The BIM in Practice in the Real World
Abstract
The construction industry is undergoing rapid technological advancements with the introduction of Building Information Modeling (BIM) which has the potential to revolutionize building design, construction, and
operation. Despite their potential, these technologies are not yet put into practice to the maximum
potential by all the users around the world.
This research explores the current state of BIM in the construction industry and the different types of
processes undertaken by BIM professionals to enhance the efficiency and productivity of a project.
The study revolves around some of the parameters such as accuracy, efficiency, quality, and time. This is
done through several different case studies across different verticals of construction. The journey shows us
a unique perspective that the BIM teams have adopted to take the project to a higher level.
It also depicts the need to usage of automation although there is a need to have a balance and there should
be a clear understanding of when to rely on automation.
