Information exchange processes (referred to as transactions) in the AEC/FM (architecture, engineering, construction and facility management) industry are mostly manual and performed on an ad hoc basis. There is a growing trend towards computer-based exchange of information. This allows for more extensive, rapid, and error-free exchange of information, but it requires more formal specifications and agreements to govern these data exchanges. This research focuses on the development of an ontology-supported protocol for formalizing these data exchanges. As part of the development effort, this paper describes a taxonomy of transactions and messages. The knowledge represented in the ontology is evaluated and potential areas of application of the ontology are identified using an industry IT survey.

Abstract. BIM (Building Information Modeling) is increasingly present in a wide range of applications (architecture, engineering, construction, land use planning, utility management, etc.). BIM allows better management of projects through precise planning, communication and collaboration between several stakeholders as well as facilitating the monitoring of project operations. The emergence of Augmented Reality (AR) technology allows the superposition of (2D, 3D) information directly on the physical world, so generating immersive, interactive and enriching experiences for the user. To take advantages of BIM and AR potential in the interaction and the intuitive management in AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operation) projects, we propose a BIM-based AR workflow through an application called "EasyBIM". This latter allows access and interaction with a BIM model through functionalities for measurement, data consultation, collaboration, visualization and integration of information from sensors. The application is developed for mobile platforms (tablet, smartphone), and has as input an IFC file (Industry Foundation Classes). Promising test results show that the developed solution can be easily integrated into a BIM context for several use cases: marketing, collaboration, site monitoring, facility management, etc.

This chapter presents a comprehensive analysis of the current state of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Facility Management (AEC/FM) industry and a re-assessment of its role and potential contribution in the near future, given the apparent slow rate of adoption by the industry. The chapter analyses the readiness of the industry with respect to the (1) tools, (2) processes and (3) people to position BIM adoption in terms of current status and expectations across disciplines. The findings are drawn from an ongoing research project funded by the Australian Cooperative Research Centre for Construction Innovation (CRC-CI) that aims at developing a technological, operational and strategic analysis of adopting BIM in the AEC/FM industry as a collaboration platform.

Abstract This paper aims to show the process of Augmented Reality (AR) development representing existing building interior from a 3D sensor. These days, AR is becoming well known and widely used in various type of areas such as in gaming industry, medical training, and education. Due to its advantages, AR development for building interior is also necessity, specifically to assist people in understanding the scene more, in Architectural, Engineering, Construction / Facility Management (AEC/FM) applications as well as businesses like interior designing and household marketing. With respect to current situation of COVID-19 pandemic that has restricted travelling makes the usage of AR very beneficial and it could assist people to visualize the interior that needs to be visited. With the aid of suitable sensors like 3D sensor, the development of AR representing existing building interior which is usually full of clutter and occlusion could be eased.

Abstract Building Information Modelling (BIM) is the latest software technology used widely by many construction businesses - big and small - particularly within the Architecture Engineering Construction (AEC) sector. Besides being a design and documentation tool, building information models (BIM) provide a platform for enhanced knowledge base collaboration, the potential to manage modification, and therefore the capability to provide information support throughout the lifecycle of an apartment building. A big share of the eastern European construction industries remains excluded from BIM technology and the potential advantages it will hand over to their business, particularly for renovation projects. It requies the involvement of all stakeholders to realize higher-level coordination, productivity, visualization and value efficiencies. The advantages of BIM exploitation for renovation projects are considered in the article. Tendencies in the development of BIM technologies throughout the globe and in eastern European countries on example of Ukraine are shown. Examples of the exploitation of local building information systems in realizing renovation processes are given, and proposals for policymakers in terms of applying BIM technologies in housing renovation activities and facility management are formulated.
