The Effect of Using Building Information Modeling System at Design Phase to Create High-Efficiency Projects

Coinciding with the advancement of building systems, traditional methods are no longer the best option for producing high-efficiency projects in less time. The main challenge that traditional methods face is developing a strategy for information flow between all project workers (stakeholders, owners, engineers, contractors, etc.) in a flexible manner, which has an impact on project efficiency. Modern building systems are regarded as one of the most essential practices for determining project efficiency. The Building Information Modeling system has been offered as a successful alternative in delivering successful projects through the continuous information flow between project disciplines at all stages of the project, which benefits (Architect, Civil, Structural, Contractor, etc.) In the project design, construction, and implementation phases, research confines in the design phase which is related by the architect, based on a study of the added value. The research aims to demonstrate the value of adopting and using Building Information Modeling to increase the efficiency of architectural projects through effective strategies Specifically in the architectural design phase. The methodology of the research is based on analysis two case studies: 1) Shanghai Tower in China; 2) Qatar National Museum in Qatar, all of which rely on building information modelling technology to demonstrate the system’s effectiveness in extracting successful global projects, according to the research. Subtract proposals that propose a mechanism for more widely utilizing the building information modeling system in engineering circles to improve the efficiency of architectural projects.
