The construction sector is in a development due to technological innovations in recent years. The innovations in information technologies change sectors very fast like telecommunication, health, and automotive, but this process is slower in the construction industry. In this study, the development of the researches in the construction sector has been examined within the framework of technological innovations. Some of the most important publications in construction information technologies, Automation in Construction and Advanced Engineering Informatics journals, have been analyzed. Publications covering the years between 2012 and 2018 related to building information modeling (BIM) and other developing areas were reviewed. The interaction between BIM and the other technological trends such as AI, machine learning, internet of things, deep learning, and 3D printing has been explored.

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.

The Right

The construction industry has been considered as refractory to information technologies. However, new technological approaches, such as the Building Information Modeling (BIM), are becoming increasingly adopted and are promising better collaboration, better flow optimization and greater integration of the supply chain. These changes are preparing the industry for the advent of "Construction 4.0", a more federating concept than BIM. This article explores the concept and shows how tall wood buildings could show the right path and lead the way for the rest of the industry. The research shows that while tall wood construction actually presents the potential to fit the construction 4.0 requirements, current practices are far from being uniform from one project to another. It also illustrates the need for a close collaboration between practitioners and researchers in order to overcome the current challenges.

Design Bid Build

To provide contractual framework for Design-BidBuild (DBB) contract as reference for construction industry in Jordan, this paper aims to discuss the best contractual framework to adopt Building Information Modeling (BIM) under (DBB) approach in construction sector in Jordan. To achieve this aim, scope of comprehensive literature divided in two frameworks is explored. First, the construction sector in Jordan and the others is the building information modeling framework. In this research, a qualitative approach is employed, where 13 semi-structured meetings were implemented with the largest construction companies in Jordanian construction field. The main research' findings revealed that improvements in the DBB contract, adopting BIM officially in contract and improving stakeholders ' relationship are obtained. The study concluded that to adopt BIM process correctly, earlier participation of major stakeholders is essential to enhance the coordination grade, discovering early disputes and decreasing the redesign processes. This in turn, safes efforts, time and cost

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.

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.
