Since the expression "Building Information Modeling" (BIM) was initially presented in the Engineering and Construction AEC industry in the most recent decade; it has changed numerous parts of the design, construction, and operation of a building. BIM is a middleware connector that represents the advancement and utilization of PC. BIM has various frameworks which have been conducted by the pioneers in the BIM industry to enhance the BIM process. There is a study of the reflection of those frameworks on the Egyptian AEC industry to overcome the threats that prevent Egypt from applying BIM technology more broadly. In addition, a comparison is conducted between the successful countries which implemented BIM in their projects and managed to enhance their adoption by examining the local challenges and targets. The countries then made strategies and standards to overcome the aforementioned obstacles. Furthermore, successful actions were applied that can match with the Egyptian industrial requirements. This paper is expected to define the challenges which are facing the Egyptian industry to apply BIM and the potential capabilities of solving those problems. To acquire the vital information to carry on this paper, a questionnaire was created and distributed in the AEC community. The reason for the study was to see how experts consider BIM as a device in the fields of design and construction in general and in the Egyptian industry particularly. The aim of this paper is to propose a framework through several case studies which are discussed, analyzed and compared. The purpose of the analysis is to explore the importance of using BIM. Additionally, exploring the effect of different parameters on implementing BIM helped significantly during the process. It starts with proposing its framework with evaluating matrix that contains attributes to measure its success, moreover, it serves as a great help to the Egyptian companies that make real business decisions about enhancing BIM implementation through this framework.

This paper describes the possibilities of using BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology based on object modeling in transport infrastructure projects. The main focus was on investments such as roads and railways. The objectives of implementing this technology were presented and its benefits for participants of the construction process were discussed. The basic principles, norms and documents related to the BIM methodology have been outlined. Then it was described at what stage the introduction of this technology is on the Polish market. Finally, examples of "implementation" projects currently implemented by the main managers of the rail and road network in Poland, ie PKP PLK and GDDKiA, were shown. Keywords: civil engineering, BIM, infrastructure.

<p class="Resumo">A implementação de tecnologias da informação na construção civil, como <em>Virtual Design and Construction</em> / <em>Building Information Modeling</em> (VDC/BIM) representam uma nova perspectiva para melhores práticas na AECO (Arquitetura; Engenharia; Construção; Operação). Contudo, no cenário brasileiro, estas práticas carecem de métodos para medição e análise de desempenho processual da informação na gestão do processo de projeto, demonstrando a deficiência da documentação de critérios e seleção de indicadores que contribuam para melhoria do setor da construção civil. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva sobre a exploração do método <em>VDC Scorecard</em> e a adaptação à realidade brasileira, tendo por base pesquisa bibliográfica e documental existentes em bases de dados internacionais e nacionais explorando os seguintes aspectos: benefícios registrados; dificuldades na implementação; boas práticas na gestão do projeto. A pesquisa valida a importância dos métodos de desempenho que se adequem ao contexto nacional, viabilizando a integração e controle da informação entre agentes envolvidos num modelo colaborativo de edificação virtual e apropriação de dados por meio dos modelos de desempenho configurados através da análise contínua dos processos, da organização e do produto. Esta apropriação possibilita a documentação de um banco de dados de práticas eficientes para gestão de processos de projeto configurando o desempenho do modelo.</p>

Design And Construction

With inappropriate design or construction, the functions and service life of buildings begin to decline from the day of official use until they are demolished and resulting in extremely high cumulative cost throughout the building life cycle (BLC). However, the development of building information modeling (BIM) provides a solution for short BLCs and massive cumulative cost caused by errors occurring during the building design and construction phases. BIM is an innovative technique applicable to building design and construction management that has been vigorously developed in the construction industry. The development of BIM technology is now a global trend that can not be ignored, similar to 2D CAD before. BIM can be further developed into several aspects and applied during the construction phase, most important of all, enhance the overall building functionality and save operating cost throughout the BLC.
