Context 1
... BIM is perceived only as software (mainly due to advertising campaigns software companies). However, BIM should be seen not only as software but as an integrated process (Fig.3). On the other side, the use of the ideas of building information modelling principle in construction practice would not achieve such progress without innovations in information technology, software and hardware included. ...

... The built environment is currently in a dire moment of change to achieve further sustainable solutions and to reduce the carbon footprint [1][2][3]. The Linear economic model has been predominantly adopted in the construction industry, in addition to the introduction of recycling of construction waste. ...
The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector produces a large sum of the global carbon emissions. Emerging systems and technology, coupled with a rapid modernisation within the construction industry, have been developed as a response to challenges of maintaining sustainable practices and procedures during the whole project life cycle. The technological advancement of Building Information Modelling (BIM) is the focus of this research: to determine its potential to facilitate the adoption of Circular Economy (CE) principles to empower the path towards net-zero carbon within the built environment. The employed research methods include a systematic literature review and a questionnaire survey to collect data from construction professionals on the potentials of using BIM to enhance circularity in the built environment projects. Existing BIM practices for sustainability within the built environment could in this chapter be identified to align with the concept of the CE, which will yield further strategies aiming to maintain the path towards net-zero carbon construction projects in the future. Following the analysis of the data collected, a conceptual framework is developed to demonstrate how BIM features facilitate CE principles and empower sustainability and resource efficiency within construction projects. To achieve the full potential benefits emerging from the BIM utilisation in a CE context, industry professionals and stakeholders should comprehend the acquired BIM knowledge and appliance for sustainable practices. The BIM competencies currently employed by industry professionals could show the current existence of an interconnection between BIM and CE.
... Fridrich and Kubecka say that BIM can be described as software and an integrated method [17]. From the foregoing conceptual perspectives, some core conceptual elements of BIM are figured out and presented in the following table for emphasis and better understanding. ...
Construction projects are faced with a range of challenges. These can be addressed significantly by combining Building Information Modeling (BIM) and strategic management (SM) right from planning to execution phases of construction projects. This study argues that these two problem-solving mechanisms can be leveraged in combination for the attainment of efficient planning and execution of construction projects. It draws evidence from secondary data, sourced from the internet and subjected to systematic review and thematic and content analyses. The descriptive analysis done proves BIM and SM to be indeed capable of ensuring efficient planning and execution of construction projects, when duly deployed and the constraints to their application tackled sufficiently. The study concludes that the combination of BIM and SM produces more results and guarantees efficient planning and execution of construction projects much more than when either of them is used alone. Organizations and institutions are charged to resort to combining these strategies as well as others in finding solutions to problems such as those confronting construction projects.
... It can be stated that key aspect of BIM is the organization of information through a multi-dimensional model shared within a digital-cloud platform; that makes of BIM a collaborative design method [20][21][22]. Collaboration between the various professionals involved is made possible by the information model, which allows information to be entered, extracted, updated or modified within it [23][24][25], and this leads to effective clash detection, which can prevent costs due to design variations, which may have to be carried out during construction. ...
Carrying out correctly and objectively a CBA (Cost Benefit Analysis) means planning and designing sustainable infrastructures.
For the case of infrastructures, it is very important to demonstrate in the most efficient way the impacts that would result from its construction, and to show them to all the involved stakeholders.
In this context, the marriage between the CBA and BIM (Building Information Modeling) becomes a powerful visualization tool for stakeholders providing them a transparent summary of the costs and benefits of the project, within the evaluation analysis of the decision-making process. CBA-BIM is the union between infrastructural and transport planning which place Stakeholder Engagement as a central planning activity aiming at reducing the subjectivity of the analyses.
The motivations lying behind the integrated use of the CBA with BIM are the transparency, standardization, and automatization of the decision-making process. Indeed, from their union, there should be a decrease of the costs related to the protests of the stakeholders not involved bringing unnecessary delays in the construction works.
This paper shows an application of this framework, with a BIM based design approach, to the case of the Napoli-Bari High-Speed Rail corridor, currently under construction. The BIM based procedure proposed can be easily adapted to different uses according to the objectives.
This work provides a contribution to the current literature since it is one of the first which considers the integration between BIM and CBA in the infrastructural context.
... These changes will align with program assessment efforts to improve student learning outcomes (SLOs) [2]. Therefore, higher education in AEC attempts to implement effective strategies to instruct competence on BIM [3] and sustainable development on students [4]. ...
The research aims to analyze the students' perception of understanding Building Information Modeling (BIM) with Sustainable Design in a university's architecture and construction management program. This study investigates four main aspects of students' perceptions toward a BIM application of Sustainable Design and construction, including: (1) to analyze the current trends and future developments of BIM and Sustainable Design; (2) to improve students' understanding of BIM and Sustainable Design; (3) to implement the design practice of BIM and Sustainable Design; and (4) to promote student competencies with adequate resources and have better preparation for their future careers in the construction industry. This study surveyed distinct levels of architecture and construction students. Adopting the student population from Kennesaw State University as the case study, this research initiated a questionnaire-based approach followed by statistical analysis. The research from the student perspective would address perceptions of Sustainable Design using BIM applications, how BIM impacted Sustainable Design, and how BIM tools affect students' learning of building systems in the context of Sustainability. Students expect to respond to survey data accurately and honestly during the entire process, based on their background and experiences with BIM, Sustainable Design, and construction performance. This research is expected to find the gap in the academic curriculum of BIM with Sustainable Design. Researchers and educators can improve the curriculum to empower students' skills and help them be ready and adapt to the construction industry towards Sustainability using BIM technology.
