“…BIM technology is a groundbreaking approach and improves the effectiveness of the process. It also sustains quality control, minimizes the time spent, and aims to avoid budget excess while constructing new buildings [16,34,35]. It is possible to employ diversified approaches and software to model structures within the scope of BIM.…”

“…As-Built 2022 software potentially enables the design of semi-automatic objects throughout the object construction process, and the program may also localize the position of the window or door objects. However, since the details of the building are unique to this structure and do not contain the object characteristics saved in the library, a window or door object could not be created automatically [35]. Therefore, this study utilized a manual method while designing the building-specific object details.…”

Integrating building information modeling (BIM) technology into historical and cultural heritage structures has resulted in historic building information modeling (H-BIM), an effective method for managing and documenting invaluable historical artifacts. H-BIM has the potential to aid with the design, restoration, and maintenance activities of historical buildings by properly integrating parametric data and deliberately assessing semantic information, thus progressing the 3D model’s performance. H-BIM also aims to conduct cultural heritage (CH) studies in a systematic manner by combining 3D modeling techniques and information management. The first step in this process is to conduct a suitable geomatic survey to build accurate 3D models. The most efficient modeling method is to employ 3D point cloud data that are acquired using the terrestrial laser scanning method. This study proposes a manual modeling strategy for urban historical buildings that falls within the scope of the H-BIM methodology. The proposed modeling strategy follows a workflow that inserts point cloud data into the BIM environment in order to create a 3D urban cultural heritage model using ontologies applied with the H-BIM methodology. With this objective in mind, the H-BIM model development platform Revit was used to model the object elements of the inheritance structure in 3D and save them in the BIM library. It is very important to model building elements separately in 3D modeling studies. The resulting BIM product sheds light on fundamental data for the future planning, design, operation, and maintenance processes of the building. Users can obtain data suitable for H-BIM by adding graphical and non-graphical data.

As the industry transitions towards incorporating BIM in construction projects, adequately qualified students and specialists are essential to this transition. It became apparent that construction management programs required integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) into the curriculum. By bringing Virtual Reality (VR) technology to BIM, VR-BIM would transform the architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, and three-dimensional (3D) immersive learning can be a valuable platform to enhance students' ability to recognize a variety of building principles. The study carries out a methodology for implementing the VR-BIM in the construction management undergraduate program. Based on the previous literature review, in-depth analysis of the program, and accreditation requirements, VR-BIM will be implemented throughout the curriculum by combining stand-alone class and integration in the existing courses method. The challenges that may face the program planning to implement VR-BIM are discussed, and few solutions are proposed. The lab classroom layout appropriate for the applications is designed to be adjusted for several layouts to accommodate all learning styles and objectives. A comparison between different Head-Mounted Display (HMD) headsets is carried out to choose the appropriate equipment for the lab.

“…At Brigham Young University, students learned how to use Autodesk Revit products and Sketch-up to complete course work [6] . In a recent study, procedures of using both Autodesk Revit and Vico Virtual Construction Software Suite [7] to fulfill specific body of knowledge (BOK) for the ConE education were presented [8] .…”

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been used by various construction engineering (ConE) programs to fulfill the Body of Knowledge (BOK) requirements, such as cost estimating, construction scheduling and control, project administration, and contract documents. Currently a number of BIM software packages are available to ConE educators. However, guidance to select an appropriate BIM software and an understanding of how this software can be used to instruct aforementioned requirements are minimal to nonexistent. This paper seeks to address these challenges by developing a BIM model using Autodesk Revit. Then 4D simulations and clash detection are performed. How to conduct cost estimating, the 5th dimension of the BIM model, is recommended. This paper outlines strengths and limitations of software packages used in this study, and presents a suggested work flow for a future BIM course. By providing a template to integrate BIM into an existing course or implement a standalone BIM course within construction engineering curricula, this paper should have great potential to directly benefit ConE educators throughout the country.
