Design And Construction

There is a lack of decision-making tools for water efficiency design and construction to maximize project benefits and water conservation. An increasing number of research studies indicate that building information modelling (BIM) can enhance the cooperation, improve work efficiency, and conduct simulation and analysis of sustainability performance in building projects. However, BIM’s potential to enhance water efficiency is yet to be established, such as water gird design optimization, clash detection, combination of BIM with smart appliances and sensors. The research adopted a mixed method approach to investigate the potential impact of BIM on water efficiency in building projects. It involved 50 practitioners from the Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry through a questionnaire survey and the follow-up interviews. The quantitative results of questionnaire data and qualitative results of interviews were used to develop a “BIM-based Water Efficiency (BWe) Framework” which was subsequently validated by five experienced practitioners and researchers in the form of semi-structured interviews. The framework applies BIM to optimize traditional water efficiency measures based on an information database. The geometry, attributes, status information of building components or non-component objects stored in the database greatly improve information integration degree of construction engineering. This study provided a reference for the use of BIM for water conservation in building design and construction.

And Training

Although building information modelling (BIM) has been implemented in building projects in Singapore, barriers such as the duplicate efforts for designers and contractors to create models appear to exist. Thus, BIM imple­mentation needs to be enhanced. The objectives are to identify the critical success factors (CSFs) for enhancing BIM implementation and investigate the interrelationships among these CSFs. 32 success factors were identified through a literature review and a questionnaire survey was conducted. The results indicated that 15 CSFs were identified and grouped into integration and accuracy of models (IAM), commitment and training from the management (CTM), and advantages and support of implementation (ASI) through factor analysis. The results from structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis revealed that CTM resulted in IAM and from ASI, while ASI facilitated IAM. The proposed framework indicating the CSFs and the intergroup relationships provides an in-depth understanding of BIM implementation and can help firms to commit on their part of project-wide BIM adoption and associated advantages. Overseas practitioners may use the identified success factors and follow the method to customise their own CSFs.

Functional Areas

Managing building projects and communication of information between the stakeholders of the projects is getting collaborative and faster, with the availability of Building Information Modelling (BIM) software system. Numerous BIM systems are offered by various software developers. Each one of these systems provides pre-construction, construction, post construction functionalities or all of them. Some are suitable for architects, contractors, engineers, clients or all of them. Therefore there is a need to develop a systematic approach to evaluate the functional suitability of these systems and guidelines to help the project stakeholders to evaluate the BIM software for their need. This paper presents a study of commonly used BIM systems for their functional suitability for Pre-construction, Construction and Post-construction phases of the Building Project. Various functionalities of these three phases are derived. The relevant functional areas in Pre-construction, Construction and Post-construction are identified. A scoring methodology is presented to rate the BIM systems based on these functionalities. This methodology forms the basic guideline for architects/engineers, general contractor, sub-contractors and facility managers to evaluate functional suitability of BIM systems for their respective functions.

It Skills

Building Information Modelling (BIM) has becoming the current trend in the construction industry where quantity surveying serves as important discipline. Undeniably, BIM adoption has brought many advantages due to automation of multidimensional model platform that helps Quantity Surveyors (QS) to reduce arithmetic errors and removes many tedious tasks in conventional approach such as tendering and the production of bills of quantities (BQ). BIM will soon replace the traditional measurement done by QS if the Standard Method of Measurements (SMM) could be integrated in BIM. As a result, it is concerning that unemployment of quantity surveyors might be an issue if there is no revolution or adaptation of quantity surveying practices with the blossoming of BIM implementation in Malaysia. Hence, this research is carried out to determine the new skills needed by a quantity surveyor in order to keep pace with the implementation of BIM in Malaysia. Qualitative research method is used in this study in which semi-structured interview was carried out with 20 experienced QS that applies BIM technology in their practices. Data abstracted from the transcript of interviews was then coded though NVivo 12 Pro and analyzed by using content analysis method. At the end of the study, the findings revealed that the QS must attain IT skills and BIM software knowledge to align with BIM drive. It is thus recommended that thorough provisions of integrating traditional methods of quantifying and costing building projects with cutting edge technologies must be included in BIM standard to ensure that BIM can be adopted at its best in the profession with increase performance.

