“…This also matched results found by (Elyamany, 2016) as the highest percentage, 35%, of respondents were hesitant about the main concepts of BIM. Furthermore, only 29% reported their knowledge about BIM implementation aspects, 24% reported that they are not knowledgeable and 47% reported that they were not sure (Othman et al.…”

PurposeThis research is built up upon exploring the concepts of building information modeling (BIM) adoption and strategy formulation with the aim to develop a strategy for implementing BIM in the Egyptian construction industry.Design/methodology/approachThe development of the BIM implementation strategy was based on two pillars, namely the literature review and results of the survey questionnaire and interviews. First, the review of literature helped investigating the BIM challenges and international strategies developed to implement BIM worldwide.FindingsThe research presented recommendations to assist policymakers in Egypt to facilitate BIM implementation.Originality/valueAlthough multiple frameworks have been proposed to aid in BIM implementation, a practical strategy to implement BIM in Egypt is still lacking. Moreover, current market scale studies neglect nonsoftware aspects of BIM adoption, do not identify market gaps or reflect market-specific criteria. As such, it cannot be used by policymakers to facilitate BIM diffusion.

“…Many countries have commented that the adoption of BIM in practice leads to growth in their productivity due to the prominent advantages of BIM. A common benefit of BIM over CAD is that during the design phases, BIM can perform automated conflict detection, saving time, and resources (Elyamany, 2016). The advantages of BIM are studied in various research studies.…”

BIM usage benefits and challenges for site safety application in Indian construction sector

Construction industry is highly exposed to accidents than other industries. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of the construction industry, more than one task is required to be performed at the same time. If safety planning is improper, it may lead to serious accidents on-site, directly affecting overall productivity. Recent technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) have the potential to manage safety on the construction site. This study deals with the status check of the awareness of BIM in Indian construction along with benefits, barriers faced in Indian construction. This study also presents the benefits that BIM implementation can bring for safety management. In this study, a questionnaire was designed to ascertain the level of awareness of BIM in the Indian construction industry. The questionnaire was distributed to construction professionals from all over India. A total of 171 valid responses were received from all the corners of India. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences analysis (SPSS) has been used for data analysis. The survey concludes that the Indian construction sector needs to work on the three main aspects that include awareness of BIM and its benefits for organizations, accumulation of BIM in the tertiary education system, and delivering corporate training in construction organizations for a successful realization of benefits by the implementation of BIM.

“…This capability will improve the productivity of assessing re-submitted designs and documentation, as well as the effectiveness and efficiency of physical 2D paper-based drawings and report storage practices, i.e., a specific room or a dedicated storage facility is no longer necessary. This will reduce operational costs for the building surveying profession [26]. Researchers have identified that BIM has become an essential part of design and construction and that it will serve as an information platform to maintain digital assets for the operation and maintenance of physical built assets [9,27].…”

“…This will allow building surveyors to utilise the 3D and 4D capabilities of BIM to provide design advice and recommendations. Building design professionals and other construction professionals can collaborate from the outset of a project based on one single source of data, empowering all of the key participants to improve the quality of the deliverables, including drawings, reports, and other documents, based on a collaborative workflow [25,26]. According to a case study of the Reid Steel company [28], the company saved 7000 GBP by adopting BIM and a digitalised building code checking system known as Eurocode, instead of hiring private certified building surveyors to identify design issues and amend the drawings and documentation before submitting them to an authority to obtain a building permit.…”

Building Information Modelling Feasibility Study for Building Surveying

2020

Despite the advancements in digital technologies, the current building design examination practice is 2D and paper-based, and a large number of 2D plans and drawings need to be collated and interpreted to examine if the proposed designs comply with building regulations. Subsequently, it is prone to human errors that make sustainable and consistent design difficult. Although Building Information Modelling (BIM) is recognised as a means to transform the current practice into a more sustainable and productive practice, BIM has rarely been adopted in building design examination. This research aims to identify the reasons for the low uptake of BIM and to examine the feasibility of BIM for building design examination through a focus group interview and workshop. A lack of proper BIM training is identified as the most critical barrier to adopting BIM. Building design examiners indicate that BIM adoption requires consistent efforts with empirical errors, since the existing work processes are not flexible enough to embrace BIM instantly without proper BIM training. An average of three days can be saved by using BIM for a building regulations check. This research revealed that BIM is feasible for building regulation checking, and the low uptake is mainly caused by a lack of awareness of the BIM capabilities.
