“…The foundation of the BIM concept lies in the creation of a centralized model that consolidates all information related to the building. The term "nD" in BIM refers to any views linked to the virtual building model [62]. The 4D links the construction activities represented in time schedules with 3D models to generate a real-time graphical simulation of construction progress versus time.…”

Integration of 5D Building Information Modeling (BIM) into large rail projects has the potential to significantly enhance cost management and control. Nevertheless, 5D-BIM implementation has encountered difficulties stemming from technical, functional, and governance-related factors. This paper builds a conceptual framework to support financial decision making, enhances project management, and promotes efficient project delivery. The framework encompasses a set of interrelated elements that include project governance, BIM policies and standards, digital platforms, BIM LOD, cost-estimation classification, and continuous improvement. The proposed framework acknowledges the significance of project governance in guiding and organizing the implementation of 5D-BIM. Additionally, BIM policies and standards ensure the adherence to quality standards for the produced BIM models. Digital platforms serve as the basis for multiple users to generate, access, share, and exchange project information. BIM LOD promotes collaboration and coordination among all project stakeholders. Cost-estimation classification aligns the estimation process with the development of project scope and financial decision making. Continuous improvement plays a vital role in optimizing processes, enhancing efficiency, and achieving higher-quality outcomes. Moreover, it fosters stakeholder satisfaction, improves project performance, and nurtures a conducive environment for innovation and learning. The study analyzes the framework utilization in Victorian rail projects and identifies key implementation challenges. The main technical hurdles encountered were the lack of current horizontal infrastructure standards for data exchange and the lack of compatibility with current cost-management standards. Increased project complexity and the absence of clear project governance strategies and processes also posed organizational challenges. A further validation of the framework in real-world rail projects was recommended to achieve the implementation goals.

“…BIM is more than just software, it is a set of data sources and tools that support various disciplines and build a multidimensional virtual environment for the built environment [50]. The nD in BIM represents the number of dimensions linked to the virtual building model [51,52]. Table 1 shows the different characteristics of BIM dimensions.…”

Mega projects delivering rail infrastructure are constantly seeking cost-effective and efficient technologies to sustain the growing population. Building information modeling (BIM) and BIM for cost management (5D-BIM) have shown great potential in the building industry and have been adopted widely. However, 5D-BIM implementation in rail infrastructure is still in its infancy. This paper presents a systematic literature review of 380 publications related to cost overrun, cost management and 5D-BIM for rail infrastructure, including rail projects. The review identified knowledge gaps and synthesized existing research on cost overrun in rail projects, cost estimation models, and the current use of 5D-BIM. The review revealed that there is no current study integrating 5D-BIM into the rail project lifecycle. This paper highlights the importance of integrating 5D-BIM systematically in the rail project life cycle to avoid/minimize cost overrun. The review provides researchers and practitioners with crucial information for deploying 5D-BIM to minimize cost overruns in rail projects.

“…However, this generic definition corresponds to the epitome of information management [17], merging data, processes, tools, and procedures to ensure the ability to decide. BIM allows "to link, store and reuse information in terms of attributes and properties to a specific building component in a three-dimensional computer-generated model enhancing cooperation, collaboration and coordination on-and offsite to improve productivity, effectiveness and efficiency" [30] (p. 136). BIM is a collaborative process supported by technology for information management.…”

Building-as-a-Service: Theoretical Foundations and Conceptual Framework

The provision of data with information management are a significant challenge for the digital developing construction industry. The utilisation of data from a built asset’s planning, design, and construction phases to the operations phase core and to the facility management function of building and integration in supporting core business and support services is frequently limited due to technical obstacles in information management. The paper presents the second of three stages of design science research to propose a conceptual approach for the implementation of the “as-a-service” method for the construction industry, namely “Building-as-a-Service” (BaaS). BaaS involves a shift in the concept of services: users become recipients of services generated by the building, not only services provided in the building. The paper shows the interdependencies between these various concepts and suggests a possible framework for the inclusion of these “as-a-Service” approaches for enabling a Digital Twin based on Building Information Modelling, which is becoming mandatory in several European states. The study gathered the foundational theoretical constructs through a literature review and elucidated them to make the proposed framework feasible. The theoretical foundations comprise Building Information Modelling (BIM), the Digital Twin (DT), the interconnecting technology of smart applications and the practical application in projects. The approach of “Building-as-a-Service” in combination with smart applications can be an approach to making the use of buildings available in a resource-saving way to clients, building owners and users.
