Modern Information and Communication Technology (ICT) make it possible to re-organize the information flow and enhance the physical flow of the Construction Supply Chain (CSC). Considering the resource status and potential risks that exist in the CSC, this paper first explores the current CSC re-organization caused by the application of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and...

Collaborative efforts in the construction industry include the use of integrated systems like BIM, lean and innovative procurement options which are now reshaping project delivery systems. However, in the UK, most efforts have focused primarily on the conventional project management system, which is coherent and contract-based and has brought separation in the processes of costing/design...

Rather than applying BIM and Lean independently, integration of BIM features with lean principles would bring more benefits to the construction project design process in terms of improving information management. This paper studies the potential benefits of integrating BIM and Lean to improve information management in terms of reducing construction design problems associated with information...

''When the truck arrived at the construction site it could not unload the material because it [the truck] was too long, we had to send it away [...], this happens all the time in Oslo where we have to build on very small plots.'' (Carpenter, Oslo). As the quote illustrates, inefficiencies and resulting low productivity...

To maximise the benefits from its application of BIM to infrastructure projects within its annual capital program, this framework will support the effective use of BIM across Queensland Government infrastructure delivery agencies. A focus of the framework includes BIM capability development across government and industry.
