Country like India has shown very less interest in adopting BIM over the past year, survey conducted by Indian built environment sector, RICS school of built environment and KPMG found that 22 percent of respondent are currently using BIM, 27 percent reported that they are aware of BIM and thinking to adopt, 43 percent of respondent claimed that they are just aware and 8 percent are unaware of BIM [17], Smart Market Report published in their blog that according to a report by Autodesk, International firm using BIM in India with construction market valued at $140 billion (₹ 840 billion) in 2014 and the forecasted growth of BIM in Indian construction market will be $620 billion (₹
37,200/- billion) by 2020 [18]. Kumar and Mukharjee reported, the disciplines in which BIM is adopted are Architecture 92 percent, Engineering 43 percent, Construction 38 percent, Construction Management 40 percent, Pre- project Planning 36 percent, Structural Steel designer and fabricators 22 percent, MEP Sub-Contractor 15 percent, Owners 6 percent, and others 13 percent and the mostly used software among all the BIM software is Autodesk Revit with 64 percent of BIM users are using in their respective firm [19]. BIM now a days has become standard for Project
Management.

1. Conflict resolution and clash detection
One of the common problems of different disciplines plan for a construction project is the geometrical design inconsistencies [10]. BIM allows the user to identify the element in 3D which interfere with each other or occupy same space. BIM clash detection is an intelligent system is an intelligent system and it combines geometry
OSI – Open Systems Interconnection - is reference model for how applications can communicate over a network. A reference model is a conceptual framework for understanding relationships.
The paper presents a detailed discussion on implementation of BIM in a construction project by defining a BIM team in the various phases of construction i.e. from conception to commissioning. Also, the paper presents a brief discussion on processing the information utilizing the i-rooms.
In today’s organizational structure many of the organizations realize that business intelligence (BI) can provide solutions and important competitive advantages and thus want to evolve their BI strategies beyond spreadsheets.
Sallam, (2011) developed a survey based on customers rating their BI platform designers. Sallam gathered data on major corporations such as IBM Cognos, Oracle, Microstratgey, and Microsoft to small companies such as Corda and Qliktech to compare end user satisfaction. “With the exception of development tools and BI infrastructure, in general, the satisfaction with capabilities rises along with the prevalence of use. Only reporting is used extensively by most respondents (68%) while six capabilities are extensively used by 25% or less. Use of reporting and ad hoc analysis experienced the most significant decline in extensive use while interactive visualization and dashboard use grew the most” (Sallam, p. 6, 2011). End users utilize BI that is easy to understand and offers them value. Some BI systems may be easy to use but offer no value to the end user or the system could offer value but its complexity reduces efficiency elsewhere muted or canceling out the BI systems
The overall success for IDEO’s comes from the aspects of organizational process, culture and management. IDEO is an overall outstanding product development firm which helps organizations design products, environments, digital experiences and even services. The company does so through design thinking “methodology”. In other words, IDEO has a design philosophy as a role of prototyping. IDEO has as proven to be doing a spectacular job at designing products and services for these organization considering that they have designed over thousands of products.
BIM contains precise geometry and relevant data needed to support the design, procurement, fabrication, and construction required to recognize the building (Eastman et al. 2008). Basically, the purpose of BIM is to simulate the construction environment in a virtual database that can be used during the physical construction as well as a virtual model for operations and maintenance after construction is finished. In the beginning, you have access all areas of the project and can determine whether certain areas will need more time in design, where various clashes may happen, or what could be changed for a lower cost. or to speed up the building phase. In his article, Salaman Azhar said, “It is important to note that BIM is not just software, it is a process and software. BIM means not only using three-dimensional intelligent models but also making sig...
Communication is a process where information is shared by two or more persons and has relevance for at least one of the persons involved. Further, communication implies that individuals
The construction phase would not be possible without the knowledge of basic geometry. Points, lines, measurements and angles are often used to lay out the building in accordance to the architect drawings.
Digital fabrication is coming into the construction industry to create precisely crafted and complex buildings in response to the new competitive environment and construction market demands. Thanks to advanced technology, the good revolution can be seen in most industrial activities. Almost all of the industry sectors are trying to keep themselves up to date with new related innovation to boost their sustainable growth. However, unfortunately architects and construction engineers have been more conservative despite all of the massive global investment in the construction sector. This conservative trend was started many years after great prosperity and success in the other industries. As an example, in comparison with the more developed automotive industry, the construction industry has been weighing the pros and cons of doing automation, and it is still under development. Despite some limitations and lack of information over the 80’s and even 90’s, but the current status indicates good progress. Today, most of architectural design is no longer possible without computer technologies. The models have become more complex and require advanced tools to understand design codes and implement fabrication processes. It can be said, that the advanced automated tools with a user-friendly programming system can bring incredible solutions for architects and construction engineers. Many researchers have made significant studies to consider all possibilities and limitations of digital design-construction in various types of procedures.
I believe that 3d printing definitely will be incorporated into construction in the near future as it improves the construction process making it faster and cheaper. However, before this can happen, I feel more research should be done to develop the process further. For example, the number of materials that can be used are limited and this clearly showed in the buildings built in China as the finishes could've been more appealing. Also printers can't print using more than two materials and the sizes of the printed objects are limited to the size of the printer. In my opinion this reduces the flexibility that the printer is supposed to provide the designer. Lastly, I do not agree with allowing the printers to replace jobs. If we allow machines to take over the future, I believe we will eventually all be out of jobs. Overall, 3d printer still has a long way to go and I look forward to where it takes the construction industry in the
Business intelligence is a series of technologies, processes and tools required to convert data into information that is further converted to knowledge and plans respectively that yield profitable business accomplishments. Business intelligence consists of components such as knowledge management, warehousing, data mining, querying, reporting and business analytics. The definition of business intelligence is knowledge acquired about a business via the use of various software and hardware technologies that enable an organization to transform data into information or plans (MÜLLER et al., 2013). Companies and organizations employ business intelligence to cut costs, improve decision-making and in identifying new business ventures. What makes business management special is that it allows the company team to use data strategically in responding ...
Communication is the sharing of information between two or more persons or groups to reach a common understanding. In the communication, the information or ideas conveyed must be understood. Effective communication allows participants to properly exchange ideas. Communication is the two way process of exchanging information. Communication can be done through oral, verbal and written communication. Information is transmitted as words, tone of voice, and gestures and postures. Information can be shared face to face or by telephone, fax, e-mail, text messaging, videoconferencing, electronic-portfolios, chat, memos, letters, reports, etc. The number and types of methods increase as information technology systems become ever more involving a great deal of worldly experience and knowledge.
The correlation to in increased growth in civil engineers and lack of growth in Architect leads to seem that civil engineers are taking on more duties that in the past were geared toward architects. The boom of technology has also affected the industry as many Architects and civil engineers use drawing and sketches to provide detail in their projects. Inclusion of 3D models and CAD software has become more relevant than paper.

My interest in the field of information management was triggered when I began developing small projects. As a group, we designed and developed a few mid-term projects in third year of engineering – a banking system portal, a website for my college, and a training and placement office software. I was the lead in developing a hotel management system, which was awarded the “Best Project” prize at the intra college project competition. These projects made
