Challenge Blurb: | Most building development projects in Singapore utilise BIM (Building Information Modeling) in the Design Phase of the project. BIM is an intelligent 3D model that provides architecture, engineering, and construction professionals insights and tools to more efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure. Currently, additional applications like Time Management (4D), Cost Management (5D), Sustainability (6D) and Facility Management (7D) can be provided over and above the base BIM functionality. These are typically provided by third party providers over and above the base BIM software module. However, beyond the few applications available now, there is limited applicability of the BIM during the construction and post-construction phases of a typical building project as “Information for Reference”, despite the large amount of cost and manpower spent to create the 3D model. Given increasing manpower costs and the challenges in the availability of skilled construction personnel, it becomes important to explore the use of technology to reduce reliance on manual labour. Going forward, KAJIMA Group is looking to digitalise the processes during the construction and post-construction phases, and is looking to explore how BIM can be utilised in these areas. |
Challenge Description: | Problem Statement – How can the applications of BIM be expanded to the construction and/or post-construction phase(s) of a typical building project, so as to reduce need for manpower and increase overall productivity? What We Are Looking For – Proof-of-Concept (POC) for innovative BIM application(s) in the construction and post-construction phase(s) of a typical building project Ability to work with industry-compliant software and share information on the BIM as necessary using standard APIs Solution must demonstrate reduced need for manpower and increase overall productivity Solution should look beyond BIM applications for construction modelling and ideas already conceptualised as part of Building and Construction Authority’s Integrated Digital Delivery Initiative (https://www.bca.gov.sg/IntegratedDigitalDelivery/IDD_Plan.html) |
