With changes in technology, opportunities have been created for industries to become more efficient in the way work is done. One industry where this has become a possibility is the building industry; using Building Information Modeling (BIM) software Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) has become a highly efficient way of going about a construction project. IPD is a very different way of doing a construction project, then what the building industry is used to. The aim of this study is to assess the potential of Building information modeling (BIM) applications in Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) and compare it with the conventional process in the Design – Bid-Build delivery method by ACD. The objectives of this study are to study the information transmission of the Computer Aided Design (CAD) processes in the Design Bid-Build delivery Method and the IPD method, to study the potential of implementing Building Information Modeling (BIM) process for design and construction, to identify the barriers in the implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in Integrated Project Delivery. Using IPD is more cost effective and time efficient than the traditional method of industry. Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is a newer process that is gaining some recognition in the building industry. Currently the majority of the building industry uses a Design-Bid-Build process which often results in higher costs and missed project deadlines. With the coordinating capability of Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, like Autodesk Revit, ArchiCAD and the use of IPD companies have been seeing a reduction in costs and a more effective use of time. Through multiple research methods: historical, literature review, questionnaire to got objective of this project.

Construction projects are complex undertakings, which involve many different parties striving towards successful completion. Effective and efficient processes are based on collaboration with an integrated project delivery approach, the project team working together as a cohesive unit towards a common goal. However, the current procurement system adopted creates fragmentation of the design and construction teams, which results in projects being delivered late, constructability issues, final project cost exceeding the approved budget, and variation orders. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to various built environment professionals within the Eastern Cape construction industry to determine the current awareness with respect to Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) and Building Information Modelling (BIM). The findings showed that these systems have many benefits, which can assist in mitigating the aforementioned issues. The respondents indicated that they were aware of IPD and BIM and the related benefits; however, there are barriers preventing the adoption of these systems, such as clients not identifying the advantages, clients being resistant to change, as well as a lack of the requisite-related knowledge and skills. Conclusions include that collaboration within the construction industry is imperative toward the successful completion of projects and that further information with respect to IPD and BIM is required to raise awareness and promote the adoption of these models. Recommendations include: all stakeholders need to commit to the ideology behind these concepts and develop an understanding of the concepts and related benefits, and industry associations need to publish information regarding IPD and BIM, as this will increase awareness.

The Building Information Modelling (BIM) implementation is to create a centralised knowledge sharing resource that contains all the necessary design and operational information about the project. BIM is a collaborative approach and integrated project delivery to design and delivery embraced by various construction teams in the construction projects. In the context of the most suitable project delivery to be used, with regards to the use of BIM, the Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) approach is highlighted as the best method which correlates building procurement of the design-to-construction business process through literature review analysis. IPD is developed as project delivery system that integrates people in effective collaborative approach between the key players in the project. IPD is going to be particularly beneficial for BIM because the contracts relation between the contractor, designers, consultants, constructors, subcontractors and suppliers were binded and expressly determined at earlier stage. This relationship between these two subjects will helped the project team to achieve the project goals in terms of timely schedule, life cycle costs, quality and sustainability in construction project. Therefore, this study investigates on the propensity of the best methodology of project delivery system which can correlate with procurement adoption for projects adapt BIM concept. This is a descriptive study and the method used is based on review of the literature in relation to BIM and IPD. The analysis revealed that propensity of adopting IPD project delivery and the adoption of BIM are based on these factors: improve the communication, closer collaboration; liability and legal relationships are specifically determined, the best quality outcome; and lastly with reductions in design and construction period, it provides a cost effectiveness and a saving in overall construction period.

