Value Proposition for Enabling Construction Project Innovation by Applying Building Information Modeling

Abstract

Building information modeling (BIM) is evolving as a digital infrastructure model for innovation in the construction field. The innovation-enabling potential of BIM has been highly neglected in the literature. This study explores the innovative potential of BIM, specifically its value in enabling construction innovation (CI). Through reflective research and a literature review, the relationship between BIM and CI is redefined, BIM-CI’s value spectrum and underlying mechanisms are mapped and their required resources and activities are illustrated. The results indicate that different BIM applications provide various proinnovation environments wherein CI may flourish. Extra attention should be paid to BIM-enabled systematic collaborative innovation and digital innovation ecosystems with BIM as the core infrastructure that integrates the physical space with cyberspace to accelerate radical innovation. This study extends BIM management research by considering digital innovation and providing a new perspective for CI management theory and practice. The results will provide academics with a solid point of departure for developing relevant research and serve as a reference for practitioners who intend to utilize BIM for efficient innovation in construction projects.

Integrating Leading-Edge Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and Big Data Technologies for Smart and Sustainable Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) Industry: Challenges and Future Directions

“…Known as Construction 4.0, the current AEC landscape is witnessing a convergence of digital innovations, shaping smart and sustainable construction practices (Sawhney et al, 2020;Forcael et al, 2020;Perrier et al, 2020). Additionally, the shift towards Construction 5.0 and Society 5.0 highlights the importance of societal well-being, advocating for a holistic approach that combines technological advancements with human-centric development (Yitmen et al, 2023;Marinelli, 2023;Chen et al, 2022;Musarat et al, 2023;Liu et al, 2022). In the pursuit of smart and sustainable construction, this study highlights the crucial role of data-driven technologies, particularly IoT, computing models, and big data solutions.…”

“…This data-driven approach ensures that buildings are energy-efficient, water-saving, and provide a healthy environment for occupants. Furthermore, Construction 5.0 promotes the use of renewable energy sources such as solar power and wind energy in construction projects (Chen et al, 2022;Liu et al, 2022). Smart grids and energy management systems optimize the utilization of renewable energy, ensuring a sustainable power supply for construction sites and completed buildings alike.…”

“…These advancements are not isolated but are integral components of Society 5.0, a visionary concept that places human well-being at the center of technological innovation. The evolution from Construction 4.0 to Construction 5.0 and its integration into Society 5.0 exemplify the potential of data-driven technologies in shaping a better future (Marinelli, 2023;Liu et al, 2022). By addressing challenges related to data privacy, workforce training, and financial accessibility, society can harness the full benefits of these innovations.…”

Exploring the Application of BIM Technology in the Whole Process of Construction Cost Management with Computational Intelligence

“…However, there are still a few cases of BIM being used in construction projects in China, but research on BIM has already started. Some universities have set up BIM research groups to research BIM theory, BIM software, and BIM applications [31]. e research and development of BIM and the use of BIM technology to build an information platform to facilitate the efficient implementation of the whole process of construction project cost management will be a key focus of future research and development in the field of construction project costing in China.…”
