“…The architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry is not deprived of the use of meta-heuristics. Meta-heuristics have been widely used in the design of structures [65], optimisation of construction site layout [66], material selection [67] and project scheduling [68]. Additionally, several studies have been conducted in the field of occupants' safe evacuation.…”

A significant number of injuries and fatalities occur annually due to fire in buildings. The proactive use of fire safety measures at the design stage can potentially lead to a considerable improvement in reducing casualties by assisting occupants in a safe evacuation. In this study, a framework is developed to obtain a set of appropriate fire safety measures while considering their effects on safe evacuation (i.e., increasing the percentage of survived occupants) and budget limits. The framework consists of four phases, namely (1) initial preparation, (2) optimisation with a meta-heuristic algorithm, (3) decision making when the designer should select appropriate measures considering the budget limit, and (4) applying the selected measures into BIM. A binary version of Billiards-inspired Optimisation Algorithm (BOA) is developed and utilised in the optimisation phase. A case study approach is adopted for this research and the performance of the proposed framework is evaluated by implementing it in two case projects: a residential building and a hospital building. The results indicate that the framework is a beneficial approach for designers to modify building designs in terms of safe evacuation at the design stage by using fire safety measures effectively and economically. It is expected that the output of this framework will help decrease fatalities of building users during a fire.

“…The integration and complementation of each other is the source of the synergy that arises from the use of these technologies together. Examples of positive impacts and combined application of these technologies are numerous in the literature, including [10,[46][47][48], and the potential for their combined use does not yet appear to have been fully utilized. This is mainly due to the problems that are described later in this paper.…”

The integration of BIM (Building Information Modeling) and GIS (Geographic Information System) technologies allows for added value in many fields; starting from the construction industry to administrative operations. However, the issue of integration is currently quite challenging. This is due to the lack of consistency (inter alia, a lack of standards) in the integration of both technologies. It is the result of the different primary use of BIM and GIS. The use of BIM and GIS integration has great potential, especially in the construction industry. Therefore, it was decided to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of integration as well as the opportunities and threats in the future by performing a SWOT analysis. The analysis was performed cross-sectionally based mainly on the existing literature. Finally, six strengths, five weaknesses, five opportunities, and four threats were identified and described.

Steel is an essential material for the construction industry; as a result, its consumption and production per capita have grown considerably, owing to population growth and increasing demands for industrialization in developing countries, among other factors. Steel offers certain advantages over other construction materials, such as low weight, adequate structural behaviors, a high degree of prefabrication, and increased construction speed. However, the use of steel as a construction material has increased the complexity of projects, particularly in terms of information management, because it is imperative to ensure quality and timely information for the different actors involved in the workflow. The inefficient use of information results in fragmentation during construction, to cope with such fragmentation, it is necessary to include building information modeling (BIM) that facilitate collaboration between the different actors involved in the building life cycle. BIM has been associated with improved productivity and cooperation among teams. However, the benefits of using BIM in the steel building process have not been explored comprehensively, even more when BIM does not exhibit continuity throughout the phases of a steel construction project; as a result, its benefits are curtailed. Therefore, there is a need to investigate, develop, and propose BIM integration that generate continuous communication, coordination and management between steel building phases, in order to ensure deliverables that conclude with a building that meets the initially established project requirements.The present PhD thesis proposes a BIM integration model called BIM for design, fabrication and erection in steel buildings (BIM-DFE) to improve communication, integration, comprehensible procurement processes, and production processes defined by critical stakeholders in the steel industry. These operating benefits can result in benefits for steelbuilding projects. Although this research is oriented to steel-building projects, the proposed BIM-DFE model can be extrapolated to different materials with similar processes such as concrete, wood or any prefabricated material for the construction industry.
