Abstract EN
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the use of virtual building information models to develop building design solutions and design documentation and to analyse construction processes.
Recent advances in IT have enabled advanced knowledge management, which in turn facilitates sustainability and improves asset management in the civil construction industry.
There are several important qualifiers and some disadvantages of the current suite of technologies.
This paper outlines the benefits, enablers, and barriers associated with BIM and makes suggestions about how these issues may be addressed.
The paper highlights the advantages of BIM, particularly the increased utility and speed, enhanced fault finding in all construction phases, and enhanced collaborations and visualisation of data.
The paper additionally identifies a range of issues concerning the implementation of BIM as follows: IP, liability, risks, and contracts and the authenticity of users.
Implementing BIM requires investment in new technology, skills training, and development of new ways of collaboration and Trade Practices concerns.
However, when these challenges are overcome, BIM as a new information technology promises a new level of collaborative engineering knowledge management, designed to facilitate sustainability and asset management issues in design, construction, asset management practices, and eventually decommissioning for the civil engineering industry.
