Collaborative BIM-Based Construction Coordination Progress Modeling Using Extended Collaborative Process Modeling (exCPM)

Abstract

Agile project management pursues repetitive and continuous management through an empirical process control method considering the complexity of the project. This study aimed to propose a collaborative Building Information Modeling (BIM)-based work process, focusing on construction coordination tasks among participants during the construction phase of a project. The theoretical framework chosen for this endeavor was the Scrum framework, selected after analyzing previous research to align with the specific characteristics of construction coordination. Using the Scrum framework as a foundation, the study employed the exCPM methodology to model the collaborative BIM-based construction coordination progress. To validate the model, it underwent a transformation into a Petri-Nets model through the marked graph building block (MGBB) along with established rules for model conversion. The converted model was then subjected to validation through reachability tree analysis. The findings of this study hold applicability to diverse collaboration processes that leverage BIM in the construction industry.

Construction Safety Risk Assessment of High-Pile Wharf: A Case Study in China

“…Based on the platform constructed by BIM, the structural components and external environments in construction can be extracted and shared in time [20,21]. Moreover, the BIM model supports the data establishment, sharing and management of both static structural components as well as external environments [22]. Instead of the traditional drawings supplied by CAD, a virtual construction environment that represents the real situation of the construction site can be established based on the BIM platform [23][24][25].…”
