Evaluating the effectiveness of implementing building information modeling (BIM) in managing the design of infrastructure projects

Abstract

Numerous risks in design and management of infrastructure projects significantly impact their cost, quality, and schedule. This study investigates the benefits and challenges of utilizing Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the design and management of technical infrastructure projects. It focuses on comparing and evaluating its effectiveness against traditional 2D design methods. The research centers on analyzing the limitations of the 2D design approach and proposes a new design process utilizing BIM. This includes evaluating the effectiveness of BIM through case studies and surveys of experts in the field. The findings suggest that BIM offers a more effective solution, enhancing project management, ensuring quality and schedule adherence, and optimizing costs. BIM brings transparency and accuracy to the design and project management process, reducing risks and improving forecasting abilities. The adoption of BIM represents a technological advancement in the technical infrastructure sector and contributes to the success and sustainability of future infrastructure projects.