In recent years, new technologies have emerged that promise to deliver efficiency, cost savings, and productivity increases to the commercial construction industry; building information modeling (BIM), and integrated project delivery (IPD) are such technologies. The literature is overwhelmingly positive with respect to the potential of BIM and/or IPD, in addition to Partnering-a less formal predecessor to IPD. This conceptual study is a critical review of the technologies, which identifies key benefits/deficiencies within the literature, synthesizes the information with comparative analysis, and conceptualizes a new framework for understanding the technologies and their interactions-the BIM/IPD Integration Model. A preliminary methodological concept for resolution of the problems uncovered is also put forth. Conclusions indicate that further study is needed to better understand the relationship between BIM and/or IPD adoption and project performance measures (e.g., cost, profit, ROI, schedule, safety, relationships, etc.) utilizing rigorous quantitative methods applied to actual project data.
Building Information Modeling and Integrated Project Delivery: What is the future?
CSCE 2011 General Conference - Congrès générale 2011 de la SCGC, 2011
The current state of practice in Building Information Modeling (BIM) has made significant progress over the last decade in integrating the design and construction processes. Current contractual relationships such as Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) arrangements are also making inroads into a more integrated process of combining design and instruction. However, both developments are still in a state of infancy. This paper explores best practices through a current analysis of the state of practice in integrating design and construction through BIM and new contractual arrangements as well as the current limitations to functional integration. The referred limitation comprises an analysis of how aspects such as sustainable/green construction and conservation design can be better integrated into BIM, including lean construction to maximize value reduce waste. This paper explores this process, chiefly addressing issues of liability, particularly as such models gain greater usage by the Owner during the operational and maintenance phases of a facility. It concludes with possible avenues that the construction industry needs to explore in the greater strategic integration of design and construction.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) and construction project management
BIM Building Information Technology, 2021
The building information modeling (BIM) and construction project management is one of the most promising recent developments in the engineering and construction industry. BIM can create a common language between all parties and system divisions in a project and make them an integrated team. With BIM technology an accurate virtual model of a building is digitally can be construct. This model known as a building information model can be used for planning, design, construction and operation of the facility. It helps engineers, construction manager (CM) and constructors visualize what is to be built in a simulated environment to identify any potential design, construction, or operational issues. (BIM) represents a new paradigm within engineer, construction manager (CM) and construction one that encourages integration of the roles of all stakeholders on a project. This paper aims to show the correspondence of BIM and project management of the construction project as a whole. A construction project is made up of many small components that are integrated to form a single complex project. To have a successful project, various characteristics of that project, including time, quality, cost, and safety, need to be managed.
Building Information Modelling (Bim) as a Collaborative Tool in Construction Project Delivery (1)
2016
This development paper briefly sets the scene for the examination of the use of Building information modelling (BIM) as a collaborative tool within the construction industry. The focus of the study is on construction projects in South Africa. The study contemplates that South African construction firms may derive very limited benefits from BIM. They are three reasons for this including (i) limited user competency, (ii) limitations on information exchange and (iii) a lack of clarity in project design.
Rapid population increasing in Iran necessitates applying better construction methods for providing residences and urban facilities for people. Nowadays, the old-fashioned approaches in Iran construction projects are being used which brought difficulties for stakeholders who are beneficiaries from design and construction phase to operation step. Using such new technologies as Building Information Modelling with regarding to local needs and current facilities and getting help from more efficient project delivery methods like Integrated Project Delivery will make more qualified projects. The main aim of this article is to evaluate the basic information and experience about IPD and BIM in Iran construction industry and the abilities and strong points which can be provided by simultaneous use of BIM and IPD. Identification and classification potential and usual difficulties in construction projects besides recognizing BIM and IPD capabilities illustrate whether BIM and IPD will be as remedy for solving these errors or not. The research is on the basis of literature review and a designed questionnaire which was distributed among consultants and contractors. The final analysis of surveys has been presented in diagrams showing the role of BIM and IPD in Iran construction industry.
- :Improving Integrated Practice through Building Information Modeling-Integrated Project Delivery (BIM-IPD) for Abstract Current studies shows that most of the Industrialised Building System (IBS) project procurement or delivery methods in Malaysia are still based on the traditional approach. This traditional construction process has been widely criticized for its fragmented approach to project delivery and its failure to form effective teams. Due to that problem, a number of issues have recently arisen in current construction methods, such as reworks, time delay, rising costs, lack of communication and coordination, and wastages. This paper through literature review aims to explore this fragmentation issue thus effects to the Malaysian IBS construction projects especially during the design and construction stages. Suggestion on how an integrated approach such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) can contribute for design and constructio...
— Construction industry has complexity in its nature because it contains large number of parties as clients, contractors, consultants, stakeholders, shareholders and regulators. Construction industry plays a major role in development and achievement the goals of society. Within the construction phase, many problems and errors such as design changes & rework, incomplete design, standard of quality in drawings and technical specifications, lack of communication, delays in the drawings, mistakes and errors are arising from this industry day by day. Therefore, always greater needs for improving the entire construction process such to minimize project time and improve productivity. A relative new tool that has progressively being accepted in the construction industry is Building Information Modeling (BIM), which has been playing a major role on improving construction management background. BIM is a process of virtual design in the construction of a project. The objectives of this research is, to identify the problems of design stage that currently exists in construction projects in time and the potential application of BIM to minimize time in design stage. This study comprises interviews with experts, data collection from several projects, design, and implementation of improvement tools. The analysis results establish that architects firms had realized the importance of design stage during the start up of the construction. They have accepted that BIM is the future. In the future, as the cost to build is reduced through increased efficiencies and reduction of waste via BIM. As a final thought, the idea that BIM is a one stop solution, compared to what current systems are capable off.
