Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Buildings aims to foster academic dialog and innovation on focused topics surrounding the integration of building information modeling (BIM) and AI agent technologies using large language models (LLMs) and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to enhance construction and project management. As construction processes become increasingly complex and data driven, AI agents capable of autonomous reasoning and decision making can extend the potential of BIM by automating construction management, building operation and maintenance processes, and schedule and resource management.
We invite original research, reviews, and case studies that demonstrate how BIM and AI agent integration can improve efficiency, quality, and decision making in construction. Topics may include energy and resource management, intelligent scheduling, rule-based quality checking, predictive maintenance, digital twin integration, generative AI design and human–AI collaboration in construction environments.
All submissions will undergo MDPI’s standard peer-review process. Published papers will be featured on a dedicated Special Issue webpage. For more details, please visit MDPI’s editorial policies or contact the Editorial Office.
