The BIM techniques which manages information over the life cycle of construction project based on the 3-dimensional model are developing in the direction of integrated construction management including planning, design, analysis, estimation, 3D simulation and so on. The estimation model based on the BIM has different detail level and model information. In this study, the LOD of estimation model is catched for the bridge structures. The library classes are defined with construction information classification system, and the quantities of resources are calculated by class parameter using Microstation API. Finally, the automated estimation system using BIM based library is verified by the integrated model for adjustments of level of detail.

Shop drawing tasks conducted after finishing coordinated or engineering design have great influences on the quality and cost of a project. However, despite the development of commercial BIM applications, shop drawings have mainly produced manually in certain engineering fields. Incorrect shop drawings with human errors have occurred various problems such as cost overrun, time delay and reworks. An automated shop drawing publishing from BIM is expected to resolve these problems. Despite attempts for automate shop drawing production, the field of mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) is yet regarded challenging due to complexity of components and connection. In this research, we develop a process for automated producing 3D MEP shop drawings in BIM environment as following steps: to analyze conventional MEP shop drawing process, to identify detailed process that can be automated, to classify existing MEP objects and assign codes usable in BIM, and to develop an application. The validation of automated process is conducted against 10 clean room projects in which MEP is more complex and its cost is higher than other projects in terms of productivity and workers' satisfaction. Results show that the number of manpower for shop drawing is reduced by 30%, and the working time is shortened by 31%. Personal opinions of involved practitioners is interpreted as positive as the average rate of agrement on practicability, easy-to-use and necessary retouch tasks is around 66%.

Recently, Productivity of the construction industry has been decreasing than other industries. Because of this, BIM is being spread in the construction industry. However, quality criteria for BIM data is insufficient. Regulation information is an important factor for initial architectural design evaluations. However, building code and related regulation are numerous. National building code structure in Korea is much more complex than other countries. The purpose of this study is to suggest the typology method of building code and apply to real regulations. To achieve this purpose, the authors have extracted required information to from original regulation for code checking and suggested mapping methods between extracted information and information of IFC scheme. In addition, the authors have represented EXPRESS-G diagram for extracting information from IFC scheme and suggested code checking method through stair case. Output of this study can be used as a base line data for automated code checking system based on open BIM. Automated code checking system will be utilized in architectural design evaluations and supported to increase design quality. It can be used to mount in SEUMTER that is the construction administration system of Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT).

This study proposes a BIM-based space model generation framework for managing maintenance history in apartments. While BIM adoption in design and construction phases is increasing, its use in operation and maintenance remains limited, particularly in the continuous utilization of as-built BIM models. To address this, the study introduces a methodology for automated space model generation using DYNAMO, analyzing 1,875 maintenance records and long-term repair plans from two apartment projects over two years. The framework was applied to case projects, achieving a 100% space model creation rate for dedicated spaces and 108.91% for public spaces, proving its applicability. This suggests that the automated space model generation process proposed in this study is applicable. The significance of this study is that it presents a model transition framework for the operation and maintenance phase of the as-built BIM model. In addition, it is of research value that a simplified BIM space model is proposed to overcome the limitation of not being able to manage the history of each part in the current maintenance phase. This study can be utilized as a basis for future BIM guidelines applicable to operation and maintenance phases and delivery guidelines for as-built BIM models.

Recently, the mandate on utilizing BIM implemented by public institutions of many countries has great impact on the significantly increasing practices of BIM. The improvement of work efficiency and productivity, which is occurred by BIM adoption, depends on the consistency and accuracy of data. To maximize the benefit of BIM, the interests in BIM data quality have been enlarging all over the world. The BIM data quality pre-check, which is conducted by designer in the design phase, offers opportunities for quality improvement by continuously assessing BIM data. However, BIM quality pre-check is being conducted under arbitrary interpretation of users because of the absence of specific review factors and assessment methods for checking BIM quality. The purpose of this study is to establish an automated BIM quality pre-checking system to improve BIM design quality effectively and efficiently. It could be expected to meet the owner's requirements and to minimize the cost and time occurred additionally from revising and reproducing data by constructing consistency and accuracy of it.

As major public owner agencies in Korea have improved the application level of BIM, many design and construction companies are paying more attention to ways to improve actual work productivity in the BIM execution process. In this study, we introduce a method to automate the placement of BIM libraries, a recurring task in the BIM-based design process that serves as a prime example of BIM design automation methodologies. In particular, we classify the target surfaces for placement of BIM libraries into straight lines, curves, vertical planes, and surfaces. For each target surface, we implement a BIM library automatic placement model in Dynamo, considering the spacing and alignment according to the distance between the centers of two objects and the linear length. The results of case studies confirm that the proposed method can be employed according to various placement environments and conditions with the working time shortened. The study proposes that various objects and structures that need to be placed according to the terrain characteristics can be placed accurately, and work productivity can be significantly improved through the automation of placement.

The objective of this paper is to introduce a project on developing Finish Drawing Automation System. The system aims to improve efficiency of the BIM-based estimation, which is realized by automatic derivation of three-dimensional geometry models of the finish details. First, overall workload differences between the drawing-based estimation methods and the BIM-based methods are analyzed. Second, an automated finish detail design method is proposed as a time-saving measure for the BIM-based estimation, as manual modeling accounts for the most time spent in the model-based estimation process. Finally, the proposed system is evaluated using a case of washboard design.

Recent proliferation of building information modeling (BIM) has actively stimulated integrated utilization of geometric (graphic) and non-geometric (non-graphic) data. Nevertheless, physically and logically, linking and maintaining these two different types of data in an integrated manner requires enormous overhead efforts for practical implementation. In order to address this problem, this paper proposes a concept and structure of the object breakdown structure (OBS) that facilitates advanced BIM implementations in an automated and effective manner. Proposed OBS numbering system has secure rules for organizing graphic objects in full considerations of effectively integrating with non-geometric data (e.g. cost and schedule). It also removes repetitive linking process caused by design changes or modifications. The result of applying this concept to a housing project revealed that only 120 definitions controled over 6,000 graphic objects for full integration with cost and schedule functions.
