Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a follow-up of the first Special Issue, entitled “Building Information Modelling (BIM) Applications in Construction Management” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/buildings/special_issues/UKS5G76I9K), published in Buildings.
Applying building information modelling (BIM) in construction management processes can benefit multiple project parties or stakeholders by integrating project information into multiple 3D or nD intelligent models. Accordingly, BIM can act as a strong basis for sharing and transferring project information among different users and for supporting more effective and more accurate decision making in construction management processes. Therefore, the research and development of building information modelling (BIM) applications is now one of the most important and useful areas in the field of construction management due to its potential benefits and the nature of innovation. This Special Issue welcomes submissions of the latest research developments and implementations of BIM technology and applications throughout the entire construction management processes, including demolition, pre-construction, construction, and post-construction stages. The Special Issue seeks papers on BIM applications in all related areas of construction management, including, but not limited to, clash detection, quantity take-off and cost estimates, project schedule and control, safety prediction and simulation, quality assurance, team collaboration, subcontracting, and material supplies and fabrication. It also explores the relationship between BIM/virtual design and construction (VDC) and other emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning, robotics for surveying, digital twins, virtual reality, Internet of Things (IoT), lean construction and construction cloud, etc. We invite submissions of both original research and critical reviews that address the above.
