Facilitators And Barriers

The authors provide a holistic perspective to enhance BIM working environment for more efficient smart construction settlements. An in-depth survey with 40 questionnaires was distributed to 100 professionals in construction, design, engineering, government. Although 45% of the respondents have received a certain form of BIM education, more than 94% of the respondents have answered that there should be a formal BIM education. Both design and construction experts have reported that the biggest advantage of using BIM is in its error checking ability. It can reduce design errors and increase construction ability. More than 79% of the respondents agreed upon a proper compensation for BIM implementation. The majority of opinions have revealed that there should be an increase in construction and design fees. There are a number issues for a successful BIM application: (1) guidelines and details for BIM work and delivery; (2) more standardized BIM education; and (3) a proper compensation system for BIM work. The results show that BIM professionals are ready to adopt the consequences of using BIM, but administrative and institutional preparations are not available beforehand. There should be a higher level of regulatory concern and provision of administrative solutions for successful BIM applications.

Bridge Information Modeling

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.

Abstract: Construction industry is believed to be one of the most criticized industries worldwide. During the last two decades, this criticism has denoted a lot of problems. Without disregarding any of the industry problems, it seems that the most criticized problems are low delivery performance, lack of innovation, lack of collaboration and fragmented nature of the industry. To overcome these problems, a collaborative work environment is needed. During the last few years, the use of advanced information technologies in construction hasincreased to support the industry requirement of collaboration environment.

This paper presents our initial study on Building Information Modeling (BIM) adoption urgency for architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry in Indonesia. Currently, BIM is being adopted by many countries around the world because of its’ efficiency and other benefits. Meanwhile, most of AEC industries in Indonesia still using the conventional method and there are no regulations from Indonesian AEC authority for adopting BIM. With that situation, a study of BIM adoption in Indonesian AEC industries is important. This study uses a qualitative approach with explorative type. Input from the survey is evaluated qualitatively using content analysis, distribution analysis and correspondence analysis method. Based on analysis result, it shows that BIM as a mean to encourage a more sustainable approach in AEC industry is still in its development phase but it shows great potentials and it gives stakeholders a better way to achieve sustainable built environment. Current lack of awareness and understanding of BIM in Indonesia, particularly in the education sector, is a key factor that impedes BIM adoption and one that can be addressed by integrating BIM into AEC curriculum. Government and practitioners alike need to develop a strategic roadmap to pave way for successful BIM implementation.
