Introduction:The traditional working of the construction industry is getting transformed with the use of new tools and technologies. The construction industry focuses on completing the project within allocated time and budget and delivered the high quality outcome to the stakeholders. “The construction industry works as a separate entity to know the requirement of the customers and other stakeholders” (Liu, 2010). The use of building information management tools helps in maintaining connection between the different participating units. The information can easily retrieve at the faster rate. The diagram below shows the difference in activities performed in the traditional environment and in the BIM environment.The BIM technology is capable of managing numerous resources with high efficiency in the designing, fabrication, construction, and operational activities. The purpose of this paper is tofocus on the multi-disciplinary use of building information management in construction activities and what are the benefits and challenges which are faced in deploying BIM tools. “The BIM is the virtual representation of the structure which is going to be developed by deploying the flow of construction activities according to the mentioned plan” (Yang, 2013). The building information management specifies the essential requirement, process, procedure, structure, and standards. The management practices give emphasis on the data definition which gives the clear idea about the information interchange. These tools help in optimizing the workflows and dependability of information. The visual concept of building information modelling is shown in the figure below:
“The 35% of the nation economy depends on the construction activities. The GDP of the nation can be improved with the free flow of construction activities” (Ku, 2013). The traditional working of the construction activities is equipped with many problems such as increasing spiralling cost, increasing demand, fragmentation issues, and others. The lack of coordination and collaboration is the major problem with the team members of construction forum. The use of knowledge management helps in improving the performance of the construction activities. “The strategies should be built to improve the coordination between supply chain management program to get the effectiveness in the working forum of the construction activities” (Onyango, 2016). The framework of knowledge management can be developed with the use of BIM to enhance the repositories of knowledge to maintain good and healthy relationship between team members and customers. The knowledge intensive activities are laid down to enhance the work flow of construction to complete the project within the prescribed time and budget. “The activities help in improving the level of satisfaction in the end user. The innovation, rules, procedures, standards, and policies can be developed by maintaining the knowledge management program” (Merschbrock, 2012). The performance of the construction activities can be improved by using the BIM tools in the process of construction. The 3 Dimensional models can be developed by making use of BIM tools which helps in providing the clear portrait of the final outcome of the construction activities. The virtual model helps in analysing that the expected outcome is capable of satisfying the requirement or not. The collaboration of construction activities, engineering tools and architecture changes the scenario of development process.
