Analysis of Problems, Consequences and Solutions for Bim Application in Reconstruction Projects

Abstract

The main aim of analysis presented in this paper is based on the complex evaluation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) application and decision support in reconstruction projects. The reconstruction projects face the high level uncertainty during implementation mostly due inappropriate information management, insufficient quality control and low competence of participants. The application of advanced Computer-Aided tools such as BIM uses both with advanced Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) can be the way to solve the problems of reconstruction projects. The fourteen reconstruction projects have been analysed and the list of thirteen main problems has been identi­fied. The pair wise judgment of problems has been made based on in the expert survey using the Analytic Hierarchy Pro­cess (AHP) method. The occurrence, influence to project and significance of the problems have been calculated and were prioritised according to the importance and consequences. After the complex analysis of problems, it is suggested to use combined list of solutions of the BIM tool application in reconstruction projects to support decision making process.

Application of Multiple Criteria Decision Making Methods in Construction: A Systematic Literature Review

“…In this case, stochastic optimization methods (e.g. NSGA-II) is often chosen to solve the complex design problem (Migilinskas et al, 2017), such as rock-fill dam design (Nikoo et al, 2015) and sewerage rehabilitation design (Lin et al, 2016).…”

“…1-Insufficient knowledge on BIM enforcement systems in the senior executives. CR1 (Kaneta et al, 2017) 2-Lack of sufficient research projects on BIM CR2 (Zhao et al, 2017) 3-Lack of experts in the field of BIM CR3 (Krivonogov et al, 2018;Migilinskas et al, 2013;Pavlovskis et al, 2017;Migilinskas et al, 2017) 4-Lack of BIM training centers CR4 (Krivonogov et al, 2018) 5-Incompatibility of the existing software and hardware with BIM software system CR5 (Mirarchi et al, 2018) 6-Lack of proper training programs for the personnel to become familiar with BIM CR6 (Krivonogov et al, 2018;Garyaeva, 2018) Technical 7-Insufficient information on BIM among the private sector CR7 (Kaneta et al, 2017) 8 Timing 15-Lack of time to implement BIM CR15 (Kaneta et al, 2017) A professional questionnaire (see supplementary information) was elaborated based on these criteria and then employed to assist in collecting the opinion of a target expert group. The expert group was carefully selected by inviting experts in the field, with excellent academic and/or practical experience in the field of BIM.…”

An application of BIM technologies in typical dwelling building projects

“…The researchers in their literature analysis mostly highlights BIM benefits and opportunities in the construction industry but challenges, disatvantageis and limitations of BIM use aolso need to be anlysed (Azhar, 2011;Eastman et al, 2011;Migilinskas, Pavlovskis, Urba, & Zigmund, 2017).…”

“…Disadvantages and Limitations of BIM use (S. Liu, Xie, Tivendal, & C. Liu, 2015;Migilinskas et al, 2017):  Project participants are working with specific tools and often data ex-change is limited due to software incompatibility;  Lack of clarity on data management, intellectual property and responsibility of participants with project content;  The first use of BIM technologies is often the result of errors, due to lack of experience and leads to timeconsuming bug fixes;  Lack of standards or the development of a national strategy for BIM implementation;  Lack of competence of project participants using BIM technologies;  Fear of failure and high initial investment costs;  Time for training how to use the software;  Too consoervative approach to new management technologies.…”

“…In Lithuania BIM technologies are being used by architects, structural and other engineers, contractors, manufacturers and building administrators who need to work together to simplify workflows and ensure that all design, construction and maintenance are effective but many participants and especially the client still think that BIM is too expensive for the Lithuanian construction industry (Pavlovskis et al, 2016;Migilinskas et al, 2017). The object of this research is to investigate the possibilities of application of BIM technologies in actually implemented typical and repetitive dwelling building projects.…”
