THESIS interation in the construction industry
In this chapter, an introduction to this research project is provided. First, an overview of the
(Dutch) construction industry is provided. Then, the concept of Building Information Modelling (BIM) is introduced, followed by some information about the case, the problem statement, research goals and methodology. We conclude this chapter by providing some clarity on the scope and limitations of this work, as well as an overview of the structure of this report. The Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry is an industry that leaves a visible mark on the world. Buildings and other constructions are a large part of the daily view of billions of people. Buildings are part of our cultural heritage; think of master pieces such as the pyramids of Egypt, the colosseum and the Forum Romanum in Rome, the Eiffel Tower in Paris. All these buildings are known around the world, and form a huge part of the culture of these cities and even countries. It is also a functional industry; people need housing, schools, offices and transportation. The AEC industry is a diverse one; the building projects range from large hotels and stadiums to roads and aqueducts. Larger projects often require collaboration between many different parties throughout the lifecycle of a construction project. In order to facilitate this collaboration, we have made some strides since we build the pyramids of Egypt. Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been hailed as a tool perfect for collaboration, and has been the focus of digital transformation within the AEC industry for the past ten years. Using this technology, it is possible to digitally construct a virtual model of a building (Azhar Salman, 2011). In the years since its introduction, BIM has grown to be the centrepiece of the AEC industry (Eastman, 2011). 1.1 Context 1.1.1 Dutch AEC industry According to the central bureau of statistics, The Dutch AEC industry is responsible for roughly four to five percent of the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of The Netherlands (Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek 2017a). In reality, the economic value of this industry is even bigger, since the construction industry collaborates extensively with different parties, such as advisors and suppliers. Download 2.02 Mb.
