“…Based on the survey results, the implementation of PBL with VDC has had a higher impact on developing generic competencies than implementing PBL with BIM [26,[42][43][44]. These higher scores are found in the VDC methodology's theoretical background that the BIM methodology lacks, which is reflected by (1) the stakeholders' integration and collaboration (ICE component) for the planning, analysis, and optimization of the workflow (PPM component), and (2) the use of virtual models (BIM component) to manage project information and represent the final product [9,52]. ICE, BIM, and PPM allowed students to achieve a higher degree of professional development due to the collaborative work required instead of focusing only on learning how to use new software.…”

Learning-centered models, which rely on active methodologies such as Project-Based Learning (PBL), should be adopted in undergraduate programs to potentiate the development of collaboration skills within future industry professionals like civil engineers. Thus, this study reports the implementation of PBL in two successive Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) courses from an undergraduate civil engineering program: 1) VDC I, in which the VDC methodology implementation was applied theoretically in an already-built project, and 2) VDC II, in which the VDC methodology implementation was applied in a currently-under-construction project. The study's objective is to identify students' perceptions of PBL influence on their learning experience, degree of acquisition of generic competencies, and project development under the VDC methodology. To assess the PBL and VDC implementation, a survey was applied to measure students' perceptions of the three mentioned variables. Results show an increase in their perceptions about the benefits of implementing VDC and PBL for the generic competencies acquisition process by more than a third, compared to other studies which implemented Building Information Modelling (BIM) with PBL. This is due to the theoretical background of the VDC methodology in terms of collaboration, processes, and tools. Besides, VDC II students' perceptions of the generic competencies' development process, degree of learning, and project development improved by 6.13%, 7.15%, and 3.44%, respectively, compared to VDC I students' perceptions, which is owed to the natural interaction between students and stakeholders of the projects adopted.

“…Stanford University Center for Integrated Facilities Engineering (CIFE) proved quantified benefits of BIM adoption from 32 major BIM projects. This included up to 80% reduction in time taken to generate a cost estimate, cost estimation accuracy within 3%, savings of up to 10% of the contract value through clash detections, up to 40% elimination of unbudgeted change, up to 7% reduction in project time [19].…”

As property development and information technologies are going rapid in these few decades, information construction becomes necessarily as a management tool. Changes and variations in construction projects are common and inevitable. This paper aims to study potentials of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in managing variations. The research objective is to identify the potentials of BIM in managing variations. Qualitative method was adopted for this research. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the respondents to collect data. Twelve respondents were chosen based on the following criteria: (a) involved in BIM projects and (b) experts with BIM knowledge. The respondents involved in the interviews are BIM software providers, BIM software resellers, BIM consultants, main contractors and government personnel in Malaysia. From the interview findings, the potentials of BIM in managing variations are to reduce the variations due to design-related changes, material-related changes, information discrepancies and construction method. Resolving design-related changes includes better visualisation, design coordination, clash detection, better decision making and minimised uncertainties. Managing material-related changes involves automated quantity taking-off, detailed plan for visualisation and material purchase plan. Reducing information discrepancies involves data digitalisation, communication and collaboration, real-time tracking changes as well as improved on request for information (RFI) process. Minimising variations due to construction method includes simulation, better site management and prefabrication with BIM. This research proves that it is necessary to promote BIM management approach in managing variations.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) has found applications not only in the planning and designing of new buildings but also in project monitoring, record-keeping, and analyses of existing structures. In addition to its primary application, information modelling spreads to other areas, developing solutions for their specific uses. This study engaged a mixed-method literature review according to the extent of the pool of knowledge for two research steps between three concepts—from point cloud to NURBS and then from NURBS to BIM. In the first step, the keywords point cloud and NURBS were analysed using scientometric methods. In the second step, a systematic analysis of the content of works obtained with the keywords NURBS and BIM is presented, extracting problems and proposed solutions for information transfer technology. The results of a quantitative analysis identified major trends, (1) research is distributed in interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary areas and historical (heritage) modelling is the highlighted one, (2) development of technologies for object surveying, and (3) the application of data in different engineering fields, while a qualitative analysis points at problems in (1) model building, (2) interoperability, and (3) automatization. Solutions such as mixed models, multi-layered models, a mix of formats, or bridging elements (semantics, proto-model) are proposed.
