Abstract:
Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been a great innovation in construction industry. It has revolutionized the architecture and construction fields. Most of the world is moving towards advancement in technologies and modernization in computer techniques. This includes all the data integration that leads to reduction in work greatly. It is the method of documenting all the data of the construction project in such a manner that it integrates all the departments. As a result the handling of data has become very effective. In the construction industry the two main stakeholders the contractor and the client are in search of these things. The contractor wants the project time to be reduced and the owner wants to spend as less as possible. Along with it certain models are prepared prior to the execution of the project during the planning phase, which give detailed visualizations of the project that given that at the very start of the project all the stakeholders are having a very good idea of what the end product would be.
The report opens with a detailed introduction about BIM; its different dimensions, advantages, limitations along with the detailed description of subject matter. It proceeds with a literature review of BIM by different surveys. The literature review explains the benefits and barriers which are hindering BIM’s implementation. The results of surveys are being discussed. The research will lead towards the use of BIM in the local industries. The importance, barriers and problems regarding implementation of BIM.
A case study is done of whose methodology is described in detail, which comprises of designing of a 5D project and completing all its details i.e., from plans up to its 3D modeling, which is visualization of project, cost estimation, time taken to make complete end product. Energy efficiency and sustainability analysis are the major areas of application in regard to our project.
