Abstract
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a process whereby digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a facility are built, analysed, documented and assessed virtually, then revised iteratively until the optimal model is obtained. The virtual BIM model is not only a graphical design but a process to generate and manage building data. All project participants can use BIM as a real simulation of the actual project. However, in regard to the linear, uncoordinated and highly variable traditional processes, there is ambiguity how BIM can be consistently utilised during whole project life cycle and whether traditional processes are able to fully benefit from BIM. This study did a literature review and identified that BIM is greatly effective in all aspects of a construction project life cycle and overcomes many of the problems found within the traditional process management by providing an object oriented, parametric and visual representation of the product. It was also found collaborative delivery methods such as IPD and DB are more appropriate for BIM based projects. Nevertheless, in order to effectively use the BIM, it is required to rethink the way in which projects are delivered.
