A method of building information modelling implementation for structural engineering firms
Abstract
Building Information Modelling (BIM), a new concept and methodology, has received much attention lately. Various Structural Engineering Firms (SEFs) have observed substantial competitive benefits after its deployment. BIM offers a wide range of advantages, but its capacity has not even been completely exploited. The challenges of firm implementation, a procedure that necessitates significant alterations in firm business structure, are a major factor in this. However, there hasn't been much in-depth research on the assessment and integration of the research around the application of BIM in firms. To address the planning phase's complexity, which makes implementing BIM in these workplaces challenging, this article provides a framework for BIM deployment in the SEF. Additionally, a brand-new hybrid African Buffalo and African Vulture Optimization (AB-AVO) has been created to assess the state of technology. The technique suggested for BIM execution within SEF obviously and effectively recognises the firm's expectations and resources, sets out the needs required to create the BIM technique, and offers technical and clinical suggestions for monitoring and planning the execution. It is categorised by resource utilization, versatility, and adaptability. • This paper introduces a new concept and methodology of using BIM • The technique suggested for BIM execution within SEF obviously and effectively recognises the firm's expectations and resources • The method establishes guidelines for structural firm to adopt BIM in their monitoring, and planning the execution
