| dc.description.abstract | Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology has been comprehensively adopted in the construction industry and implemented in the design, construction, and operation and maintenance management stages, covering the entire lifecycle of a project. The design BIM models have evolved from mere visual representations to incorporating constructability analysis, achieving better BIM implementation benefits. This study investigates the feasibility of using design BIM models in the construction stage by establishing verification mechanisms and processes. Initially, the study examines cases of BIM implementation in the design-bid-build approach from the construction perspective to summarize the model requirements necessary for construction operations, such as the list of components that need to be built and the mode of checking construction drawings. This study then explores BIM implementation in the design-build approach, identifying the process and key outputs of using a single model from the design stage to the construction stage. By analyzing design BIM models in case studies, the study reviews the content of the drawings, contract documents, and output data. The results of these analyses are then summarized to establish verification mechanisms and processes. This study concludes that the content of design BIM models is the primary factor for evaluation. The file format of design BIM models directly affects how the model can be applied in the construction stage, and whether the contract drawings produced from the model can be used to determine the accuracy and completeness of design BIM models. Furthermore, this study suggests evaluating model details, including the level of detail in the components and interference checks, to confirm the reusability of the BIM components and whether the model includes constructability considerations. Finally, this study verifies the proposed approach by cases to confirm its practicability in the construction stage. This can effectively reduce the time required for construction stage modeling and enhance early-stage integration and planning efficiency. This study concludes that integrating professional contractors with BIM experience during the design process can facilitate Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), ensuring the timeline and quality of pre-construction integration and reviews. | en_US |
