Building Information Modeling (BIM)-Based Information Management Platform in the Construction Industry

Open access
Of late, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is being widely used in managing construction information. As it comprises a 3D object-oriented system with geometric and non-geometric information, BIM allows a comprehensive digital representation of a built facility with great information depth for the construction stakeholders (i.e., architects, engineers, contractors, and subcontractors). Despite BIM being widely used in managing construction information, the components of BIM-based information management are limited studied. Hence, the objective of this paper is to review the components of BIM-based information management through an extensive literature review. Two main databases (i.e., Scopus and Web of Science) are used to obtain the information. The findings indicated that BIM-based information management facilitates construction stakeholders (i.e., architects, engineers, contractors, and subcontractors) to collaborate and integrate information into single sources and hence improves the construction documentation performance (i.e., cost, time, quality, and safety). The paper also concludes discussions that indicate the knowledge gap in current research to be investigated for further research.
