Abstract

Building Information Modelling (BIM) developments in providing that it can be used not just for geometric modeling of a building's performance, but also for project management. The construction industry benefits greatly from modular building technologies. also, in BIM the entire process of planning, design, preparation of shop drawings, manufacture, and construction might be expedited. Early in the design process, physical incompatibilities between the structure, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems can be easily discovered. The main purpose of this article is to see how far the use of BIM has resulted in reported benefits on various offsite construction projects (OCP). Secondary data from enormous BIM-enabled offsite construction projects is used to conduct this analysis. A set of project success criteria was created, and content analysis was performed to assess how well each project met each of the criteria. Throughout the project life cycle, the most commonly reported benefit has cost reduction and management. There have also been significant time savings noted. The use of BIM software was cited as one of the major drawbacks. Cost-benefit analysis, as well as education and training, are essential activities in tackling the problems of BIM implementation. Furthermore, while processes for new construction are in place, the great majority of existing structures have yet to be maintained, rehabilitated, or demolished utilizing BIM. The prospective benefits of effective resource management spur study into how to solve the typical problems of building condition uncertainty and inadequate documentation in today's constructions.
