Understanding the Concept of Building Information Modeling: A Literature Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Building Information Modelling (BIM) has existed more than 20 years. BIM was introduced to enhance project delivery and as a productivity tool in the construction industry. However, there are various definitions of BIM, depending on the researcher’s personal experience and understanding, which may vary from country to country. This paper intends to revisit the concept of BIM including the definition, history, maturity and capability models, uses, and advantages. A conceptual understanding has been proposed in this paper based on an extensive literature review. It is hoped that the concept highlighted in this paper will encourage positive debate on BIM and gain some attention from the practitioners and researchers at large.
