ABSTRACT
The adoption of building information modeling (BIM) as a common development tool, technology or process means the way in which projects are developed, and the information generated therein is becoming a far more holistic environment where input from the contributing disciplines must be managed more effectively. Each case study describes the project and its uses of BIM in place of conventional design and construction processes, and then looks at the challenges and solutions developed as part of the BIM adoption throughout these projects. These case studies demonstrate how this challenge is being addressed, following few projects over the past 7 years at different stages of BIM adoption in the Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) organisation. The case studies described here indicate that Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry as a whole is generally benefitting from BIM application to a wide range of construction design projects; however, there are still several issues to address before full implementation across all design schemes.
