Cost-benefit analysis of BIM-enabled design clash detection and resolution

“…The schema presented in the study was successfully developed using a blend of literature and interviews with experts and implemented in the case study of the interface of two projects where they physically interfaced: project A, a rail tunnel infrastructure; and project B, a boulevard street with underground car park facilities, roads and utilities. Van der Vlist et al (2014) discussed the relevance of information and communication technology adoption for firms to benefit in their production costs, but as stated by Sacks (2016), this is not a linear process, and consideration of distinct production and construction flows is needed to identify their overall influence on construction performance. This paper developed an approach to inform BIM processes benefit to the overall workflow.…”

“…Besides, IT leads to flexibility and improves the planning, organization and control of work. [29]. Ramlan and Ahmed [30] believed information technology (IT) is critical to Malaysia's economic growth.…”

Advanced ICT Methodologies (AIM) in the Construction Industry

“…Evidence shows that such slow uptake of cutting-edge methodologies is for the most part stemmed from a lack of support of practitioners in the construction industry exacerbated by clients being uninformed of the advantages of available methods for their projects (Cao, Li, & Wang, 2014). In essence, major barriers to widespread adoption of new technology in the construction industry have roots in lack of familiarity of clients, managers and company directors with AIM, and the potential benefits envisaged for utilizing such technology as observed by Van der Vlist, Vrolijk, and Dewulf (2014). As asserted by Williams (2007, p. 6) one barrier to adoption of AIM is "Lack of knowledge by people in the construction industry about what is possible.".…”
