“…This sub-category focuses on identifying the FM information requirements for successful facilities information management through BIM. The current research focused on very specific information requirements by identifying the required information of: healthcare facilities [38][39][40][41], HVAC systems [42][43][44], the building handover process [45][46][47][48][49]. Only one article was found that focused on creating a generic set of information requirements for a successful information exchange process [50].…”

“…With the development of three-dimensional (3D) modeling software and building information modeling (BIM) technology, the way building information is represented and managed has the potential to be revolutionized [52]. Although the value of BIM has been recognized by designers in the construction industry, the applications of BIM are limited to visualization, collision detection, and construction simulation [60,[73][74][75]. In terms of the detailed design of a PHP project, numerous limitations related to the information exchange in both geometric shape information and other semantically meaningful information between architects (the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) format) and fabricators (the Standard ACIS Text (SAT) format) have impeded the BIM technology in the detailed design phase [58].…”

Abstract:The process of prefabrication housing production (PHP) has been inevitably faced with diverse challenges. A number of factors affect the successful implementation of PHP. However, the critical success factors (CSFs) remain unrevealed. This paper aims to examine the CSFs for the planning and control of PHP projects. A total of 23 factors were identified as a result of literature review, in-depth interviews and pilot studies with experts in the construction industry. A questionnaire survey was conducted with designers, manufacturers, and contractors in China. The result showed that the top five CSFs were: (1) designers' experience of PHP, (2) manufacturer's experience of PHP, (3) project manager's ability to solve problems, (4) maturity of techniques used in the detailed design phase, and (5) persistent policies and incentives. The 23 CSFs were further categorized into five groups via exploratory factor analysis, namely: (1) technology and method, (2) information, communication and collaboration, (3) external environment, (4) experience and knowledge, and (5) competence of the project manager. In particular, "technology and method" played the dominant role. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge via a holistic approach covering the key actors of PHP such as designers, manufacturers as well as contractors to examine CSFs of PHP. These findings provided designers and project managers with a useful set of criteria for the effective project planning and control of PHP and facilitated the successful implementation PHP.

“…An applicable ROI calculation model is also proposed. Regarding the research methods, the authors first performed the analysis of the scientific literature on the ROI concept and on measuring BIM efficiency [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Then, the logical construction approach is used to propose a specific ROI calculation method.…”

Abstract:The aim of this article is to enhance the understanding of how design companies perceive the benefits of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies application. BIM is recognized in the literature as a (potentially) powerful driver leading the construction sector towards sustainability. However, for design companies, the choice to invest in BIM technologies is basically an economic one. Specifically, a design company assesses economic benefits and efficiency improvements thanks to the application of BIM technologies. The article discusses the return on investments (ROI) in BIM technologies and reviews ROI calculation methodologies proposed by other authors. In order to evaluate BIM return on investment correctly practical ROI calculations are carried out. Appropriate methods, together with the relevant variables for ROI calculation, are developed. The study allows for adjusting the calculation method making it more accurate and understandable using the Autodesk Revit based ROI calculation of the first year.
