“…working in confined spaces) (Rodrigues et al, 2017). Cases of advanced BIM maturity in the construction stages have demonstrated the technology's inherent aptitude to be successfully applied to H&S planning and accident prevention (Ganah and John, 2015;Kim et al, 2016;Takim et al, 2016;Cavka et al, 2017;Fadeyi, 2017;Getuli et al, 2017). Wetzel and Thabet (2015) were amongst prominent H&S-BIM pioneers and identified five key categories of H&S monitoring capabilities using: i) BIM design; ii) BIM 4D simulation; iii) rules algorithms; iv) VR based visualisation and hazard identification; and v) design for safety with BIM authoring tools.…”

Purpose This paper aims to report upon the further development of a hybrid application programming interface (API) plug-in to building information modelling (BIM) entitled confined spaces safety monitoring system “CoSMoS”. Originally designed to engineer-out environmental hazards associated with working in a building’s confined spaces (during the construction phase of a building’s life-cycle), this second generation version is expanded upon to use archival records to proactively learn from data generated within a sensor network during the building’s operations and maintenance (O&M) phase of asset management (AM). Design/methodology/approach An applied research methodological approach adopted used a two-phase process. In phase one, a conceptual model was created to provide a “blueprint map” to integrate BIM, sensor-based networks and data analytics (DA) into one integral system. A literature review provided the basis for the conceptual model’s further development. In phase two, the conceptual model was transposed into the prototype’s development environment as a proof of concept using primary data accrued from a large educational building. Findings An amalgamation of BIM, historical sensor data accrued and the application of DA demonstrate that CoSMoS provides an opportunity for the facilities management (FM) team to monitor pertinent environmental conditions and human behaviour within buildings that may impact upon occupant/worker safety. Although working in confined spaces is used to demonstrate the inherent potential of CoSMoS, the system could readily be expanded to analyse sensor-based network’s historical data of other areas of building performance, maintenance and safety. Originality/value This novel prototype has automated safety applications for FM during the asset lifecycle and maintenance phase of a building’s O&M phase of AM. Future work is proposed in several key areas, namely, develop instantaneous indicators of current safety performance within a building; and develop lead indicators of future safety performance of buildings.

“…Nowadays, the use of photogrammetric and topographic surveys supports the detection of deformations, out of plumb and kinematic mechanisms. Recent BIM approaches for Cultural Heritage investigated the potentiality of these methods for geometric, stratigraphic and structural damage survey [15][16][17]. While, other laboratory and in-situ tests, even if relevant for the continuous process of knowledge, do not still find a complete collocation in the HBIMaided refurbishment of historic buildings [12].…”

The article concerns the implementation of the HBIM approach (Historic Building Information Modeling) for the refurbishment and preservation of historic buildings. The scientific and technical community confirmed the efficacy of BIM tools for knowledge managing and sharing, still noting a limited research of Building Conditions Assessment in HBIM. Starting with observed criticalities and potentialities, we propose a method for sharing and re-using information acquired through archival analysis, damage survey and diagnostic investigation. Therefore, we formalize the information requirements as input in BIM model and sharing modes for project and construction management.

Rapidly growing building information modelling (BIM) in construction offers a number of advantages and new opportunities of improving efficiency and effectiveness of the construction process and enhancing the use of emerging technology throughout the project’s lifecycle, not only in new buildings, but also in existing ones, including overall infrastructure. Recently, there has been a great number of publications discussing BIM advantages in construction. A number of review papers summarising BIM usage cases have been published. However, as the preliminary research shows, not all organizations use BIM because of its disadvantages. Therefore, the main aim of this research is to study the extent of available literature on BIM, to determine the current situation of BIM usage, and summarise publications related to the application of BIM. The current study is limited solely to papers available in SpringerLink, ScienceDirect and Thomson Reuters Web of Sciences scientific databases. The obtained results make it clear that BIM case studies and research in academic journals show high level of BIM implementation in practice, and advantages of BIM. However, there are some limitations of BIM usage in practice. Moreover, new trends in the evolving BIM are presented and discussed in this paper.
