Interdisciplinary Framework: A Building Information Modeling Using Structural Equation Analysis in Lean Construction Project Management

Abstract

The construction process and construction management are highly reliant on the interaction between the triple constraints of project management of quality: scope, time, and cost. The industry has incorporated certain principles and technology, such as lean-based construction principles and Building Information Modeling (BIM), to maximize the time, quality, and cost-efficiency of various construction projects. Analysis and assessment of the factors and functionalities are needed to show their synergic relationships and determine their significant impact on the construction project using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). To gather information, a survey was conducted on the different construction companies in the Philippines. The results generated a model interrelating the triple constraints of project management and how they are affected by incorporating BIM and lean construction principles. The models created established a significant relationship towards all the tripe constraints considering both individual and combined functionalities and factors. An interdisciplinary framework incorporating both BIM and lean principles is conformed to optimize construction stages based on the triple constraints of project management.

Supply Chain Strategy in Philippine Construction Industry: A Case Study of Joint Risk Management Approach during the COVID-19 Pandemic

“…Despite price increases, XYZ Construction Corporation retains clients via openness and communication. In the findings of Silva et al, the triple constraints significantly impact the project, supporting the claims on streamlined networks of communication, the dynamics, and flexibility of triple constraints in a quality project delivery [18]. XYZ Construction Corporation was hurt by the supplier's price increase.…”

“…Without supplies and equipment, workers are unable to function, and a human resource deficit results in delays and increased costs. The triple constraints such as time, budget, and scope are related with their distinct and combined functionality and elements in such a way that they impact one another, particularly in construction projects according to Silva et al [18].…”

“…In a pandemic, communication is challenging. According to research conducted by Aneesa et al and Silva et al, enhancing contractor communication and guaranteeing firm continuity helps stakeholders and improve productivity on-site, reducing problems [18,19]. The researchers found that the organization's success is contingent upon regular interaction with employees.…”

Lean-BIM Collaborative Approach for Sustainable Construction Projects in Malaysia

“…Whilst, for safety and risks management, the Lean-BIM approach allows errors identification in design drawing involving structural element at early stage, subsequently expects the higher probabilities of identifying potential conflicts. Therefore, the implementation of both Lean Construction and BIM will crucially influence the construction project performance, starting from the project inception to the project completion as the number of critical issues that arise throughout the project is significantly reduced [42]. Consequently, cost reduction, efficient workflow and quality improvement are three main benefits of integrating these two methodologies [38].…”
