Integration of risk management within the building information modeling (BIM) framework

Abstract

PurposeThis research has been conducted with a view to creating a framework to integrate risk management based on building information modeling (BIM) information.Design/methodology/approachIn this research, all the information related to the construction of a residential project including 3D, 4D and 5D BIM models and the execution and control phases information was collected, and the risk list was determined for each activity accordingly.FindingsThe present study has suggested a framework for risk management in order to optimize project changes.Originality/valueThe lack of integration between 3D, 4D and 5D modeling besides execution information is a fundamental problem in many projects. The gap between these two groups of information will lead to improper management and late decisions, eventually imposing unforeseen delays and cost overruns. Risk management by the means of adopting a new approach has been addressed in recent studies using new methods, such as BIM and its associated technologies, some of which were mentioned in the review of theoretical literature in this research.

The Impact of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the Construction Industry

“…The Building Information Modeling (BIM) concept proposes the virtual construction of a facility prior to its actual physical construction. This is intended to reduce risk, improve security, smooth out kinks, and simulate and evaluate potential repercussions (Moshtaghian & Noorzai, 2022).…”
