In view of the problems such as the basic properties, usage, and location of prefabricated concrete building components, which are easy to be omitted, missed, and difficult to query in the field management, this study introduces building information modeling (BIM) and radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies to visualize the state information of prefabricated concrete components, such as component type, manufacturer, location, and temperature. In the design stage, a new RFID family can be built in the actual model in order to solve the lack of definition of RFID family through the Industry Foundation Class (IFC) standard, and the databases of BIM and RFID can be connected with C# language, realizing the effective integration of the two engineering technologies. In the application stage, through the secondary development of Revit, the information connection between PC terminal and RFID equipment is completed, and the component data collected by RFID tags are transmitted to the BIM model to realize the integration and visualization of prefabricated component state information. In this study, the traceability of prefabricated components of prefabricated concrete buildings can be improved, providing a basis for quality responsibility tracking in the later period, reducing unnecessary waste of human and material resources and helping to maximize economic benefits.

Identifying, tracking, controlling, and managing facilities and the associated problems are critical tasks in facility management. In addition, the facility maintenance information needs to be constantly updated, which leads to an extra workload for staff using paper and two-dimensional drawings. To overcome these challenges, a system based on building information modeling (BIM) and radio-frequency identification (RFID) is developed for managing and maintaining facilities. The proposed system simultaneously connects the BIM model using industry foundation class (IFC) data structures, the facility maintenance database, and the RFID reader and shows the accessible data through the internet on a handheld screen. This approach provides a general framework for maintenance information management of building facilities. The framework invokes the proposed system to be for preventive maintenance and the reports based on it. The system is implemented in the case study of the building maintenance of a soccer stadium to validate the proposed system and demonstrate the system’s effectiveness for maintenance management.

Working Method

In der Planung und Ausführung von Hochbauvorhaben haben sich zwei übergeordnete Wege zur ganzheitlichen Optimierung des Bauprozesses entwickelt. Mithilfe des Management-Ansatzes Lean Construction und der Arbeitsmethode Building Information Modeling (BIM) soll der Bauprozess nachhaltig verbessert werden. Lean Construction und BIM werden aktuell in Deutschland größtenteils unabhängig voneinander gesehen und angewendet. Allerdings existieren bei dem Management-Ansatz und der Arbeitsmethode in zahlreichen Bereichen Gemeinsamkeiten, sodass eine kombinierte Anwendung als sinnvoll erscheint und zu einer ganzheitlichen Verbesserung führen kann. Für eine gemeinsame Anwendung sollten im Vorfeld die Schnittstellen und Gemeinsamkeiten von Lean Construction und BIM geprüft und dargestellt werden. Hierzu wurde am Institut für Baubetriebslehre der Universität Stuttgart ein Forschungsvorhaben durchgeführt, in dem die Schwierigkeiten einer gemeinsamen Anwendung analysiert und Schnittstellen sowie Synergien von Lean Construction und BIM dargestellt wurden. Die Schnittstellen und Synergien sind durch eine internationale Literaturrecherche ermittelt worden. In dem vorliegenden Beitrag werden die wesentlichen Inhalte des Forschungsvorhabens „Wechselwirkungen zwischen Lean Construction und der Arbeitsmethode BIM“ beschrieben. Der Schwerpunkt in diesem Beitrag liegt dabei auf den Schnittstellen zwischen Lean Construction und den zwei BIM-Anwendungsfällen Visualisierung und Bauablaufmodellierung. Die Ergebnisse der Schnittstellenanalyse machen deutlich, dass zahlreiche BIM-Anwendungen im Einklang mit den Zielen, Werkzeugen und Methoden sowie Prinzipien von Lean Construction stehen. Aus dieser Analyse wird das Phasenmodell abgeleitet, welches eine strategische Anwendung der beiden Ansätze über den kompletten Planungs- und Bauprozess empfiehlt. Dieses Modell kann Entscheidungsträgern dabei als übersichtliches Werkzeug zur Entwicklung eines integrierten BIM-Lean-Prozesses dienlich sein.

El objeto de este trabajo fue establecer propuestas de mejoramiento al proceso de planeación de tiempos y costos en la etapa de cimentación de un edificio, a partir de la integración de herramientas como simulación de eventos discretos, programación con líneas de balance y metodologías Building Information Modeling - BIM. A partir de mediciones en campo se levantó información para la elaboración de un modelo de simulación de eventos discretos que imitara el proceso constructivo real. Se propusieron y modelaron alternativas de mejora, a partir de los principios de la filosofía Lean Construction y la programación de líneas de balance encontrando reducciones en tiempo y costo. También se realizó la animación virtual de las alternativas a partir de metodologías BIM. Se concluye que la integración de las herramientas utilizadas es de gran utilidad en la planeación y toma de decisiones en un proyecto civil.

This paper describes the possibilities of using BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology based on object modeling in transport infrastructure projects. The main focus was on investments such as roads and railways. The objectives of implementing this technology were presented and its benefits for participants of the construction process were discussed. The basic principles, norms and documents related to the BIM methodology have been outlined. Then it was described at what stage the introduction of this technology is on the Polish market. Finally, examples of "implementation" projects currently implemented by the main managers of the rail and road network in Poland, ie PKP PLK and GDDKiA, were shown. Keywords: civil engineering, BIM, infrastructure.

Schedule Performance

In the recent years, owners and construction management companies have shown an increasingly more interest in adopting approaches that result in enhanced quality and less risks, conflicts, and wastes on their projects despite potentially higher initial cost. Implementing advanced technology trends and incorporating more integrated methods of delivering projects have proven to be highly value-adding and forward-thinking approaches. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of and the synergy between three of such trending concepts in the construction industry, namely, integrated project delivery (IPD), lean principles, and building information modeling (BIM) in terms of cost and schedule performance measures. Data analysis was conducted on 72 vertical projects through interviews and study of the published articles, reports, and case studies. Qualitative analysis was performed through grounded theory while quantitative analysis was implemented using univariate and multivariate analysis of variance tests on schedule performance and cost performance. Results of the grounded theory analysis summarize six crucial characteristics required for an effective coordination between IPD, lean construction, and BIM. Statistical analysis on different combination of these three components revealed considerable effectiveness in terms of schedule performance while the effect on cost performance was not as much significant. This study contributes to the body of knowledge and practice in the field of construction by demonstrating the cost and schedule benefits realized through the use of IPD, lean construction, and BIM and identifying their collective conceptual advantages.

Lean Construction is one of the methods used to improve control over construction projects by eliminating waste in time and materials. Lean Construction is an adaptation from the Lean Manufacturing principles to the construction industry. The purpose of this article was to review the case studies published in 2018 in the Inspec database to find out where Lean is being implemented and how. The article approach by setting the search criteria first and then inspect the result to find the non-related results and eliminate it. After that, the article was reviewed and summarized. The article verifies each article finding; however Lean Construction and Building Information Modeling (BIM) are relatively new for the construction industry and they still need more time to be adopted widely and to be applied on a lower-cost budget. However, the discussed cases show a promising future for these technologies.
