Abstract
The construction projects are recently having changes in their magnitude and complexity. Therefore, the amount of information created and managed by participants over project phases is enormous and this may cause difficulties in consistent and integrated data management. Because of the change in construction projects, there is a need to apply more logical and systematic ways to deal integrated data management. For the solution to this, BIM(Building Information Modeling), a new paradigm for integrated management of the information over project life-cycle, has been seriously considered. Also, the Korean Public Procurement Service announced that project over 50 billion Korean Won should introduce BIM into procurement starting from 2012. However, the studies and development have lack on studies of applying BIM and managing the data made using BIM in pre-design and maintenance stage. In pre-design stage, the concept of schematic design model is made to support for making major decisions concerning the size, shape and cost of the project. To decide the cost for the building in this stage by making use of BIM, estimating the amount of building materials used for constructing should be preceded. In this study, the pre-design BIM is explained to gain a better understanding of its process, since this paper focused on space programming stage. Finally, the paper suggests the concept process of estimating the amount of materials in building interior finishing from selecting the type for the elements of each space made to support the client for making decisions in space programming stage based on pre-design BIM.
