| Abstract | ||
| The traditional construction industry is facing a low rate in productivity during the construction phase when compared to other industries, mainly due to poor planning, coordination and poor communication between project parties.The research aims to study the impact of using building Information Modeling (BIM) as an effective solution to integrate the design, construction and post-operation phases by examining three measurable Key performance indicators (Request for Information-Change Order - Cost Estimating) applied on Residential Compound as a case study and determining the intended benefit of using BIM. An increase in the rate of construction productivity has been found with the implementation of the BIM systems due to the reduction of re-work cases that cause time and avoid a large number of lacks of information required in the implementation phase and resolving conflicts before the start of construction phase. So, the implantation of BIM led to reduce the cost and avoid operational problems before the start of the project. The research also has included an assessment of the use of building information at a low rate in productivity during the construction phase when compared to other industries. This research aims to study the impact of using Information Modeling systems in design and implementation stages through the dissemination of a questionnaire with a response rate of 75 respondents. The results show that while BIM systems are modern, many have adopted them due to their ability to improve work efficiency, enhance communication among project teams, and reduce environmental waste. Despite some barriers, such as a lack of qualified professionals, BIM is expected to be widely used in the construction industry in the near future. | ||
