Identifying stakeholders’ roles and relevant project documents for 4D-based collaborative decision making

Abstract

In order to fully understand and efficiently implement 4D BIM models and methods, we need to develop a precise knowledge of which project digital documents should be used, and also how they influence the decision-making process. This article studies the convergence between uses of 4D BIM and digital project documents. We hypothesize that a clear visualization of the construction simulation through a 4D model is a useful source of information and a support for decision-making at collaborative meetings. Through this research we continue to progress towards a new 4D-based collective decision device, thus these elements will contribute to propose 4D BIM as a support for the decisionmaking on AEC projects. Further, the present research will be complemented by results from questionnaires given at a later research stage. The article presents a brief review of BIM context to consider ways of fostering the implementation of all 4D BIM uses (not only visualization), next it introduces a proposition for 4D BIM uses implementation by project development phase, and to conclude it summarizes stakeholders roles and documents relevant to 4D BIM uses.

Methodological review: Socio-cultural analysis criteria for BIM modeling and material passport tracking of agriwaste as a building construction raw material

“…GIS cadasters can be used to track citylevel agriwaste supply chain flows based on product functionality needs, while BIM modeling can enable knowledge exchanges between highly diverse levels of technical expertise. [7][8][9][10][11] Banana peels have been identified in previous studies as having multiple applications as a building material. [12][13][14][15][16][17] Details on the building applications can be found in the section on hyper-local regional planning.…”

“…Online agriwaste Materials Passports and BIM models can be used to facilitate discussions between material designers, consumers, building materials contractors, regulators, and entrepreneurs who are interested in improving the quality, availability, and affordability of building products made from waste banana peels or similar agriwaste. 11 Following are some examples.…”
