CASE STUDY
KINGSLY PLC CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AT NEW JERSEY
Introduction
The construction project by Kingsly Building and Construction PLC limited which was
done in New Jersey New York city in the United States of America is the BIM project under
projection in this case study.
A project refers to a task or rather job that aims at attaining a particular set of objectives,
has a known start and end time, has a budget, scope, and quality (Geraldi & Söderlund ,2018)). It
is normally managed by a team comprising of stakeholders, who operate together throughout the
entire phases of the project from the beginning and terminate when the project comes to an end.
To ensure effective delivery of a quality project, only project management is necessary which
involves the use of tools, skills, knowledge and appropriate methodologies. A project normally
takes the following four stages; initiation phase, Designing and planning phase, Implementation
phase and finally the project closure or phase-out (Tonchia, Tonchia & Mahagaonkar ,2018).
Building information modeling is a process that is integrated and designed in a manner that
can coordinate information from design, construction to the final operation. More preferably, it
permits the engineers to quickly and easily foresee the performance and layout of projects prior to
the actual building (Martinez-Aires, Lopez-Alonso & Martinez-Rojas, 2018).
Technical Aspects of Building Information Management
In this subtopic, I’ll elaborate on several functions of the BIM with respect to its various
features;
i. Clash control- the building information models of various levels are collected and verified for
geometrical designs.
ii. An aspect of time estimation (4D) - estimation of time during the project running helps to
minimize extra costs to be incurred.
iii. An aspect of cost estimation (5D) –Cost estimating is currently a time-consuming process,
requiring an entire team of estimators. There are multiple factors hindering the transition to model-
based estimating; however, the risks are justified by the benefits of estimating with BIM. Building
Information Modelling has the capability to automate a quantity take-off, which will reduce the
time and costs required to estimate a project; however, the industry is not using BIM for
estimating this helps to estimate the prices of a variety of objects in 3D (Saieg, Sotelino,
