| Abstract | ||||
| Management of construction project process is critical matter that needs thoughtful collaboration during dealing with information, data and workflow. That is because it involves large number of stakeholders such as owners, consultants for every specialization, general contractors, huge number of subcontractors, traders, etc. Furthermore, the operation and maintenance of the buildings during its life cycle depends on the data collected after the end of construction phase. Collecting these data through the construction phase and managing the workflow with the traditional ways are very cumbersome and susceptible to various types of errors. Recently, Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology has been implemented in some projects to solve the problems of the workflow, the loss of data and coordination among the stakeholders of a project. Accordingly, the current paper presents the concept and application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology to easily manage the workflow through the design and construction phases. BIM technology has been applied on a graduation project that consists of preparing: architectural design, structural design, bill of quantities, time scheduling, modeling, and shop drawings of residential villa. The study showed that the workflow of the construction processes did not have many errors as in traditional ways of working. Sharing data among the project stakeholders represented in the students working on the project was much easier as BIM depends on working internet clouds. All data were represented in one source which was the model created in Revit software. The final design and shop drawings were well coordinated with each other and predicted zero conflicts during construction stages. | ||||
