“…The 4DBIM improves site planning and scheduling optimization, encourages seamless coordination between architects, contractors, and on-site teams, maintains better preparedness in terms of the next steps during each construction stage, improves information sharing related to timeline expectations, reduces costly delays, and improves safety and efficiency by documenting an entire plan with specific details [18] . The 4D model enables engineers to see planning data, eliminating the need for conceptualisation, and quickly comprehending timetable issues [19] . It can help with early conflict identification by monitoring site status information in real time and displaying the effect of changes throughout the life cycle [20] .…”

The construction industry needs the modern construction methodology and technology. Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology supports to improve the quality of products by reducing design and construction defects, risk of health and safety of workers, and reduce the overall project cost and delivery time. The BIM has capabilities, but it is still unknown and unable to exploit the full scale of its benefits in Architectural Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. There is a trend to adopting the BIM level 1, which is limited to 2D and only in few cases 3D models uses in the design and construction of the residential and commercial buildings in Nepal. The paper has focused to provide insight into the BIM benefits and identify the potential barriers while adopting BIM Level 3 in Nepal. This was accomplished by developing a 4DBIM model of a multi-story residential building in Nepal and conducting the industry survey via focus group with the AEC professionals’ bases on the developed 4DBIM model. A comprehensive literature review was conducted and presented the findings of benefits and barriers while adopting the BIM. The paper presents and discusses the potential benefits of BIM use, and the challenges faces when implementing in developing country like Nepal. The study found that commercial and governmental projects can immediately be adopted the BIM technology. It is concluded that unavailability of skilled BIM users and lack of proper policies for the BIM adoption are key barriers in Nepal. Hence, new policy is required to achieve and exploit the full scale of the BIM benefits and improve the project delivery in terms of quality, cost and time including Health and Safety of workers and the sustainability of AEC industry.

One of the most significant concerns in urban development today is the organization of areas of cities that have become run-down over time. In order to complete previous constructability studies in other fields of construction, the current study evaluates constructability based on BIM, specifically in the context of the Tehran limited land renewal project. The motivation for this study is the current difficulties facing renewal designs for limited lands, and the lack of a quantitative constructability model for urban renewal projects in Iran. This paper aims (1) to discuss the design elements that should be considered in the design phase of urban renewal projects; (2) to identify the factors that may affect constructability; and (3) to propose a framework for assessing urban renewal designs by considering constructability factors using building information modeling (BIM). To meet these needs, this paper investigates constructability factors and their relative importance, considering the design elements that should be acknowledged in limited land renewal, using a multicriteria techniques. Some 28 constructability factors are identified through a literature review, and based on 52 responses received from a questionnaire survey, the factors are ranked using pairwise comparisons of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The final constructability factors that are identified through the technique for order preference using the similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) method are standard dimensions, safety, simplification of structure, resource intelligence and alignment, and skilled labor availability. The contribution of this research to the body of knowledge is, firstly, the development of constructability factors for measuring the constructability of urban renewal designs, and secondly, the introduction of BIM as a most beneficial tool for assessing the constructability of the proposed designs. In using the constructability assessment framework and identifying the trade-offs between the constructability of renewal projects in the limited areas of urban spaces, design alternatives become more feasible.
