Abstract EN
This paper presents an innovative approach to e-procurement in construction, which uses building information models (BIM) to support the construction procurement process.
The result is an integrated and electronic instrument connected to a rich knowledge base capable of advanced operations and able to strengthen transaction relationships and collaboration throughout the supply chain.
The BIM-based e-procurement prototype has been developed using distinct existing electronic solutions and an IFC server and was tested in a pilot case study, which supported further discussions of the results of the research.
