Numerous authors have shown that using BIM has positive impacts on improving buildability levels on large-scale construction projects. This paper examines the impact of BIM on small-scale projects, particularly single-family homes. A series of case studies and interviews with architecture professionals were conducted. Results show that the benefits obtained are equivalent to those reported in the literature for larger projects, suggesting that the impact of BIM on improving buildability levels is similar for both small-scale and large-scale projects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
