BIM Software Framework for Prefabricated Construction: Case Study Demonstrating BIM Implementation On a Modular House

T Samarasinghe, Priyan A. Mendis, Tuan Ngo, W. Charith K. Fernando

Abstract

Building information modeling and prefabrication are concepts that are undergoing intense study in the construction industry. As the technology to implement BIM is commercially available, many industries have started to use BIM in construction related projects. However, BIM implementation can vary significantly according to the nature of the project. Therefore, development of a BIM software framework for a particular industry to meet its requirements is the most efficient way to use Building Information Modeling. This paper will present a BIM software framework developed for prefabricated construction industry and will demonstrate the use of the framework during the design stage of a modular pre-fab house.
