Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The current digital transformation, required in the construction industry, has been driving greater recognition of the benefits of BIM methodology implementation in the sector. Recent research points to the identification of organizational theoretical concepts (new ifc objects or classification systems) or to BIM programming in the development of specific scripts and extensions with the ability to act over the BIM model that is generated for each building project. The range of practical applicability of BIM has covered a growing range of sectors, stages or tasks (design, cost estimation, construction planning or risk safety), incrementing the adoption of BIM in all construction-related activities. Contributions to this Special Issue should present innovative applications in building or infrastructure cases and in strategic classifications or practical guides.
