Application of Building Information Modelling and Construction Process Simulation Ensuring Virtual Project Development Concept in 5D Environment

“…A growing diversity between disciplines, participants, tasks, tools and events while project management in design and construction stages [3], the rising pressure of costing competition and tighter production deadlines, together with consistently increasing quality requirements and necessity of technological enhancements, have been the driving force of information modeling and numerical simulation in building industry. The range of applications covers virtually every phase of the specific construction product development process [4], [5], [6], [7]: planning, design, estimating, scheduling, fabrication, construction, maintenance and facility management. Theoretical background and practical innovative applications of building information modeling and construction process simulation technique [6], [8], [9], [10] ensuring Virtual Project Development (VPD) concept [11] are observed in the article.…”

“…Traditionally project scope is divided by working packages for different disciplines [5], [7], [15]. Then project team organization gets number of the companies different in attitudes, culture and competence in their performance [14].…”

“…Then project team organization gets number of the companies different in attitudes, culture and competence in their performance [14]. Therefore coordination and communication between members of the project performers becomes very complex and difficult [5], [16]. This situation leads to increased risk of errors [17], [18] and omissions and at same time restricted design capabilities.…”

Reusing enterprise models to build platform independent computer models

“…Nevertheless, in their present state there are a number of issues that prevent any of the existing approaches from creating and transforming enterprise models into Platform Independent Models that are wholly satisfactory and capable of being used to support the development of a computer system (Garner & Raban, 1999). The main problems can be summed up as follows:…”

The intentional relationship of representation between the constructs of a language and reality

“…in modelling information systems [13]). In the field of corporate knowledge management, context modelling is regarded a value: the context in which a piece of information is located can be very useful to determine the relevance of the piece of information in a given, new application context [1, p. 266].…”
