Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to confirm that the submission portal is now open for the Special Issue on “Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Sustainable Construction Management Operations” to be published in Sustainability.
While the construction industry traditionally lags behind other sectors in terms of technology adoption, it has embraced advanced technologies in both construction and management operations. One such innovation is building information modeling (BIM), which allows architects, engineers, and construction experts to visualize the entire construction project, fostering improved collaboration and coordination among diverse teams. These technological advancements are continuously evolving and are poised to revolutionize the construction industry further, enhancing the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and environmental sustainability of construction processes.
Submission types such as case studies, original research contributions, systematic reviews, conceptual papers, and experimental and original research contributions are welcome. Full papers are invited in areas including but not limited to:
- Building Information Modeling (BIM);
- Sustainable Construction Management;
- Built Environment;
- Advanced Materials;
- Artificial Intelligence (AI);
- Smart Buildings;
- Augmented Reality (AR) for Construction;
- Energy-Efficient Technologies;
- Advanced Technologies in Construction.
