The Benefits of and Challenges to Implement 5D BIM in Construction Industry

摘要: The Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry is known as one of the prominent sectors contributing to economic in Iraq. On other hand, this sector suffers from poor quality, communication, cost overruns delay project completion. Time estimation are two major critical processes construction management, conduct must plans specification completed. Manually estimate time consuming error prone because human activities. Building information modelling (BIM) can be used automate these short accurate estimate, BIM a relative new technology architect, engineering, (AEC), which has effect practices. 3D model geometry when attached will 4D 5D cost. aim study provide clear understanding about Iraqi by investigating benefits, challenges, motivation factors that helps applying it. results show awareness rate engineers actually weak with 67.5% respondents, main advantages collaboration, digital representation, visualization, effective QTO tool, reduce change order, respectively, challenges facing culture resistance, thoughts recent software traditional approach enough tools, respectively; help adoption adapted universities government support. remained behind adopting capabilities related (4D BIM) management (5D BIM). This research stepping-stone further promoting application industry.
