  • Recently, countries in the South-east Asia are making efforts to enhance the construction industry system and introduce the construction management system. However, it is challenging to apply construction management in site due to lack of technology and professionals for CM. This can result in frequent safety accidents, cost overrun, schedule delay, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a clear evaluation of the overall situation regarding the level of technology and required competency. The objective of this research is to investigate on which management skills and items for CM are required to improve the construction management skills in South-east Asian construction industry. As a result of the questionnaire, most of the officials selected that the design phase and the construction phase are important works, and the engineers evaluated activities during the bidding phase, the design phase and the construction phase as important works for construction management. However, in most of the results, it was observed that the current competency of Vietnam construction is insufficient compared to the evaluated importance of the skills. This can be explained by the fact that they are not capable of managing construction projects effectively as compared to the importance. The results can help to realize the inadequate aspects of local construction industry, which will be the basis of improvements. Also, it is expected to be supportive to improve construction management in the countries and also provide indicators related to work stage or technology that should be acknowledged when establishing the advancing strategy for Southeast Asian countries in the future.

  • Recently, a goal was set globally to reduce the Carbon Dioxide ($CO_2$) emission at national levels by 30 % in comparison to the Business As Usual (BAU) pursuant to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. As construction industry accounts for as high as 40 % of the $CO_2$ emission by the entire industrial sector in Korea, efforts toward reducing emissions from the construction industry are essential. Buildings are mainly responsible for $CO_2$ emissions, and, to reduce the $CO_2$ emitted from the buildings, a fast and accurate calculation method is required to be introduced in the architectural design phase. If the standardized data based on Building Information Modelling (BIM) is utilized, $CO_2$ emissions can be calculated quickly and accurately during the design phase. However, it is difficult for the designers who lack the knowledge regarding $CO_2$ emissions to reduce and manage such emission during the planning and design phases of buildings by estimating the quantities of various materials and the corresponding $CO_2$ emissions. Accordingly, the objective of this study is to develop a BIM-based $CO_2$ emission estimation system for a rapid and objective analysis and verification of $CO_2$ emissions.

  • Architectural design work depends on information made from earlier phases such as feasibility study, planning, and conceptual design. This design guideline information includes design objectives, requirements, and constraints made by decision-making, and has great influence on various works of latter phases of design process. Despite of this cognition, however, the lack of design guideline information management still remains as one among the critical issues in design area. Design tools with design guideline information do not also address the issue of interoperability throughout the life-cycle of buildings. The purpose of this research is to propose a method for design guideline information management by using the IFC technology and IFC Property set (Pset) extension mechanism. The method comprises defining and mapping the practically used design guideline items and extensible IFC data model, and includes the management of relationships that exist between design guideline information and design model in the IFC data model.

  • This study reviewed the status of domestic and foreign Architectural Information Systems and related laws, analyzed the state of the architectural service industry, and proposed the phased introduction of BIM into Architectural Information Systems. The adoption of BIM in Architectural Information Systems both at home and abroad is generally at an unsatisfactory level, with only Singapore assuming a leading role in this area through activities such as the provision of a separate BIM submission service. Since it is desirable for BIM to be applied to additional types of architecture when the architectural licensing procedure is introduced, the different phases of adoption were set after analyzing the scales and types of architecture as defined in related laws. By analyzing the participation rates of architectural design firms in each scale of architecture design, the results demonstrated that, as the number of floors and total floor area in the building increases, the proportion of small scale architectural design firms involved decreases, while that of large-scale architectural design firms increases. The adoption of BIM is occurring mostly within large-scale architectural design firms, which is why it is desirable for its introduction into Architectural Information Systems to be separated into phases from large-scale buildings to increasingly small-scale architecture. In conclusion, this study divided the adoption of BIM in Architectural Information Systems into 6 stages and, following the Architectural administration procedure, established a segmented road map for the gradual activation of BIM.

  • Around the world, BIM application has been mandated. In Korea, an announcement was made in 2016 that BIM application will be required for all public constructions ordered by the Public Procurement Service. However, BIM cannot be used for building permits as Seumter, a building permit system, doesn't support BIM, even if it was used for building design. To utilize BIM for permit application, this study introduces a method of management for BIM-used permit application information. It was done by analyzing the data entered for new building permit application in Seumter. For the analysis, the permit application information is classified as internal BIM information and external BIM information and the required information is defined. To easily create and utilize the data types at the design stage, this study introduces a method of creating and utilizing a permit template. Also, this study developed a tool for combining the area information to add up all the related information such as gross floor area and floor area ratio. This study is significant in that it analyzes the required information for new building permit application among all the permit application types in Korea.

  • Using BIM (Building Information Modeling)-based design information to analyze various engineering processes has been widely adopted in construction projects. However, since typical building permit processes often require traditional 2D-based design information for submission and to obtain building approval, there are some challenges in delivering such data thru BIM-based design information. This paper proposed a methodology to generate and meet information requirements for permit applications and approvals based on BIM-based design information. To that end, we analyzed the required information necessary to make submissions for building approvals using the Seumter system. We then suggested a process to collect the required information from BIM-based data, and classified this into two types: BIM-internal and BIM-external information requirements. In addition, we proposed three algorithms to extract and to match between extracted BIM data and BIM-internal information requirements using IFC(Industry Foundation Classes). The proposed methodology enables to ensure the efficiency and the accuracy when providing data for building permit review and approval.

  • Today, as construction industry grows rapidly, technology has advanced throughout the whole industrial world. Architectural design phase has gone digital from the traditional method of drawing which was an important means in the past, and Building Information Modeling(BIM), an emerging new paradigm, changed architectural design process. So this paper studies the difference between a 2D-based and a BIM-based design process which are currently applied to domestic, and proposes a BIM-based integrated design process in order to help establish BIM to domestic efficiently.
