The object oriented modelling of building design concepts

Application of Building Information Modelling and Construction Process Simulation Ensuring Virtual Project Development Concept in 5D Environment

“…The component modeling technology [1] allows working in parallel with all design data at the level of data components covering the entire design cycle on the scale of a users group. Engineering components are graphical numerical models of real objects.…”

“…The base of this technology is made up of the 3D graphical-information model [1], [2], [3] covering the following: building geometrical model; its physical properties (materials, etc. ); functional peculiarities of its components.…”

“…With the growth of information technologies in the field of construction industry over the last years, numerical building information modeling and process simulation has evolved to a fully accepted and widely used tool for project life circle management [1], [2]. A growing diversity between disciplines, participants, tasks, tools and events while project management in design and construction stages [3], the rising pressure of costing competition and tighter production deadlines, together with consistently increasing quality requirements and necessity of technological enhancements, have been the driving force of information modeling and numerical simulation in building industry.…”

“…It is evident, that traditional procedures of the project development with limited use of the IT solutions [1], [2], [3], [4] leads to waste of time for documentation checking, drawing and redrawing, long duration of variation orders resolution during both design and construction stages [8]. The opportunity to have wide analysis and synthesis of alternatives is very limited there.…”

The use of a virtual building design and construction model for developing an effective project concept in 5D environment

“…The basis of this technology is the 3D graphical-information model [5,9,33], covering the following issues: a geometrical model of the building, its physical properties (materials, etc.) and functional peculiarities of its components.…”
