As urbanization continues to shape the global landscape, the construction industry faces the imperative to innovate, seeking solutions that merge efficiency, sustainability, and aesthetic integrity. This research paper explores the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in precast construction projects . The objective is to meticulously evaluate both the benefits and challenges associated with this symbiotic relationship, offering valuable insights into its profound impact on the urban development paradigm.
The literature review establishes a foundation by synthesising existing knowledge on BIM, precast technology, and urban development. This paper employs a robust methodology, encompassing case studies and a comprehensive framework, to assess the multifaceted dimensions of BIM integration in precast construction.
The benefits of BIM integration are expounded, including improved collaboration and communication among stakeholders, design optimization, clash detection for conflict resolution, and comprehensive project lifecycle management.
Concurrently, the challenges associated with BIM integration are meticulously examined, encompassing implementation costs, training requirements, standardisation, interoperability, data security, privacy concerns, and the resistance to change inherent in the construction industry.
As a culmination, this paper provides actionable recommendations for overcoming challenges and optimizing the benefits of BIM integration in urban precast construction. The insights shared herein are poised to inform industry practices, drive innovation, and propel the construction sector towards a future where technology seamlessly converges with project development goals.
