PROJECT MANAGEMENT

The emergence of computer-aided design (CAD)

drastically changed the AEC industry with its low-
cost subscription and the benefits it provides,
especially in the design phase of a construction
project. Even to this date, CAD appears to be the
most used design software in the Philippines'
AEC industry.

BIM
BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING
(BIM)

It is the holistic process of creating and

managing information for a built asset. Based
on an intelligent model and enabled by a
cloud platform, BIM integrates structured,
multi-disciplinary data to produce a digital
representation of an asset across its lifecycle,
from planning and design to construction and
operations.
COMPUTER APPLICATION IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT

BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING

(BIM)

The use of the Building Information Modeling

system results in enhanced efficiencies during
the construction process itself. Construction
methods, sequences, and details can be
studied using the modeling process, resulting
in fewer mistakes, fewer changes, and,
ultimately, shorter construction schedules. The
software allows for complete material takeoffs
to be generated, eliminating the painstaking
process of calculating material quantities by
hand.
 COMPUTER APPLICATION IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT

WHY BIM IS IMPORTANT?

BIM not only allows design and
construction teams to work more
efficiently, but it allows them to capture the
data they create during the process to
benefit operations and maintenance
activities. This is why BIM mandates are
increasing across the globe.

BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING
BENEFITS
BIM software was originally
developed for the use of design
professionals. However, over the
last few years, construction
contractors have become the
largest consumers of BIM, as it
represents the best and most
innovative new tool for improving
productivity on site and reducing
risk.
WARSAW'S COMPLEX
OFFICE
CZMOCH AND PEKALA (2014)
Ten designers are involved in the project, three of whom
(the leaders of architecture, construction, and MEP) have
experience using the software. The study shows that the
design process has been estimated to be 10% faster and
80% more accurate than traditional design. When
collisions were detected, a conference meeting between
designers helped rectify the problem smoothly. In
conclusion, no collisions were detected during the
construction, and fewer redesigns, revisions, and
changes were found. There were no extraneous or
incompatible elements, and the material quantity was
consistent. The time consumed for the project
decreased by 30%.
BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING
SCHEDULING
BIM allows the AEC industry to provide
visuals prior to construction, simulate,
estimate, analyze, and design more
efficiently and accurately.
The development of the schedule for the project is
the most important part of the whole process of a
construction project since each stage is linked to
the next, from design to implementation to
inspection and control.
BIM allows the construction project to be matched
with the delivery system.
BIM facilitates project management by addressing
constructability issues.
The schedule can be seen ahead of time so that the
next step, including the required resources,
equipment needed onsite, and capital requirements,
is known.
BIM helped during the actual monitoring of the
project, the work schedule generated shows reliable
data, and it helped in managerial decision-making.
The merits were concluded to be improved
collaboration among parties, reduced rework, and
effective decision-making strategies.
BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING

The efficiency of the transfer of information

will not directly make the project better, but it
will contribute to efficient work methods.
BIM implementation promotes efficient
communication and continuous collaboration
between organizations and project
participants.
BIM's ability to save data online on drives such
as cloud servers allows others to access the
data online.
Sharing data about the design allows others to

the building information will be eliminated as
each party has a copy of the data.

BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING
CLASH DETECTION
The three common construction problems
encountered in a building project in Taiwan
(space, measurement, and clash) can be
eased using BIM (Yang et al., 2013).
When using BIM, problems can be detected easily,
changes in the measurement can be made instantly
while maintaining the consistency of the data, and
clashes can be detected accurately.
BIM is based on the algorithm used in the gaming
industry and computer graphics in collision
detection.
TIME AND COST-EFFICIENT
CLASH DETECTION CATEGORIES
1. HEAVY COLLISION
Pertains to two elements occupying the same space.
2. LIGHT COLLISION
Means that the area requires space, whether for
installation or maintenance.
3. TECHNOLOGICAL COLLISION
Refers to the clash between the delivery of materials,
the schedule of workers, and the time needed to complete
the construction phase.
BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING

The time needed for detailing the design and

the possibility of human errors decreased with
the help of BIM.
This productivity is achieved through the clear
visualization of component assembly and the
eradication of field conflicts.
Enhancing coordination and collaboration
among project stakeholders will help to boost
adaptability and accessibility in order to
accelerate and effectively integrate the
process.
BIM software would lead to an overall

BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING

TRIPLE CONSTRAINTS
One of the primary concerns
of clients in a project was the
balance of the three
constraints (time, cost, and
quality).
One must take advantage of
the use of BIM in a project in
order to maximize the benefits
of the triple constraints.
TIME AND COST
BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING
The implementation of BIM on a
project can help conserve time and
cost through different factors, such as
the transparency and collaboration of
different participants in the project,
ordering materials efficiently,
increasing time efficiency, successful
delivery of the project, and saving
documentation time.
GROUP 11- CMPM
BIM reduces rework, conflicts, and
delays in the project. It also saves on
the documentation phase since a
single model contains all the database
and information about the whole
project. Acceleration of the design
process and structure calculation is
the main factor that reduces the time
and cost of construction work.
 BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING
QUALITY
There is a massive amount of design
information in the building business,
and design evaluation and quality
assurance should be carried out to
deal with it. Continuous quality
inspections should be performed
during the design stage, and a BIM-
based quality check is an excellent
technique to accomplish this.
GROUP 11- CMPM
BIM software can help improve the
design quality and validity of outputs,
as well as the efficacy of quality
assurance. BIM produces higher-
quality construction products and
improves process efficiency across
the phases of the project and that
various BIM technologies can be used
to implement BIM in projects.
