Description
Summary:The conventional approach to project management in construction industry is based on multiple specialized software tools which have very limited capability of data exchange. The BIM methodology allows for co-operation and data transfers among various member subsystems relying on IFC which supports construction designing with CAD, FEM, and construction planning using PMS. The most challenging obstacles to full integration are of two kinds: methodological/technical and business related. The business-related problems result from high costs of a complete analysis and software tools. These challenges can be overcome with Open BIM, an approach proposed by the authors, which is based on the model decomposition and independent processing resulting from combination of the design and management processes awareness of the building features. This survey includes both proposed systems and the underlying concepts in Polish construction context.[b]Keywords: [/b]construction, buildings, projects, BIM, CAD, FEM, PMS
