| dc.description.abstract | The Construction projects have made various
attempts to reduce wastages (cost, time, quality), in
order to avoid the disputes that has the possibility to
force the economy and difficult to indicate growth
of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) index. Now
a days, most of the on-going projects are delayed
due to those events. The application of Building
Information Modeling (BIM) has been increasingly
adopted to overcome situation as potential solution.
BIM is not a single piece of software, but a new form
of information processing and collaboration, with
data embedded within the model. Each discipline
or organization creates its own model, and these
are subsequently amalgamated to provide a
combined view of the project. Consequently, this is
an area where all stakeholders can involve with the
project in different stages in the construction. The world has practiced the BIM in many years in the
construction. This study explores to review BIM
application in Sri Lankan construction industry
based on case studies of three construction
projects, which are using BIM practices. Data will
be collected by interviewing three participants from
each of selected on-going construction projects.
Based on the case study findings and preliminary
review, a framework will be developed for BIM
application in construction projects which can lead
to an effective and efficient management system
in construction practice and comparison with the
world practice. | en_US |
