Abstract Digitalisation is the key to efficiency in the road construction Industry. Building Information Management (BIM), being the main developments in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) Industry, offers a technology as well as processes to bring traditional design and construction practices to the digital era. Estonian Road Administration started the process of BIM implementation to the Estonian road Industry in 2017, when the first planning of pilot projects began. Today, the utilisation of BIM is set as a strategic goal for Estonian Transport Administration (formerly Estonian Road Administration) and a structured approach has been developed in order to overcome such a complex shift in the ways, how road information is being managed in the whole life cycle of a road. Development of principles of data movement, setting technical guidelines and requirements, managing legal issues and communication within the organisation, as well as outside, training of personnel are all aspects that need to be taken into consideration. Successful adaption also needs good communication with the Industry, which is mainly done with Estonian Digital Construction Cluster – a collaboration which brings together the main stakeholders in the sector. In a few years time most of the main sections of the road life cycle will hopefully utilise BIM successfully in Estonia, but the key lies within a well developed and excecuted implementation. The paper describes the development of such a implementation plan and also brings out the main issues and success factors, that are relevant for a successful shift towards digitalisation in the road construction industry.

Czech construction sector is at the initial stages of implementing and assessing Building Information Management (BIM) on pilot projects. Object modeling developed over the last 20 years is seemed as a stable ground for many professionals. 3D data models are basis for further concepts associated with BIM, helping to support Co-ordinated Project Information (CPI) and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD). This paper presents the role of managing knowledge, information and critical success factors (CSF) associated with BIM implementation within the construction industry in the Czech Republic. Determining the CSF in the context of BIM maturity levels should support BIM implementation processes within the construction industry and also within the associated bodies (education, government, technology).

Building information modelling (BIM) has been adopted in the architectural heritage industry. The digital protection method with BIM Technology as the core can introduce the information management workflow into the protection of architectural heritage, which can provide possibility for the complete preservation of all kinds of information related to the architectural heritage, improve the efficiency of protection, and meet the management needs of the whole life cycle of the architectural heritage. This paper is based on digital technology and combined with the characteristics of architectural heritage to create a BIM model of architectural heritage. The Autodesk Revit software, which is commonly used in China, is used as the entry point, and the C# language is used to develop Revit to make up for the shortcomings of traditional architectural heritage protection. At the same time, all kinds of information related to the architectural heritage are completely preserved, improving the efficiency of protection work, and meeting the information management needs in the process of building heritage maintenance and management.

Building Information Modeling begins to be perceived as the concept of "covering all stages of the life cycle of a building". A major flaw in this view is the fact that BIM is not actually perceived by all stakeholders as identical, and there is no single vocabulary, either in the form of a structured lexicon or in purely semantic understanding of many names and concepts used. Based on research findings BIM’s focus on Building Information Management has proven to be a key part of BIM’s success. As a result, it seeks to design a knowledge management system throughout the whole life cycle of the building as well as in the management of knowledge through partial projects. An essential part of BIM framework has identified the need to visualize knowledge and information. Based on other literature searches, ways of identifying knowledge, by deriving knowledge from information from experts, using shared models, are proposed. This derivation is directly driven by ontological identification and knowledge models based on taxonomy have been proposed. It leads to proposal of intelligent environment for team collaboration on projects or programs that probably require a suitable mix of different technology tools.

The existing system of bids evaluation in the construction industry does not bring the clients the certainty if all placed bids comprise real, achievable prices. Especially in the road construction sector, where the earthworks create significant part of the works, comparing e.g. the price of 1 km of roads often gives misleading results. The paper comprises the complete proposal to modify the scope of information provided by offerors in the public procurements (in the construction industry) allowing the clients to determine easily if the contractors have placed the consistent offers i.e. if the bid prices are not too high and if the lowest bid price is not a dumping price. The Conjugated Triangle Method (CTM) of inconsistent bid detection in construction industry is based on the three inter-related parameters: means of production, time of works, on the value of works. Regardless of the offered price it should match the other two parameters.