The Impact

Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been viewed as capable of addressing the problems of the construction industry. Hitherto, some firms have acknowledged BIM as a novel way to work and gone on to record success, others (which have not so done) have elevated such questions as: ‘How is BIM defined? Is it a tool or a process? Which breeds and sizes of organizations stand to value from BIM?’ These questions formulate the basis of this research. Most of the buildings projects suffered from cumulative total cost and duration in Joran, therefore, there is a dire need for implementing BIM to control the claims in buildings projects in Jordan. This research study was pragmatic to assess the impact of implementation of BIM in building projects and to clarify its effect on controlling the claims that can be avoided by using BIM. The proposed BIM adoption plan is developed to analyze in depth by strategic analysis tools. PESTEL analysis is apprehensive about six issues; political, economic, socio- cultural, environmental, technological, and legal. Complete SWOT analysis is used as planning tool to understand strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, these strategic analysis tools aids to propose BIM adoption plan for building project describes by ADKAR change management model ; awareness ,desire ,knowledge ,ability and reinforcement. The outcomes of the research demonstrated that successful projects performed in the organizations that have used BIM is established on its adoption as a tool of technology, rather than as a process; a tool that transform the way, work in the construction industry is archetypally done. Additionally, the accomplishments recorded in the firms researched give credibility to project success consequent upon adopting BIM. Nonetheless, the conclusions of this research illustrate that the foundation of this success is leadership-driven innovation.

PurposeMandating the use of building information modelling (BIM) in building projects has sprawled, but the uptake of BIM in building services engineering (BSE) remains sluggish. The purpose of this paper is to explore how to achieve wider adoption of BIM in BSE.Design/methodology/approachThrough an extensive literature review, the benefits of, barriers to and measures conducive to, using BIM for BSE were identified and classified. Built upon the review and a focus group meeting, a questionnaire was devised for an industry-wide survey in Hong Kong and the survey data were processed by statistical analyses.FindingsOn the ranking of the benefits, strong agreements existed between the BSE and non-BSE respondent groups; yet no significant agreement was found between the two groups on the rankings of the barriers or the conducive measures. The top conducive measure, according to the BSE group, is “Allow enough time in project programme for BIM model development”.Research limitations/implicationsThe data collection and analysis methods of this study may be used for similar BIM studies in other places.Practical implicationsThe priority of the conducive measures, which aid policy or decision makers in formulating how to get BIM effectively implemented in BSE, are useful information in the pursuit of a more productive and sustainable built environment.Originality/valueThis BIM study is specifically on BSE rather than the other disciplines (e.g. architecture, structural engineering) that have been widely studied.

Building Plans

Although the Singapore government has mandated submissions of building plans in building information modelling (BIM) format since July 2013, this does not yet seem to lead to enhanced productivity performance. BIM collaboration between designers and downstream contractors appears to remain inadequate. While many studies have been conducted on using BIM for better project outcomes, studies that relate BIM with the identification of non-value adding activities in the project lifecycle and the reduction of the resulting wastes are at infancy stage. This paper aims to propose a project management framework for enhancing the productivity of building projects in Singapore, which forms Phase I of an ongoing research project. A two-pronged approach is presented. Firstly, non-value adding activities in the current project delivery process that uses BIM partially in Singapore are identified by comparing the typical current process with full BIM-based processes; such activities are cut down after process transformation in terms of people, process, and technology. Secondly, time savings derived from reducing the wastes caused by these activities are quantified. The proposed framework was validated by a case study of a local residential project. It was concluded that this framework provides a valuable tool for project teams to enhance productivity performance.
