| Summary: | Design in architecture is one of the most diverse activities considered by all related
parties in construction industry. During the construction design process, many
problems and errors such as design changes & rework, incomplete design, standard
of quality in drawings and technical specifications, lack of communication, delays in
the drawings, mistakes and errors are arising from this industry day by day. This
research has been conducted with the aim to establish the contribution of Building
Information modeling (BIM) on architectural design process. The objectives of this
research includes, to recognize and examine the current conventional design
problems in construction projects in terms of time, cost and quality and to
recommend the benefit that is obtained by using BIM technology in the architectural
design process. This research was conducted by using qualitative method where
experience architects whom are currently implementing BIM in their firms was been
interviewed. The feedback and results obtained from the interview were analyzed by
using Microsoft Excel. Quota sampling method was used in selecting the
respondents, which consists of 8 architects implementing BIM. The analysis results
shows that, architect realize the problems and suggested the solutions based on their
experience in handling several of projects by using the conventional method. It also
shows that, BIM is the future tools for 3D design since it integrate all the design
documents, the drawing are well interpreted and the designer easily viewable
compared to conventional method. It is important, architects need to present their
design in 3D drafting to create a better visualization to the client. Adoption of BIM
should be implemented from the early process in order to manage construction
project effectiveness. |
