“…In a similar way, there are BIM-based automated design and planning for the boarding of light-frame residential buildings that successfully preserve the know-how of senior trades people while also minimizing material waste in automating the boarding design and planning [99]. Also, in regard to waste material, there is a BIM-based estimation of wood-waste stream in the case of an institutional building project where the comparison of the estimated wood formwork waste quantities and the actual formwork quantities manipulated from model parameters reveals a total difference of 19.7% [100]. Finally, there is an automated BIM-cased "Computer Numerical Control" (from now on CNC) file generator for wood panel framing machines in construction manufacturing that allows for the generation of CNC files directly from a BIM model, thus reducing the reliance on third-party CAM/CAD tools and facilitating fully automated machine operations in offsite construction [101].…”

This research raises questions about the possibilities and options of using the BIM methodology associated with software for the wood design and construction of structure modeling along an asset’s cycle life. Likewise, several academic and research initiatives are reviewed. In this sense, this paper aims to establish an appropriate link between two agendas that the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, academia, and governments normally handle separately. By conducting several literature reviews (book, journals, and congresses) and extensive software tests (BIM software: Revit v2023, Archicad v27, Tekla, and wood plug-ins: AGACAD, Archiframe, Timber Framing 2015, WoodStud Frame, etc.), the state-of-the-art was assessed in both fields, and several cases linking BIM and wood are shown in detail and discussed. Various theoretical samples are modelled and shown, and the advantages and disadvantages of each technique and stage are explained. On the other hand, although wood construction has been most common for hundreds of years, this is not the case of BIM software developments associated with this materiality. Furthermore, since the appearance of materials such as steel and reinforced concrete, all software developments have focused on these materials, leaving aside the possibility of developing applications for use in wood projects. According to that previously discussed, it can be concluded that BIM for wood has been used more frequently in academia, that both fields have several common processes, and, in many cases, that only a few BIM-wood tools have been used, thus disregarding the high potential and high level of benefits that result with the application of these methodologies for the complete building life cycle (design, construction, and operation).

“…Won and Cheng [94] developed a 4D BIM construction waste estimation system which relies on construction waste factors for the estimation of waste generation. Bakchan et al [95] presented a theoretical 4D BIM solution for construction waste disposal scheduling. However, according to Guera et al [34], existing 4D BIM applications for construction waste management present some deficiencies, such as only focusing on waste generated by rework activities, a lack of estimation for off-site recycling, and/or the use of fixed factors.…”

The Creation of Construction Schedules in 4D BIM: A Comparison of Conventional and Automated Approaches

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is now a globally recognised phenomenon, though its adoption remains inconsistent and variable between and within the construction sectors of different countries. BIM technology has enabled a wide range of functional applications, one of which, ‘4D BIM’, involves linking the tasks in a project’s construction schedule to its object-orientated 3D model to improve the logistical decision making and delivery of the project. Ideally, this can be automatically generated but in reality, this is not currently possible, and the process requires considerable manual effort. The level of maturity and expertise in the use of BIM amongst the project participants still varies considerably; adding further obstacles to the ability to derive full benefits from BIM. Reflecting these challenges, two case studies are presented in this paper. The first describes a predominantly manual approach that was used to ameliorate the implementation of 4D BIM on a project in Paris. In fact, there is scope for automating the process: a combination of BIM and Artificial Intelligence (AI) could exploit newly-available data that are increasingly obtainable from smart devices or IoT sensors. A prerequisite for doing so is the development of dedicated ontologies that enable the formalisation of the domain knowledge that is relevant to a particular project typology. Perhaps the most challenging example of this is the case of renovation projects. In the second case study, part of a large European research project, the authors propose such an ontology and demonstrate its application by developing a digital tool for application within the context of deep renovation projects.
