Construction Project Management with the Implementation of Information Modeling Technology

Abstract

This article examines the problems associated with the implementation of digital project management technologies at the stages of the building life cycle, with the introduction and development of building information modeling (BIM) in the construction industry. The article is based on the review of international experience in BIM application, current industry trends and current shortcomings associated with the implementation of information models. BIM is more than a technology, as it involves much more than just 3D modeling. It is also defined in other dimensions, such as 4D—time, 5D—cost, 6D–site management, 7D (sustainability assessment), 8D (safety management). The material of the article explores the methods of BIM application. The article emphasizes the importance of an integrated approach at the design stage of a construction project, the need for the participation of specialists in many areas, including cost and process management of the facility, covering the fifth and sixth dimensions in the BIM environment (5D project cost and 6D site management). The article considers the practical implementation of BIM in the design of agro-industrial complex, provides an example of the development of financial and economic model and methods of site process management. The article is completed with conclusions that creation of an information model will allow to unite site data on the stages of the building life cycle for every participant of this process, which will allow to save all kinds of resources.
