dc.descriptionFragmentation is a key feature of the construction indus try structure and client base. The traditional nature of the industry involves bringing together multi disciplines/practitioners in a one-of-a-kind project that requires a tremendous amount of coordination. A typical construction project is extremely complex, involving a variety of organisations and disciplines being brought together for the duration of the project to form the “pro ject team” or “virtual enterprise”. These organisations vary in terms of size, physical location and IT capabili ties. Furthermore, the industry is essentially an informa tion intensive and processing industry. The traditional nature of the industry is extremely ‘document-centric’ with construction project information being captured pre dominately in documents, i.e. 2D CAD drawings, specifi cations, etc. Although project information may be pro duced in an electronic form, in essence it is distributed among the various multi-disciplinary teams involved in the project as documents.
dc.description.abstractThe concept of Building Information Modelling (BIM) has its roots in 2D digital drawings and product modelling. Early modelling efforts emerged in order to provide a solution to data exchange problems between several CAD and analysis systems. BIMs which used STEP as their base standard, adopted STEP data exchange and sharing mechanisms, enabling data exchange in three levels; file exchange, working form and shared database. In contrast to the traditional and accepted view of BIM as the central project model, some software vendors today define BIM as the management of a federated data layer, which consists of multiple models. After a brief summary on the history of in formation modelling in the construction industry, this paper reviews the storage and exchange mechanisms of BIMs and presents the role of model views as an information sharing and exchange method. KEYWORDS: building information models, storage, sharing, exchange.
