“…This is particularly important in some construction sites located in central urban areas, where there are constraints regarding the delivery of components or operation of transportation equipment, including working times or number of deliveries per day (König et al 2011). Choi et al (2014) suggested a workspace planning process in a 4D BIM environment that considers characteristics of activity, workspace, and construction plan.…”

“…Several previous studies have investigated the use of fourdimensional (4D) modelling to support production management in construction such as workspace planning (Choi et al 2014), detection of spatial and temporal conflicts (Kassem et al 2015), testing alternative sequences of tasks (Chau et al 2004), resource utilization management (Wang et al 2004), construction schedules and site space arrangement (Ma et al 2005), site material supply (Yu et al 2016), internal site logistics (Bortolini et al 2019), and analysis of the impacts of conflicts on health and safety (Zhang et al 2015). However, none of those studies have fully addressed the role of logistics management in the integration between the production and delivery of prefabricated building components and site assembly.…”

Model for planning and controlling the delivery and assembly of engineer-to-order prefabricated building systems: exploring synergies between Lean and BIM

The adoption of prefabricated building systems has grown due to the need to reduce duration and cost of construction projects, as well as to improve quality and working conditions. However, the adoption of those systems requires an intense exchange of information to integrate the production of components, logistics operations, and site assembly. This is particularly important in engineer-to-order environments, in which the level of uncertainty tends to be high. This research proposes a model for planning and controlling the delivery and assembly of ETO prefabricated building systems, emphasizing the integration between site installation and logistics operations. This model was devised in an empirical study carried out in a company that delivers and assembles prefabricated concrete structures. The main theoretical contribution is a set of approaches to implement the “pull production” and “reduce variability” principles in this particular context, exploring synergies that exist between Lean Production principles and Building Information Modeling (BIM) functionalities.

“…For the optimization, the authors used GA. Similar studies and active BIM-ready approaches were presented in [18][19][20], while in [21,22] the BIM's potentials in terms of its further development were presented. A more extensive review of applied active BIM approaches, not only those concerned with tower crane or construction site layout optimization, is given in [23].…”

Active BIM Approach to Optimize Work Facilities and Tower Crane Locations on Construction Sites with Repetitive Operations

This paper presents an active building information modeling (BIM) approach for work facilities and the optimal positioning of tower cranes on construction sites with repetitive operations. In this context, the metamorphosis of a passive BIM approach into an active approach is described. Here, the enhancement of the construction-ready BIM model starts with the export of the optimization input parameters, such as the 3D coordinates of the building, perimeter of the construction site, space for feasible solutions, relevant segment of the building with repetitive works, etc. Depending on the complexity of the problem, the user selects a suitable optimization approach and formulates the tower crane positioning optimization problem with the objective of minimizing the total duration of the operation’s cycle. Similarly, according to the model formulation, the user also chooses the optimization tool, including the search algorithm. The final step involves the post-optimal analysis and importing of the optimal solution into the BIM. An application example is demonstrated at the end of the paper to show the advantages of the proposed approach in which the optimization model has significantly improved the initial solution of the crane and depot positions.

“…Similar approaches are also applicable to more specialised requirements. Choi et al [40] as well as Chavada et al [41] have applied it to the problem of work-space planning and management; in both cases, a single BIM environment was utilised to enable nD modelling and resolve conflicts. Addressing more technical issues, Kim et al developed a framework that enables the dimensional and surface quality assessment of precast concrete elements [42]; as a key part of the work involved primary data collection via laser scanning, the focus of the framework was not BIM per se, but I/O interoperability with a BIM system.…”

BIM-based tools can contribute to addressing some of the challenges faced by structural engineering practitioners. A BIM-based framework for the development of components that deliver Automatic Code Compliance (ACC) is presented. The structural design problems that such components solve are categorised as simple, where ACC can be implemented directly, or complex, where more advanced approaches are needed. The mathematical process of Multi-Dimensional Data Fitting (MDDF) is introduced in order for the latter, enabling the compression of complex engineering calculations to a single equation that can be easily implemented into a BIM software engineering package. Proof-ofconcept examples are given for both cases: offsite manufactured structural joists are utilised as a nonrecursive example, implementing the results obtained in the manufacturer's literature; the axial capacity of metal fasteners in axially loaded timber-to-timber connections are utilised as an example of recursive problems. The MDDF analysis and the implementation in a BIM package of those problems are presented. Finally, the concept is generalised for non-structural aspects at a framework level, and the challenges, implications, and prospects of ACC in a BIM context are discussed.
