Standard Framework

The use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) is becoming more common in the construction process, and the demand for the integrated use of BIM data is expected to continue increasing. BIM is a technology that can maximize various efficiencies by sharing facility information in an integrated manner; however, the information generated in the life cycle of the construction industry is broad, diverse, and complex. Accordingly, because BIM information is difficult to share and is often duplicated, it is not easy to obtain the effects of various BIMs. The solution to this is to create a systematic standard so that one item of information can be used in various ways, and everyone shares and uses it together. To this end, various standards (guides, classification systems, information standards, etc.) are being created; however, the interrelationships between standard elements are complex, so there is confusion and overlap between standards. This paper proposes an information standard framework for BIM to identify a systematic standard and method to effectively develop various guidelines for the standard.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) has become an attention-grabbing topic among researchers and industry players around the world including Malaysia. As the construction industry always plaguing with issues related to massive waste generated from construction and demolition process, encouraging BIM implementation is considered as one of the available technology-based alternatives to encounter these issues. BIM is a type of technology that offers the development of construction project before the real construction process, which allows the identification of any issues earlier, throughout the design and planning phases. Currently, numerous researches have been focusing on the benefits offered by BIM to the construction industry. However, there are still several construction players who lack awareness of BIM's contribution, especially towards sustainability. The purpose of this paper is to explore the awareness of contractors in Malaysia on the contribution of BIM towards sustainability, namely economic, environmental and social. A total of 133 contractors from grade G1 to G7 were involved in a survey. The results revealed that majority of the respondents were aware on BIM contributions towards environmental sustainability, besides other two sustainability pillars, economic and social. Thereby, there is a need to educate and provide realistic information to the construction industry stakeholders, as a process to create a better understanding and wider exposure, and to convince them to implement BIM technology.

The overall adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) has increased considerably in recent years; however, utilization of BIMs post-construction is still seldom explored or documented. Much of this may be due to the fact that there still remains great inconsistency between stakeholders levels of BIM proficiency. In order to achieve a life-cycle use of BIMs, it is critical that the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) industry determine if it is moving closer to achieving a mature BIM standard or if organizationally it is still just grazing the surface of what BIM can do. Based on a survey of a diverse sample of the construction industry, this study evaluates the quality and maturity of BIM implementation across various organizations as well as the quality of BIM execution on current construction projects.

Building Information

Building Information Modeling (from English, Building Information Modeling, BIM) – the use of a general digital representation of an object under construction to facilitate the design, construction and operation processes in order to create a reliable basis for decision making. The Building Information Model (from English, Building Information Models, BIMs) is a set of structured and unstructured information containers (datasets) within a holistic information system, containing the necessary geometric, physical, functional and other characteristics of an object, which are a source for documentation accompanying the life cycle of an object (project documentation, estimates, etc.). The content of the construction information model is identical to the content of the project documentation, expanded with additional data. Within the construction industry, it is the implementation of specific tasks and procedures applied to the processes of entering, processing, creating and transmitting data to ensure the accuracy and integrity of information throughout the entire life cycle of an object, based on the definition of Information Management. This is to guide the implementation of BIM in an organization, ensure that BIM-related goals are achieved, and support the development / delivery of new services and the effectiveness of information modeling. The implementation and development of ВIM technologies requires the creation of communities that will serve as a tool for the promotion and implementation of ВIM technologies. In Ukraine, there is no expert environment on ВIM at the state level, but it is available in business. Therefore, the logical formula for creating a common platform for the promotion of VIM would be to involve representatives of all stakeholders with equal voting rights: the state, business, the public. It is proposed to create a community of UA BIM Task Group for the period necessary for sufficient integration of ВIM into the construction industry (approximately 10-15 years). The organization should consist of three components: membership; expert; secretariat.

Traditional energy analysis in Building Information Modeling (BIM) only accounts for the energy requirements of building operations during a portion of the occupancy phase of the building’s life cycle and as such is unable to quantify the true impact of buildings on the environment. Specifically, the typical energy analysis in BIM does not account for the energy associated with resource formation, recycling, and demolition. Therefore, a comprehensive method is required to analyze the true environmental impact of buildings. Emergy analysis can offer a holistic approach to account for the environmental cost of activities involved in building construction and operation in all its life cycle phases from resource formation to demolition. As such, the integration of emergy analysis with BIM can result in the development of a holistic sustainability performance tool. Therefore, this study aimed at developing a comprehensive framework for the integration of emergy analysis with existing Building Information Modeling tools. The proposed framework was validated using a case study involving a test building element of 8’ × 8’ composite wall. The case study demonstrated the successful integration of emergy analysis with Revit®2021 using the inbuilt features of Revit and external tools such as MS Excel. The framework developed in this study will help in accurately determining the environmental cost of the buildings, which will help in selecting environment-friendly building materials and systems. In addition, the integration of emergy into BIM will allow a comparison of various built environment alternatives enabling designers to make sustainable decisions during the design phase.

Bridge Information Modeling (BrIM) is considered an innovation in bridge engineering and construction industry. This paper presents a methodology for using BrIM as an assisting tool in performing detailed cost estimates. The methodology depends on integrating visualization feature of BrIM with specific attributes of the BrIM model intelligent components. A program developed using C# language is used to extract the visualization conclusions and other components’ attributes to MS Excel spreadsheet. This sheet assists in performing detailed cost estimate, and reviewing the estimate. The paper also presents a methodology for generating cash flow and required payments. This methodology depends on integrating the developed program with 4D feature of BrIM.
