Abstract:
Due to lack of use of BIM (Building Information Modelling) in the construction industry
in Pakistan a number of clashes and conflicts arise during the execution of the project
hereby leading to the cost overruns and delays. Both cost overrun and delays can be
controlled if BIM is deployed in the planning and design phase hereby paving the way for
the smooth conduct of various activities involved in the project life cycle. The clash
detection tool of the BIM provides us with an opportunity to visualize the clashes in the
earlier stages of the project and hence pragmatic solution can be provided for countering
the clashes in the execution phase of the project. Being a developing country both due to
lack of awareness and availability of material such engineering materials are used in the
construction of the structure which lead to increased energy consumption and it is one of
the major issues of the high-rise buildings. The other part of the study focuses on energy
efficiency. It sheds light on the importance of orientation and construction material of the
building. The study reveals the importance of BIM with regards to the Project Integration
Management. The effects of project integration management on the other two knowledge
areas of time and cost have been analyzed in this case study. The case study was undertaken
with the help of Autodesk Revit 2023 and Autodesk Navisworks Manage 2023. Modelling
and Energy Analysis were done using Autodesk Revit 2023. The clash detection was
performed using the same Autodesk Revit Model in a different format inthe Autodesk
Navisworks Manage 2023.
