Virtual 3D city models can be stored and exchanged in the CityGML open data model. When dynamic phenomena in 3D cities are represented with a CityGML application domain extension (ADE), the objects in CityGML are often used as static background, and it is difficult to represent the evolutionary process of the objects themselves. Although a construction process model in building information modeling (BIM) is available, it cannot efficiently and accurately simulate the building construction process at the city level. Accordingly, employing the arrow diagramming method, we developed a CityGML ADE to represent this process. We extended the hierarchy of the model and proposed the process levels of detail model. Subsequently, we explored a mechanism to associate the construction process and building objects as well as the mechanism to automate construction process transitions. Experiments indicated that the building construction process ADE (BCPADE) could adequately express the characteristics of this process. Compared with the building construction process model in the architecture, engineering, and construction field, BCPADE removes redundant information, i.e., that unrelated to a 3D city. It can adequately express building construction processes at multiple spatiotemporal scales and accurately convey building object behavior during building evolution, such as adding, removal, merging, and change. Such characteristics enable BCPADE to render efficient and accurate simulations of the building construction process at the city level.

In the era of strong IT development, superior processing of information is a desideratum in any business. Used in modeling and simulation, information has better capitalization, having a cognitive role; introduced in various algorithms and models can generate knowledge and wisdom. The processing of information is realized within the information systems (IS). A sub-domain of the energy sector that has developed in recent years is energy retrofitting, seen as a border subdomain, including specific elements from building construction and the energy field, for building analysis and construction process to achieve much larger energy savings. The development of retrofitting can be organized, through using BEM (Building Energy Model) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) models.

The application of robotics in construction is hindered by the site environment, which is unstructured and subject to change. At the same time, however, buildings and corresponding sites can be accurately described by Building Information Modeling (BIM). Such a model contains geometric and semantic data about the construction and operation phases of the building and it is already available at the design phase. We propose a method to leverage BIM for simple yet efficient deployment of robotic systems for construction and operation of buildings. With our proposed approach, BIM is used to provide the robot with a priori geometric and semantic information on the environment and to store information on the operation progress. We present two applications that verify the effectiveness of our proposed method. This system represents a step forward towards an easier application of robots in construction.

Zusammenfassung Die Unfallhäufigkeit auf deutschen Baustellen ist mehr als doppelt so hoch als in den übrigen Wirtschaftszweigen. Unfälle ereignen sich unter anderem aufgrund von Versäumnissen in der Identifikation von unsicheren Arbeitsbedingungen, bevor ein Arbeitsprozess ausgeführt wird. Die modellbasierte Arbeitsweise in der Bauindustrie ist ein Trend, der sich in den vergangenen Jahren mehr und mehr durchsetzt. In diesem Zusammenhang wird oft der Begriff Building Information Modeling (BIM) verwendet. BIM baut auf dem Konzept der 3D-Modellierung durch die Einbeziehung nicht-grafischer Objektdaten in das Modell auf. Bauwerksinformationsmodelle sind eine vielversprechende Entwicklung im Bausektor und können auch zur Gestaltung sicherer Arbeitsbedingungen genutzt werden. Nur wenige Forschungsaktivitäten weltweit sind bisher auf die Nutzung von Bauwerksinformationsmodellen bei der Identifikation von Gefährdungen von Bauprozessen ausgerichtet. Gegenstand der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Integration der modellbasierten Arbeitsweise in die Prozesse der Gefährdungsbeurteilung. Auf Grundlage von Algorithmen zur systematischen Identifikation und Kategorisierung von Gefährdungen wurde ein Modell entwickelt, das Gefährdungen objekt-, prozess- und umfeldspezifisch identifiziert und in einer objektorientierten Datenbank erfasst. Das vorgestellte Konzept wurde hinsichtlich Anwendbarkeit und praktischer Relevanz an ausgewählten Beispielszenarien nachgewiesen.

High school in Indonesia has two types, specifically senior high schools and vocational schools (SMK). Vocational high schools in Indonesia have a lot of education focus which aims to provide education to their students so they can work immediately. One of the vocational schools in Indonesia is the Tangerang 4 Vocational High School which focuses on education in engineering. One of the engineering scopes at SMK Negeri 4 Tangerang is "Drawing Technique for Building" (Teknik Gambar Bangunan). "Drawing Technique for Building" is a vocational class that specializes in learning how to draw techniques for houses and buildings. As vocational students of "Building Drawing Technique", each student must learn how to draw techniques according to ISO standards complete with various etiquettes in manually, after proficient in drawing manually, students must learn AutoCAD, an software for drawing because this becomes the main competency as students "Building Drawing Techniques". To increase the capacity and capabilities of its students at SMK 4 Tangerang, the Budi Luhur University Architecture Study Program introduces one of the software related to building drawing The software introduced in Revit Architecture version 2013. Revit Architecture 2013 is a software that aims to create building construction designs for architects and supports the concept of BIM (Building Information Modeling). The output of this socialization is that students of SMK Negeri 4 Tangerang understanding about software for drawing techniques other than AutoCAD and various conveniences when drawing with Revit Architecture 2013 software

The construction industry is a kind of multi-project engineering. The management in the construction process is an important factor in ensuring construction quality. This paper briefly introduced the relevant content of building information modeling (BIM) and the application of BIM combined with the genetic algorithm in optimizing the processing scheme in the cutting process of steel structure buildings, and took a grid-shaped steel shed in Zhengzhou, Henan, as an example to compare the traditional and BIM optimized schemes. The results showed that the BIM-optimized scheme could make better use of raw materials with different specifications and the optimization scheme had higher economic benefits because of higher utilization rate, fewer processing personnel, and fewer working hours

Abstract With the growth of high-density living, disputes experienced by residents in multi-owned buildings (MOBs) have become an ongoing challenge in urban areas. A significant number of the disputations have found their root cause in the issues concerning improper use and management of MOBs by residents. It stems from their inaccurate understanding of ownership rights that are inherently 3D but using 2D cadastral survey plans, authoritative documents of ownership. This research explores the ability of building information modeling (BIM) to address required information for improving the perception of ownership rights that affect resident behaviors in managing MOBs. An open data model of BIM is extended to accommodate the necessary information for preventing resident misbehaviors that led to dispute cases in Victoria state, Australia. In this study, we implement BIM data of an MOB where a real dispute happened to demonstrate the validity of the enriched data model on the information delivery and an enhanced understanding of ownership rights. It is confirmed that the use of BIM facilitates the alleviation of the misbehaviors by informing residents with accurate communication of ownership rights and could support the avoidance of disputes in MOBs.
