“…Since this technique was first introduced 20 years ago, extensive research has been devoted to exploring its capabilities. The first BIM-based 4D simulation was the Activity Level 4D Model (AL4M), which simply matches construction process information with 3D model objects of construction materials [17,52]. The biggest drawback of this model is that it is unable to perform 4D model analyses that include temporary components such as the types of resources and equipment typically needed for construction, or with resource components such as workers, materials, and costs, rendering it unsuitable for safety, quality, and productivity analyses [53].…”

Modular construction methods, where products are manufactured beforehand in a factory and then transported to the site for installation, are becoming increasingly popular for construction projects in many countries as this method facilitates the use of the advanced technologies that support sustainability in building projects. This approach requires dual factory-site process management to be carefully coordinated and the factory module manufacturing process must therefore be managed in a detailed and quantitative manner. However, currently, the limited algorithms available to support this process are based on mathematical methodologies that do not consider the complex mix of equipment, factories, personnel, and materials involved. This paper presents three new building information modeling-based 4D simulation frameworks to manage the three elements-process, quantity, and quality-that determine the productivity of factory module manufacturing. These frameworks leverage the advantages of 4D simulation and provide more precise information than existing conventional documents. By utilizing a 4D model that facilitates the visualization of a wide range of data variables, manufacturers can plan the module manufacturing process in detail and fully understand the material, equipment, and workflow needed to accomplish the manufacturing tasks. Managers can also access information about material quantities for each process and use this information for earned value management, warehousing/storage, fabrication, and assembly planning. By having a 4D view that connects 2D drawing models, manufacturing errors and rework can be minimized and problems such as construction delays, quality lapses, and cost overruns vastly reduced.

“…Building information modeling (BIM) is the latest methodology that has been developed for managing processes, material quantity/costs, and quality [17]. A 4D simulation that connects process information to a 3D model based on parametric information can be used to visualize construction information such as processes and resources.…”

“…Durante el proceso de diseño, en el modelo nD se pueden visualizar errores de procedimiento en la construcción del producto final o elementos que no corresponden con los requisitos del proyecto (en tiempo y forma). Lo anterior, se presenta en específico en el caso de estudio de un puente atirantado (Kim et al, 2011), lo que puede ser extrapolado a todo tipo de proyectos civiles.…”

ResumenEl principal objetivo de esta investigación es presentar evidencia del uso e impacto de modelos nD como herramienta para la dirección de proyectos en la industria de la arquitectura, la ingeniería y la construcción, para lo cual se ha realizado una revisión bibliográfica sobre el tema. La industria de la arquitectura, ingeniería y construcción ha sufrido cambios, innovaciones y avances en pos de optimizar proyectos pertenecientes al rubro. En este contexto, las tecnologías de información se han ido incorporando al desarrollo de este tipo de obras. Sin embargo, se desconoce el uso e impacto real que estas herramientas entregan en cada una de las áreas de conocimiento en la dirección de proyectos. Dentro de los resultados principales se tiene que al implementar estos modelos se produce un impacto directo e indirecto en la gran mayoría de los procesos de dirección de proyectos y con mayor énfasis en las áreas tiempo, costos e clientes. Palabras clave: modelos nD, dirección de proyectos, industria AIC, costos de proyectos Use and Impact of nD Models as a Tool for Project Management in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction Industry AbstractThe main objective of this research is to present evidence on the use and impact of nD models as a tool for project management in the architecture, engineering and construction industry, for which a bibliographic review on the subject has been carried out. The architecture, engineering and construction industry has undergone changes, innovations and advances to optimize projects belonging to the field. In this context, information technologies have been incorporated into the development of this type of works. However, the use and real impact that these tools contribute to each of the areas of knowledge in project management is unknown. Among the main results, the implementation of these models has a direct e indirect impact on the great majority of project management processes, with a greater emphasis on time, cost and stakeholders.

“…The value of BIM information lies not only in 3D visualisation, but, more importantly, in design decision-making, producing high-quality construction documents, predicting performance, cost-estimations, construction planning, and even for facilities operation and management at a later stage (Aslani, Griffis and Chiarelli, 2009;Chan, Li and Skitmore, 2012;Hu, Zhang and Deng, 2008;Kim, Kim, Park and Kim, 2011). Recent research in Hong Kong recommends that the industry hasten the transition from 2D CAD to BIM by exploring how to adopt common BIM standards such as specifying modelling method and the level of detail expected of a 3D BIM (Tse, Wong and Wong, 2005).…”

Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology is a powerful technology but is rather new to Hong Kong. The impacts and adoption of BIM in the context of Hong Kong building and construction industry requires an in depth study in order to provide insights for industry to leverage its power. The aim of this research was therefore to identify barriers that affect the adoption of BIM technology in the Hong Kong building and construction industry. A qualitative analysis was conducted on five professionals and experts in Hong Kong building and construction industry to study the effects of the variables of adoption of Building Information Modelling technology. The research results support the research questions and ISSN 2162-4860 2014 www.macrothink.org/ber 223 also bring contributions to both academia and the professional environments in the body of knowledge in the BIM field about major factors affecting user adoption of BIM software technology in the Hong Kong building and construction industry.
