Dynamo Based Risk Management Plugin

Abstract

Construction project are riddled with risks because of the very nature of this industry. These risks need to be effectively managed so that the project is completed within the triple constraints of time, quality and scope. However, contemporary approach to risk management is reactive. That is to say risks are dealt with after they’ve occurred. This leads to inflated costs, delayed schedules etc. In the recent years, BIM has emerged as a revolutionary tool for the construction industry; among its many capabilities is operations management. Since the traditional approach clearly is not the answer to risk management, the answer lies in sophisticated software tools that are complemented by BIM. We’ve aimed at developing such a kind of dynamo based plugin, which facilitates project managers to set aside calculated contingency amounts to be used for risk management.
