Advances in the Building Information Modelling

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce the call for papers for a Special Issue on "Advances on Building Information Modelling." Building Information Modelling (BIM) has emerged as a transformative technology in the field of construction and architecture, revolutionizing the way projects are designed, constructed, and managed. This Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research and advancements in BIM, providing a platform for scholars, practitioners, and industry professionals to share their insights and contribute to the development of this rapidly evolving field.

We invite original research papers, reviews, case studies, and perspectives that address various aspects of BIM, including but not limited to:

• BIM implementation and adoption strategies;
• BIM for sustainable design and construction;
• BIM-based project collaboration and coordination;
• BIM interoperability and data integration;
• BIM-enabled construction automation and robotics;
• BIM for prefabrication and modular construction;
• BIM-driven design optimization and simulation;
• BIM and artificial intelligence applications.

This Special Issue offers an exceptional opportunity to showcase your research findings, methodologies, and practical applications related to BIM. We encourage submissions that highlight novel approaches, theoretical frameworks, empirical studies, and real-world experiences that can significantly contribute to the advancement of BIM and its applications in the construction industry.
