“…This theme gives important insight into the barriers of the adoption process and mainly contributes to developing directions for future studies. While there is a rich literature on technology acceptance [55,56] and BIM adoption [57][58][59], there are a few systematic investigations of technology acceptance for lean purposes. Each theme will be discussed in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 Figure 9 shows the frequency of themes and critical concepts discussed in three databases.…”

There is a need to apply lean approaches in construction projects. Both BIM and IoT are increasingly being used in the construction industry. However, using BIM in conjunction with IoT for sustainability purposes has not received enough attention in construction. In particular, the capability created from the combination of both technologies has not been exploited. There is a growing consensus that the future of construction operation tends to be smart and intelligent, which would be possible by a combination of both information systems and sensors. This investigation aims to find out the recent efforts of utilizing BIM for lean purposes in the last decade by critically reviewing the published literature and identifying dominant clusters of research topics. More specifically, the investigation is further developed by identifying the gaps in the literature to utilize IoT in conjunction with BIM in construction projects to facilitate applying lean techniques in a more efficient way in construction projects. A systematic review method was designed to identify scholarly papers covering both concepts “lean” and “BIM” in construction and possibilities of using IoT. A total of 48 scholarly articles selected from 26 construction journals were carefully reviewed thorough perusal. The key findings were discussed with industry practitioners. The transcriptions were analyzed employing two coding and cluster analysis techniques. The results of the cluster analysis show two main directions, including the recent practice of lean and BIM interactions and issues of lean and BIM adoption. Findings revealed a large synergy between lean and BIM in control interactions and reduction in variations, and surprisingly there are many uncovered areas in this field. The results also show that the capability of IoT is also largely not considered in recent developments. The number of papers covering both lean and BIM is very limited, and there is a large clear gap in understanding synergetic interactions of lean concepts applying in BIM and IoT in specific fields of construction such as sustainable infrastructure projects.

“…The process of finding the clashes in models is known as clash detection (Bhagwat and Shinde, 2016). Clash detection helps in identifying errors and mistakes as well as any possible constructability issues which potentially contributes to the occurrence of the change order and rework (Ibrahim et al, 2019) which indirectly affect the original plan and resulting to the additional project time and extra cost.…”

Building Information Modelling (BIM) has become an attention-grabbing topic among researchers and industry players around the world including Malaysia. As the construction industry always plaguing with issues related to massive waste generated from construction and demolition process, encouraging BIM implementation is considered as one of the available technology-based alternatives to encounter these issues. BIM is a type of technology that offers the development of construction project before the real construction process, which allows the identification of any issues earlier, throughout the design and planning phases. Currently, numerous researches have been focusing on the benefits offered by BIM to the construction industry. However, there are still several construction players who lack awareness of BIM's contribution, especially towards sustainability. The purpose of this paper is to explore the awareness of contractors in Malaysia on the contribution of BIM towards sustainability, namely economic, environmental and social. A total of 133 contractors from grade G1 to G7 were involved in a survey. The results revealed that majority of the respondents were aware on BIM contributions towards environmental sustainability, besides other two sustainability pillars, economic and social. Thereby, there is a need to educate and provide realistic information to the construction industry stakeholders, as a process to create a better understanding and wider exposure, and to convince them to implement BIM technology.

“…In design phase, the direct and immediate consequences by using BIM are reducing the time, increase the quality and this led to decrease of the enterprise total cost [14]. Some of other benefits to use BIM in design stage are concepts becomes clearer and project conceptualization easier, earlier and more accurate visualizations of a design to the owner, support decision making regarding the design, improve simulations and coordination, improve mistake identification thus reducing conflict errors, improve lean in design, save design time and cost, risk reeducation and enhance accuracy of existing documentation [15].…”

“…After completing the design process, the Revit model is updated from Robot, where the direct link between Revit and Robot provides the ability to transfer reinforcement designed at Robot for columns and beams to Revit as shown in Fig (15). Within Revit, modelling reinforcement based on Etabs design results necessitates using the Naviate Rebar Extension tool (Naviate REX) to draw reinforcement of columns and beams, as well as the Rebar tool that is available inside Revit to draw reinforcement of slabs based on their design at Robot and Etabs, as shown in Fig ( 16 and 17).…”

In the construction industry, using of traditional methods to design and perform the works with participation of different disciplines by individual method make the design of structure more pruched to errors and mistakes and increase the possibility of generate the wastes due to need sometimes to re- work. In addition to the continuous change of designs, and this needed to updating documents and plans manually to keep pace with these changes, thus wasting time and effort, so this considers "inefficient" practice. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an innovative technology that makes the design phase and construction industry more efficient to achieve the requirements of sustainability. A case study was taken to investigate the possibility of using BIM technology and structural analysis softwares (Robot and Etabs) in the structural design stage, where a model is modeled in the Revit software, and it is exported to Robot and Etabs softwares for the purpose of analysis and design, which showed close design results between these design softwares with a slight difference in the amount of rebar, about 4% more by using the Etabs software for all the structure. All the process performed from modelling to analysis and design then extracting schemas and quantity estimation for reinforcement and concrete was done in a short time and with satisfactory results.