... Therefore, the construction industry is showing an increasing interest in BIM, and the gradual acceptance of BIM is generating employment and opportunities for experts in this methodology [12][13][14][15]. BIM integration in companies means that new pedagogical strategies must be introduced into curricula to adequately train students and future members of the professional sector [16][17][18]. In other words, for future professionals to be competitive in BIM methodology, universities must be able to train their students today. ...
Since the international governmental institutions required and/or recommended (according to the regulations of each country and continent) all public works to be certified in the BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology, public and private institutions and universities have sought to integrate BIM into their production and educational processes. This requires the university academic environment to focus its efforts on training students in this methodology, as they will need to apply it in any future work activities related to architecture and construction. This article seeks to analyze which methods are being used by higher education institutions around the world to integrate BIM implementation in AEC (architecture, engineering, and construction) degrees and to determine if a set of regulatory guidelines exists that could serve as a common foundation for institutions to improve this integration process. To this end, a systematic literature review was carried out on WOS and SCOPUS by applying the PRISMA statement methodology. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected based on keywords, abstracts, and full content of the articles. In the end, 23 articles were thoroughly studied, the integration and evaluation methods analyzed, and results obtained. The analysis shows a consensus on the need to develop common academic guidelines across university centers that define a strategy for curriculum modifications and teaching and learning strategies. Finally, future lines of research are identified.
... The authors of the study suggest a similar structure below: both organizational issues and issues of the professional level of project participants at each stage of implementation. The high dependence of the level of BIM technologies maturity in a project on the professional level of its performers is noted by many researchers [30,31]. The experience of many countries [32,33,34,35] shows that the implementation of new training programs based on secondary specialized and higher educational institutions, as well as retraining and advanced training programs can effectively solve personnel issues related to the need of new competencies for all project participants. ...
In this paper, the authors consider the current state and level of implementation of building information modeling applied to transport infrastructure at the stages of their life cycle in Russia and abroad. Possible prerequisites for the transfer of knowledge and technologies of building information modeling from the civil and industrial facilities to the field of transport construction are highlighted according to the accumulated experience in the design, construction and operation of such facilities in various countries and Russia. Special emphasis is placed on examples of the world’s largest implemented or ongoing projects for the construction of transport infrastructure. The experience of implementing these projects was analyzed from the point of view of the software used in relation to all stages of the life cycle of transport infrastructure objects: design, construction and subsequent operation. The prospects for the development of data exchange formats in the context of the existing problem of mutual integration of BIM and GIS for transport infrastructure objects to ensure their complementarity and compatibility are also considered. The functional levels of the use of various software within the framework of companies implementing project activities using information modeling technologies are highlighted. A list of criteria characterizing the level of information modeling technologies integration to transport infrastructure objects into the activities of participants in the life cycle of these objects is highlighted. A review of the regulatory framework of information modeling in construction in Russia is carried out, and the main differences in this area with the regulatory regulation of this area in the European Union are noted. Conclusions are made about the key reference points for the development of information modeling of transport infrastructure facilities on a national scale, leading customer companies and contractors.
... The skill of working with a CAD system became one of the main competencies of a graduate of a civil engineering university a long time ago [9][10][11][12][13]. However, in recent years, a more complex approach to solving construction problems has appeared, which is building information modeling (BIM) [14][15][16]. ...
The paper addresses the training of specialists in civil engineering, having skills in project activities and advanced design techniques. Including technologies for the design of facilities, taking into account environmental norms and rules of nature management. Teamwork skills are one of the important competencies of a modern specialist. The paper describes ways to implement students’ teamwork in the training process at universities. It is shown how collective training techniques are introduced to the training process of engineering students. The author notes the importance of further development of project-based learning for the training of specialists in civil engineering, architecture and other engineering fields. It is also noted that the accomplishment of assignments — and not only individually but also in micro-groups — often adds a competitive aspect to the process, helps reveal leadership skills, and makes it possible for students to fulfill themselves at their best and demonstrate their talents. Collective assignments always require thinking outside the box, looking for unconventional solutions, and make students have an open mind. The paper also addresses matters of developing the graphic culture in students during their training and highlights the importance of the graphic culture in the training of highly qualified specialists.

Different professionals from the technical project fields are involved in the building life-cycle, which makes BIM highly complex and requires the involvement of multiple disciplines that can interact in a natural way in a BIM environment [4]. ...
Industrial engineering has incorporated building information modeling (BIM) into its curricu-lum. This work is a comparative study of the teaching results of engineering projects with and without the use of BIM. This study reports the results of a BIM implementation for a basic engineering project subject in an industrial engineering school. The results were evaluated by surveying the opinions of teachers and students. The teacher evaluations were classified using the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) under certain and uncertain conditions. To uncover the possible relationship between students’ overall satisfaction, the use of BIM, and criteria used for the teachers’ evaluation, a factor analysis and multifactor analysis of variance (Multifactor-ANOVA) were performed. The teacher evaluation showed better results in courses with greater use of BIM. The results indicate that the use of BIM in the engineering project subject could improve the acquisition of the assessed skills and positively influence student satisfaction.
... A BIM software is a powerful, highly-organized, and user-friendly graphical interface that brings the users the flexibility to visualize and control multiple characteristics of a building project [6]. Even though BIM software is considered a specialized tool with highly demanding computing requirements, the affordability of high-tech for students has allowed the incorporation of BIM software as a didactic tool for AEC university education [7][8][9]. In this study, a collaborative BIM tool was implemented in a project design class in a civil engineering course in a university in Mexico. ...
