Using of building information modeling for existing buildings assessment

Abstract

The use BIM technology for new buildings have been proving his efficiency since the technology had established, the efficiency in costs estimation, construction management, resource saving incresed the interest to use BIM for existing building. The researchers covered a wide range of potential benefits for BIM in existing buildings such as: Facilities management, restoration and retrofit planning, deconstruction process, assessment and monitoring, maintenance and energy efficiency. In this paper the use of BIM for estimating the degree of physical deterioration is covered, based on the method included in the literature in Russian federation.
