Abstract

The Building Information Modeling in architecture, engineering and construction projects in order to increase labor productivity in the industry is expanding recently. This technology with digitally display physical and functional properties of the building is a common source of knowledge of building information that makes a reliable information model for decision-making during the lifecycle of a project.

The aim of this project is to prioritize usages, challenges and risks of Building Information Modeling with tools such as questionnaires and statistical analysis software. The Building Information Modeling usages which can solve project management knowledge crises have surveyed and arranged in order of magnitude and influence. Also BIM risks and challenges have prioritized in order of importance and impact.

Results implied that the most impressionable project management knowledge area is cost management, and 3D coordination is the most effective usage of Building Information Modeling. Also it has deducted that the greatest threat is illusion in risk management and the most massive challenge is the inflexibility of users.

Key Words:

Building Information Modeling, Construction projects management, Project Management Knowledge, BIM Usages, BIM Challenges, BIM Risks
