] has potential to reduce hard-copy set-out point information, reduce road cross-section illustrations, and allow for smaller-scale simplification of longitudinal-sections' drawings (Li,2009;Li, 2012). Thus quantity of information provided in drawing-form can be reduced, but only if it is known from the outset that: native format digital versions of design drawings and models used to produce them are to be provided universally to the principal and contractors/subcontractors; and, that the parties receiving the files are capable of using information in that format (in other words, are able to use software capable of reading all supplied data).…”

ABSTRACT:Purpose The use of digital-models to communicate civil-engineering design continues to generate debate; this pilot-work reviews technology uptake towards data repurposing and assesses digital (versus traditional) design-preparation timelines and fees for infrastructure. Design/methodology/approachExtending (building-information-modelling) literature, distribution-impact is investigated across: quality-management, technical-applications and contractual-liability. Project casestudy scenarios were developed and validated with resultant modelling-application timeline/fees examined, in conjunction with qualitative semi-structured interviews with eleven prominent stakeholder companies. FindingsResults generated to explore digital-model data-distribution/usage identify: an eight-percent time/efficiency improvement at the design-phase, and a noteworthy cost-saving of 0.7% overall. Fragmented opinion regarding modelling utilisation exists across supply-chains, with concerns over liability, quality-management and, the lack of Australian-Standard contractclause(s) dealing directly with digital-model document hierarchy/clarification/reuse. Research limitations/implications; practical implications; social implicationsRepresenting a small-scale/snapshot industrial-study, findings suggest that (modeldistribution) must emphasise checking-procedures within quality-systems and, seek precedence clarification for dimensioned documentation. Similarly, training in specific fileformatting (digital-model-addenda) techniques, CAD-file/hard-copy continuity, and digitalvisualization software, can better regulate model dissemination/reuse. Time/cost savings through digital-model data-distribution in civil-engineering contracts are available to enhance provision of society's infrastructure. Originality/valueThis work extends knowledge of 3D-model distribution for roads/earthworks/drainage, and presents empirical evidence that (alongside appropriate consideration of general-conditionsof-contract and specific training to address revision-document continuity), industry may achieve tangible benefits from digital-model data as a means to communicate civilengineering design.
