“…Moreover, BIM facilitates better collaboration among stakeholders, which can lead to more efficient design and construction processes, further reducing waste [43]. The use of BIM for tracking and monitoring material usage on-site can help identify waste streams and enable more effective segregation and collection of CDRs [44]. This can improve the recycling rates of materials and contribute to a more circular economy in the construction sector.…”

The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, known for its significant resource consumption and waste production, requires a shift to a Circular Economy (CE) to address environmental challenges, focusing on reducing, recycling, and reusing materials to narrow, slow, and close material loops. The impact of CE in the AEC industry is directly associated with the existing buildings’ potential to be a source of raw materials for future construction projects. The waste management process necessitates detailed information on material composition, connections, availability, future uses, and quality. Urban Mining, facilitated by digital technologies and Industry 4.0 solutions, aims to provide answers to the abovementioned questions. This study, focusing on the Italian building sector, utilizes BIM and IFC platforms to establish a standardized procedure aligned with Italian regulations. The procedure encompasses data acquisition, transmission, integration, and application, resulting in practical and trackable measures stored in IFC files. Notably, this procedure is scalable globally. The results of this study are important from a managerial point of view to have a comprehensive and standardized procedure, improving waste management and decreasing the environmental impacts of the construction sector. Moreover, it contributes to enhancing the cost-benefit efficiency of the industry through enhancing circularity.

“…The research tries to overcome the most important limitations during 5D BIM adopting, as lack of skills and resistance to change, and represents a comprehensive approach. In comparison with other scientific papers [38], [40], [44], [45], this article encompasses the BIM implementation strategies and 5D BIM adoption methods as well as points the view of the external observer on the issue. The future research can deal with the development of information exchanges for 5D BIM on the operational level such as requirements for detailed process maps.…”

In order to achieve multiple benefits of building information modelling (BIM) in the construction project, the BIM methodology should not only be implemented in a project-related manner but also in a fully enterprise-related manner. Thereby model-based costing is one of the most important BIM use cases, which can be found in any project stage and is relevant to all project stakeholders. But the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) of the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry in the particular face numerous problems and difficulties in adopting the BIM methodology in their business processes. This research aims to investigate the process of the 5D BIM implementation in small and medium-sized planning, engineering offices, construction companies, and project developers. The main body of the work is based on a review of 24 implementation projects of the model-based costing in SMEs that the authors have carried out as part of their practice as BIM consultants and trainers in Germany. These projects are analysed to develop a concept for a smooth, individually adaptable implementation of 5D BIM in SMEs. The results are summarised in the concept framework for a sustainable 5D BIM implementation approach that illustrate the priority and hierarchy of the main activities in the implementation process. The designed concept can be used by different stakeholders of the AEC industry and provides a solid basis for organisations to make informed decisions in adopting 5D BIM in the body of the organisation structure. Thus, this research is an essential contribution to the knowledge about the enterprise-related implementation of 5D BIM.
