INTRODUCTION
Building information modelling (BIM) is one of the most promising recent developments in
the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. BIM represents a new paradigm
within AEC, one that encourages integration of the roles of all stakeholders on a project. There
are various BIM strategies that can be used by architecture, engineering and construction
industry in order to enhance the quality of services and work design practices which has been
undertaken by them. They can make use of standardising BIM plans related to execution.
Industry can also be involved in planning for the full project life cycle so that objectives can be
achieved by them. AEC industry can also be involved in integrating and making use of
streamlining data.
These strategies can assist AEC industry in enhancing their productivity as well as
managerial efficiency (Vilas-Boas and et.al., 2019). It has also been analysed that when BIM is
been executed and made use in the process, it assists in enhancing the business optimization. The
BIM project can only work well when it has been combined with the industries goals of
enhancing the space related efficiency. AEC industry in this can make adequate use of resources
so that wastage can be minimised and also goals can be achieved by them. BIM can also assist
the industry in growing and will help in increasing their return on investment.

As per the view of Rowlinson, (2017) Business information modelling is one of the most
important aspect for making the building design effective. It is also useful in managing process.
It has been analysed that BIM helps the consumers in relating with the project prior to the
construction even begins. It helps them in knowing about the facts and figures related to project.
In order to implement BIM, it is really necessary for AEC industry to have clear vision and
radical leadership. Implementation of BIM can make the builders and engineers to face various
challenges during the time of making use of it. It has been analysed that in order to overcome the
issues, engineers must come upon with structure approach so that goals and objectives can be
achieved by them (Liu, Van Nederveen and Hertogh, 2017). It has been analysed that BIM is one
of the most powerful techniques, in order to maximise the return of investment effective design
practices must be used.

On the other hand stated that Wang, Gosling and Naim, (2019) In this the data must be
integrated during the time of execution process. Effective design will help and embed BIM
related projects to reduce the amount of waste that has been caused by it. This will improvise the
overall efficiency related to the project. They will also be able to enhance their managerial
efficiency which will help constructors in making their BIM project successful. Various
strategies related to the BIM project can also be learned from the London Olympics. In this
engineers need to make use of user friendly data and interface.
In the opinion of Ackerman and et.al., (2017) it has also been analysed that BIM is been
supported by production management system. It helps in improvising the effeminacy of
construction related process. It has also been analysed that BIM has also provided with the
solution related to problem linked with 2D CAD tools. This tool has been developed in order to
support the pull flow schedule of the p[project. It also provides assistance to collaborative co-
production on based on operation process (Liu, Van Nederveen and Hertogh, 2017) It helps AEC
industry in designing process and also make sure that quality is been improved during the time of
production. It is one of the most effective key for efficient production management system. This
tool makes sure that there is no waste of time and resources. Moreover it has been analysed that
implementation of BIM model can require huge amount of cost so many small scale firm are not
making use of it.
In accordance with Turk, (2016) BIM can be considered as the collaborative working
system. It is one of the most important tools which can be made use by AEC industry for
visualising the process related to construction. It is a collaborative working system which means
that benefits can only be gained by builders when they are working together with the entire team.
In this they must be engaged in making use of effective communication so that issues faced
during the time of implementation process can be analysed and solved on timely basis. It allows
builders to see the potential problems during the time of construction process and helps them in
eradicating quickly by working together. It also helps in analysing the potential pitfalls at an
early stage which saves cost and time of company.
Role of BIM in AEC industry
BIM is one of the most important process in ACE industry and plays a vital role in this
industry (Liu, Van Nederveen and Hertogh, 2017). It is a process of creating and managing
information on a construction, engineering and architectural projects throughout the project
