This report presents the outcomes of Phase 1 of four phases and identifies solutions for integrating the work health and safety (WHS) aspect in BIM-enabled project planning, design and delivery.

Sustainability is becoming a key factor in the decision-making process of infrastructure projects throughout their lifecycles, so this research aims to develop a continuous BIM-based Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for infrastructure projects that utilises an explicit data structure to (1) systematically integrate data from various sources, and (2) enable bidirectional data exchange between BIM and...

In the construction sector, complex constraints are not usually modeled in conventional scheduling and 4D building information modeling software, as they are highly dynamic and span multiple domains. This paper presents a novel method, using semantic web technologies, to model and validate complex scheduling constraints by presenting a Linked-Data based Constraint-Checking (LDCC) approach, using the...

The project delivery system and the contracting strategy adopted are the main governing factor that decides the success of a construction project in terms of time, cost, and quality. With the rising complexity of projects and stringent legal regulations, traditional practices turn out to be inefficient leading to disputes, cost, and time overruns.

This paper aims to demonstrate that the use of BIM tools enhances collaboration and integration into an IPD project. It starts with a literary review of the topics and then describes the proposed BIM and IPD integration framework, and finally evaluates the metrics obtained.
