Achieving integrated project design using building information modeling (BIM)

Construction industry is labelled as an industry with poor technology enhancement and inefficiency in the design process. In order to increase efficiency in construction industry; various delivery approaches have been introduced. However that does not solved the problem that the industry faced. Cons...

In order to increase efficiency in construction industry; various delivery approaches have been introduced. However that does not solved the problem that the industry faced. Construction industry is seem do not capitalised the benefit of visualisation and communication technology to the fullest extent. Construction industry requires new approaches to improve its current performance. The integrated design method is one of the option that can improved design development process for construction project such as by using Building Information Modeling system to provide a collaborative working platform. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the importance of engaging integrated design in construction projects and also evaluate the potential of implementing of BIM to support integrated design in local construction industry. The data are collected through literature review, case study and questionnaire survey. The result of this study has determined the used of BIM is very important in construction as it has many benefit to improve design performance. Other than it is obvious BIM has strong potential to be used to support integrated and collaborative design process. 2012-01 Thesis http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/29844/ http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/29844/5/TanMeiYingMFKA2012.pdf application/pdf en public masters Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Civil Engineering Faculty of Civil Engineering
