“…In addition to this, integrations of delay analysis methods into the mediums of project management such as BIM came into prominence. Although many researchers have the joint agreement that BIM based delay analysis tools reduce the number of disputes resulting from delay issues in construction projects [67][68][69][70][71], few studies endeavoured to develop a framework examining the integration of delay analysis into BIM tools [72][73][74][75] to develop a BIM based delay analysis tool [76] and BIM based delay claim management tools [77]. Moreover, CCPM, as an innovative approach, was widely discussed in the literature and it is asserted to have great potential to remedy delay related issues of construction projects [78][79][80][81].…”
Section: Main Research Interests Concerning Delay Analysismentioning
Numerous studies have been conducted by researchers on the delay analysis topic, which is one of the primary areas of scientific study due to the effects of delays on time and cost in construction projects. Following fruitful contributions made by the researchers, it is believed to be extremely important to summarize the existing studies in terms of being a road map for future studies and practitioners. In this context, not only does this study aim to detect the most significant authors, sources, organizations and countries contributing to the improvement of delay domain in the construction industry concerning delay analyses worldwide but also to provide the researchers with extensive insights concerning the prominent research themes, trends and gaps in the literature. Hence, 168 documents related to delay analyses from 1982 to 11 February 2021 were detected through the Scopus Database and the Web of Science Database, and scientometric analyses were conducted via VOSviewer software. By evaluating the related research, two main research areas were detected in this field, namely; improving the delay analysis methods and resolving the disputes before they occur. This study is believed to make theoretical and practical contributions in that it examines the delay analysis topic in all aspects such as prominent institutions, countries, authors and sources, synthesizes the data and highlights possible research domains, gaps and trends concerning the delay analysis topic in construction industry.

“…For instance, Shen and Marks (2015) have developed a near-miss database plugin for construction safety in one of the BIM software (Shen and Marks, 2015). Other such plugins already developed in BIM environment, include: recording of construction quality defects information (Ying-Mei, 2017); development of a hybrid solution for real-time environmental monitoring and notification system for buildings, using BIM and Wireless Sensors Network (Arslan et al, 2014); estimating variations in project completion period due to the time ripple effect (Moayeri et al, 2017); integration of BIM with wireless sensors to monitor construction workers safety in confined spaces (Riaz et al, 2014); and development of claim management system for EOT claims in BIM (Ali et al, 2020).…”
Section: A Review Of Construction Delays Management With Bimmentioning
Delays in construction result in a multitude of negative effects on project performance, and severe dismays among participating parties. This study aims to digitize the traditional process of recording and managing the construction delays using Building Information Modeling (BIM). Extensive literature review followed by semi-structure interviews of 21 industry experts were carried out to identify the issues faced by construction stakeholders in managing construction delays. To resolve these issues, a plugin named BIM-based Construction Delays Recorder (BIM-CDR) is developed using Application Programming Interface (API) of the most commonly used BIM software i.e. Autodesk Revit. BIM-CDR provides a centralized repository, encompassing detailed information related to delays, which can be retrieved and visualized to analyze their impact on delay claims. To assess the effectiveness of BIM-CDR, a feasibility study is conducted with the experts’ review panel. The results revealed that BIM-CDR can record wide-ranging information related to all the significant issues causing delays on construction sites, and can help in effectively managing their corresponding claims. The advantages of the developed prototype include visualization of delays’ location, facilitation of delay analysis and effective delays management. Moreover, it also promotes transparency and speedy settlement of delay related claims without any unwanted disputes.
“…This approach seems to have many advantages compared to conventional presentation methods. Thus, in the past, researchers discussed these advantages for forensic construction time analyses [8][9][10].…”
This paper is based on a research project focused on updating a disturbance-modified schedule for the evaluation of building claims. In this context, the quantification of time effects in expert analyses is discussed. This novel approach is based on a time-discrete simulation method using an agent-based simulation with Petri nets and building information models. Here, the focus is on the reconfiguration of the composition structure of the Petri net, which is triggered by events in the sequence structure. In addition, this paper presents a conceptual proposal how to chronologically integrate documents into the Petri net structure. Thus, the simulation model and the building claims can be verified and validated. Specialized transitions are also used to implement document integration into the Petri net model.
