“…BIM-enabled communication can transform the process of information flow within project teams and stakeholders (Dossick and Neff, 2011). BIM allows for a collaborative environment during the various project stages that helps cover the challenges associated with modern construction projects, such as numerous interdependent work processes and knowledge-intensive multidisciplinary tasks (Badran et al ., 2020). The digital workspace encountered because of the use of BIM brings together the different stakeholder teams and groups under one umbrella during the design and planning, reducing information loss and optimizing the decision-making process (Alirezaei et al ., 2022).…”

“…This results in improving the efficiency of various processes and project phases. However, no specific project type or lifecycle phase is considered to identify risks (Badran et al ., 2020). Still, it is beyond question that the application of BIM in construction projects significantly improves risk management, leading to new avenues and opportunities (Sami Ur Rehman et al ., 2020).…”

PurposeDesign cost overrun is one of the prominent factor that can impact the sustainable delivery of the project. It can be encountered due to a lack of information flow, design variation, etc. thereby impacting the project budget, waste generation and schedule. An overarching impact of this is witnessed in the sustainability dimensions of the project, mainly in terms of economic and environmental aspects. This work, therefore, aims to assess the implications of a technological process, in the form of building information modelling (BIM), that can smoothen the design process and mitigate the risks, thus impacting the sustainability of the project holistically.Design/methodology/approachThe identified design risks in construction projects from the literature were initially analysed using a fuzzy inference system (FIS). This was followed by the focus group discussion with the project experts to understand the role of BIM in mitigating the project risks and, in turn, fulfilling the sustainability dimensions.FindingsThe FIS-based risk assessment found seven risks under the intolerable category for which the BIM functionalities associated with the common data environment (CDE), data storage and exchange and improved project visualization were studied as mitigation approaches. The obtained benefits were then subsequently corroborated with the achievement of three sustainability dimensions.Research limitations/implicationsThe conducted study strengthens the argument for the adoption of technological tools in the construction industry as they can serve multifaceted advantages. This has been shown through the use of BIM in risk mitigation, which inherently impacts project sustainability holistically.Originality/valueThe impact of BIM on all three dimensions of sustainability, i.e. social, economic and environmental, through its use in the mitigation of critical risks was one of the important findings. It presented a different picture as opposed to other studies that have mainly been dominated by the use of BIM to achieve environmental sustainability.

“…In BIM, the entire project life cycle can be visualised from the planning and construction stages to demolition and renovation, which enables integrating quantity estimation and quantity take-offs, modelling, budgeting, time planning, programming, and site analysis. BIM can thus assist with the planning, coordination, and design, and inform further documentation for procurement and tendering [6,7,8]. This holistic approach stimulates safe construction activities by enabling identifying possible errors before works on-site begin.…”

Building information modelling (BIM) has become an efficient tool to contribute more effectively to achieving sustainability development goals. BIM utilities have progressively revealed efficient environments to share data amongst stakeholders. The present paper aims to evaluate levels of awareness around BIM capabilities amongst engineers and project managers, focusing on the Saudi Arabia construction industry. The study targeted individuals registered with the Saudi Council of Engineers until the year 2020, who were invited to engage with a questionnaire survey. The study targeted individuals registered with the Saudi Council of Engineers, who were invited to engage with a questionnaire survey. A sample of 940 participants was taken by the survey out of a total population of the study of 55776 engineers whose responses materialised in a robust statistical analysis. According to the survey, 61% (circa 572) have developed awareness of BIM, whereas 39% (368) confirmed that they had never heard of it. A descriptive Statistics framework with the aid of SPSS has been developed to complete the statistical study. Analyses of data indicated that the benefit of using BIM is significant in the broad sustainability realm, Life Cycle Cost (LCC), operations and maintenance, efficient use of energy, daylight analysis, thermal design, and transparency in cost.

“…However, there is still a lack of mechanisms that would leverage state-of-the-art technologies such as BIM with the uncertainty management frameworks in complex construction projects [26]. BIM-based uncertainty management frameworks are currently emerging at the theoretical level, where the automatization and practical integration of existing frameworks with new technologies remain the main challenges thus far [27].…”

Resilient Scheduling as a Response to Uncertainty in Construction Projects

2021

Complex construction projects are developed in a dynamic environment, where uncertainty conditions have a great potential to affect project deliverables. In an attempt to efficiently deal with the negative impacts of uncertainty, resilient baseline schedules are produced to improve the probability of reaching project goals, such as respecting the due date and reaching the expected profit. Prior to introducing the resilient scheduling procedure, a taxonomy model was built to account for uncertainty sources in construction projects. Thence, a multi-objective optimization model is presented to manage the impact of uncertainty. This approach can be described as a complex trade-off analysis between three important features of a construction project: duration, stability, and profit. The result of the suggested procedure is presented in a form of a resilient baseline schedule, so the ability of a schedule to absorb uncertain perturbations is improved. The proposed optimization problem is illustrated on the example project network, along which the probabilistic simulation method was used to validate the results of the scheduling process in uncertain conditions. The proposed resilient scheduling approach leads to more accurate forecasting, so the project planning calculations are accepted with increased confidence levels.
