Application of Building Information Modelling in Construction Management
This special issue belongs to the section “Construction Management, and Computers & Digitization“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Buildings, devoted to the latest developments in building information modeling (BIM) and its applications in construction management. Submissions of original scientific works and review papers focused on the latest developments of BIM are welcome.
For more than a decade, BIM has arguably been one of the fastest-growing approaches in the construction industry and, as such, an important driver of the current industrial revolution commonly referred to as Construction 4.0, leading us towards the industry's fifth revolution. The dynamic connection of the BIM model with input–output real-time data exchange between construction sites and management provides a lean and productive approach to construction project management. The main goal yet is to establish a holistic, dynamic approach to integrating BIM in everyday applications to benefit the overall success of construction.
In this perspective, we invite you to publish your related work in this Special Issue.
