Building Information Modeling for Housing Renovation - Example for Ukraine

Abstract

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is the latest software technology used widely by many construction businesses - big and small - particularly within the Architecture Engineering Construction (AEC) sector. Besides being a design and documentation tool, building information models (BIM) provide a platform for enhanced knowledge base collaboration, the potential to manage modification, and therefore the capability to provide information support throughout the lifecycle of an apartment building. A big share of the eastern European construction industries remains excluded from BIM technology and the potential advantages it will hand over to their business, particularly for renovation projects. It requies the involvement of all stakeholders to realize higher-level coordination, productivity, visualization and value efficiencies. The advantages of BIM exploitation for renovation projects are considered in the article. Tendencies in the development of BIM technologies throughout the globe and in eastern European countries on example of Ukraine are shown. Examples of the exploitation of local building information systems in realizing renovation processes are given, and proposals for policymakers in terms of applying BIM technologies in housing renovation activities and facility management are formulated.

Business Sustainability through Technology Management Approach for Construction Company

“…It was also used to achieve restricted data redundancy, controlled unauthorized information access, transaction processing, integrity enforcement, and data recovery. It brought benefits for all types of construction related activities, be it facility management, existing building refurbishment, or maintenance works for operating building [2]. For a newly build project, it delivered the benefits for early awareness of conflicts in design stage, and scheduled monitoring along the construction period.…”

“…The implementation of BIM in AEC projects in the last 10 years showed that the digitalization in construction environment has a significant impact on optimization of all the services and communication between all participants of an investment (Azhar, Khalfan & Maqsood, 2015). The application of BIM in Western European countries has been increasing and provides real savings of 20% in design and construction stages of AEC projects (Siniak, Źróbek, Nikolaiev & Shavrov, 2019).…”

4D BIM Simulation Guideline for Construction Visualization and Analysis of Renovation Projects: A Case Study

“…This project highlighted the benefits of cost-oriented arrangements of construction activities in BIM technology. If the project is based on reliable information, project teamwork and decision-making BIM can facilitate design and renovation process by automated simulation of cost-activity information (Siniak et al, 2019).…”
