Benefits and challenges encountered in utilization building information modelling in construction projects

Building Information Modelling (BIM) has become a well-known established extensive collaborative process and an important area of development in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) and has expanded beyond all disciplines. The use of BIM in construction projects can arguably improve the quality of information needed to make important design decisions to assess the impact of a building on the environment. The analysis, design and infrastructure of buildings are formulated with BIM-based designs. The BIM method fits well with delivery systems for integrated projects. This analysis aims to show the relevance of the roles of BIM and the project manager in construction projects. It insists on the importance of proper knowledge and experience of project managers to achieve success with BIM. The paper discusses the implementation of BIM, static design, and the inherent challenges of trying to estimate benefits in a purely quantitative way. Through the application of BIM technology to dynamic enquiries and the statistical study of construction schedules, design, resources, and costs, these three implementations are considered proven, as BIM can facilitate the understanding of project implementation and progress.
