“…From visually complex 3D BIM model based MEP system it is possible to generate two-dimensional schematic diagrams like the traditional single line diagrams which are more user friendly [40]. Static and dynamic automated site layout planning is facilitated by BIM [41]. MEP layout optimization from its initial design to construction stage is achievable by BIM and there by achieving cost savings [42].…”

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is an object-oriented approach that can virtually create a 3D digital model of a building capable of doing realistic engineering analysis well before the construction begins. BIM offers sophisticated tools for electrical trade design and estimation. This paper primarily investigates with supportive case studies, the potential applications of BIM in electrical system design and analysis. Further, its energy analysis, geographical scale significance and smart built environmental applications are also investigated. This research emphasizes on the deployment of BIM at both static and dynamic level for electrical trade such that BIM electrical system design can be made more attractive and more cost effective. The preliminary investigations indicate that seamless integration of semantic information system of BIM with Geographical Information System (GIS) can be very useful for electrical grid optimization and city energy modelling.

“…It captures space demand of each construction activity over time and analyses space conflicts and their impact on productivity and safety performance. Finally, expanding the usage of real-time sensing and modeling coupled with immersive visualization technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) can make space modeling much more user friendly and accessible even for field staff [25] [9]. A notable number of researches have intended to develop the capability to allow users to use real-time monitoring tool to build virtual construction site models.…”

-Limited space availability is a common issue faced by construction projects and it has great impact on project productivity and safety performance. Effective management of space is challenging due to the highly dynamic and complex nature of construction site environment. Among them is space modeling, i.e. how to capture and visualize the time-phased site space that is constantly evolving. This paper reviews the state-of-art in space modeling studies in thirty publications. These studies are comparatively evaluated based on their methodology, technology basis, applications, maturity, and implementation. Manual processes and techniques have been traditionally used to document as-built site conditions. New space modeling has evolved from this manual, subjective, and 2D format to a more accurate, automated, and integrated approach using technologies, such as photo-modeling, 3D laser scanning, point cloud modeling, and building information modeling. This review provides a better understanding of major shifts of technologies and applications in space modeling research, meanwhile identifies promising areas for future research. Keywords -Construction site, space modeling, state of the art, literature review.

“…Approaches have been developed to perform rule checking for acoustical design (Pauwels et al, 2011) and many more performance evaluation activities. The latest trends in the domain include the use of BIM data for automating construction tasks such as site planning (Kumar and Cheng, 2015;Kannan and Santhi, 2013) and preparing a layout for construction safety (Zhang et al, 2013;Azhar and Behringer, 2013;Ding, Zhou and Akinci, 2014). Moreover, BIM authoring tools can also be used for generation of design alternatives based on available constraints (Abrishami et al, 2014).…”

Advancements in the computing realm have assisted the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry to progress significantly by automating several design tasks and activities. Building Information Modelling (BIM) authoring tools have played a significant role in automating design tasks and reducing the efforts required by the designer in redundant, repetitive or production-oriented activities. This paper explores one such approach that, with the help of BIM authoring tool and its Application Programming Interface (API), reduces the efforts expended on formwork design for concrete structures. The paper utilises the concept of using BIM data as input to compute the quantity of formwork, and generate visualisations and schedule of formwork. The developed approach first takes data input from semantic BIM to the API environment for computation and design of formwork systems, which is then placed within the BIM model, to generate visualisation and prepare schedules. The research work utilises a structural concrete wall as an example to demonstrate the presented approach. The approach will be influential in streamlining the formwork design process in the BIM environment and reducing efforts required by the designer and the planning engineer. Since the formwork elements are generated as 3-Dimensional (3D) solids and smart BIM elements, the generated model of formwork can be used for resolving clashes, scheduling, and resource planning.
