BIM Promotion Plan in Civil Engineering through the Analysis of the User Recognition Changes ()
Abstract
BIM, which recently emerged
as a hot issue in the construction industry, is being recognized as a new
breakthrough for the industry. However it is now in crisis due to the stagnant
construction business and the decrease in the amount of orders. Already,
various studies are being conducted to introduce BIM to architecture both
domestically and abroad, but in civil engineering projects, unlike in
construction projects,
the work system is non-repetitive, horizontal, and atypical, and the scope of
the project tasks is so wide that the amount of information generated is vast.
As a result, construction companies and designers feel burdened by the initial
investment cost for BIM construction and have doubts about its cost-effectiveness. As such, to
implement BIM in domestic civil engineering projects, this study determined the
BIM technology level of designers in civil engineering and analyzed the changes
in their awareness of BIM from the past so as to determine the obstacles to BIM
activation in civil engineering and to propose a solution for such. The results
of this study are expected to be used as the basic data for setting the direction of the research
on the standard for introducing BIM to civil engineering and on the development
of a receipt inspection and verification system for supplied products.
