Abstract:
Today, in construction practice, implementation of effective construction management techniques and tools is becoming essential, especially as the scale of the projects increases. Large scale projects pose a challenge to industry; as the number of tasks, parameters and constraints to be considered rises, interaction of these tasks and parameters increases the complexity, as well. While the search for techniques and tools for better coping with complexity will never end, Building Information Modeling (BIM) has recently emerged as an approach that achieves considerable improvement in efficiently handling complexity. BIM is able to provide a digital visualization of a building or structure in 3D. The necessary geometric data is modeled but more importantly all semantic data associated with the project (function of the element, material properties, construction details, schedules, etc.) is stored with the model. The intent is to have a single model of the project for all stakeholders over all phases of the project. In this study, the main challenges within the current practice of project management are analyzed and what BIM-based project management has to offer to those challenges have been discussed. The thesis explores how BIM method can be applied to project management and how information can be collected to build a BIM model. The advantages of BIM-based scheduling (4D), cost estimation (5D), sustainability (6D), facility management (7D) and structural analysis in the scope of project management is discussed. A case study is given to validate the use of the computer aided programs for nD BIM during the construction phase.
