There exists no precedented case of quantity take-off, using parametric modeling, from BIM-based irregular structures. Civil 3D provides earthwork quantity take-off based on surface modeling. Generally, designers should enter data into the specification additionally after extracting quantity estimation from earthwork modeling design. The objective of this report is to suggest the method from quantity take-off to specification of BIM-based earthwork quantities. We intend to investigate earthwork take-off method by Civil3D and explain why parametric information extraction is required for quantity estimation and specification and how information of earthwork quantity based on solid and surface modeling is connected to open quantity take-off module. It is highly expected that this suggestion would be the practical methodology of earthwork quantity take-off and specification in the field of civil engineering.

BIM has been increasingly deployed to the construction industry in order to minimize ambiguity and to reduce errors of the communicated engineering information, for which poor communication due to fragmented industrial structure is mainly responsible. Known BIM use cases and related researches are focusing either (1) on a specialized solution for a given specialty area (e.g. structural engineering planning and early design, material take-off, constructability simulation, etc.), or (2) on handling interoperabillty issues with Industrial Foundation Classes (IFC); Neither of these approaches have sufficiently catered for collaboration and information management in actual construction projects. This paper proposes the strategy for BIM+PMIS (project management information system) system focused on improving PMIS which has been commercially provided with ASP(Application Service Provider). It also describes the architecture of the BIM-based information management module prototype, which is a key component of the BIM+PMIS system.

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.

BIM technology, which is widely used in the construction industry, has been introduced in various fields for the purpose of saving construction cost and reducing construction schedule. However, in the case of BIM-based cost estimate, there are various trials and errors in applying BIM technology which can be applied for calculating quantity and cost estimate. BIM-based cost estimate can improve the quantity accuracy and allow to easy modifications that were not expected in 2D-based construction process. However, for this purpose, it is necessary to take into consideration that interoperability between BIM data and cost information should be planed in advance. Besides, the definition of a BIM data specification is also required for the seamless data exchange and integrity in each phase of the construction process. Therefore, in this study, we propose a BIM - based cost estimation method and technology in each type of work applicable to the current domestic construction industry.

It is very important to estimate accurate construction total cost needed early in the project. In the initial phase of the design, the project cost estimates are determined by total quantity from design documents and the variables that affect the calculation of the total cost of the project. In order to determine accurate total construction cost, the contractor has to produce detailed quantity information based on the drawings and specifications. The process of preparing quantification and cost estimation documents is still being worked out manually, and a lot of errors have been occurred in many cases. Recent advances in information technology have led to the BIM based quantity takeoff and cost estimation. However, there are some limits to the extent to which the current specifications for BoQ documents are computed from BIM model. This research analyze the current BoQ cases and analyze how to make quantity takeoff possible through BIM. The study defined five levels of quantity category that could be produced by BIM. Only about 40% or indirectly usable items can be used when information is extracted to BIM modelling. This is very insufficient to fill out the BoQ. The BoQ document structure quantity takeoff specifications should be simplified in order to BIM based cost estimation more efficiently.

In recent years, numerous studies have attempted to extract quantity data by using Building Information Modeling (BIM). In terms of open-BIM based quantity take-off at the early design stage, only few studies were conducted in the field of cost engineering. A lack of compatibility of open BIM for information exchange is postulated as the cause. The Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) extension model has been developed to accommodate the interoperability with quantity take-off software. Improvement of open BIM for quantity take-off needs exchange requirements and model guidelines. For this purpose, the quantity data of IFC models were analyzed using BIM analysis tools. This paper also provides a proposal of requirements on open BIM based quantity take-off at the early design stage. Further this study have been develop the interface system for open BIM based quantity take-off requirements with the results on this study.

BIM can be utilized variously in construction management(CM) in the respect that it helps to manage comprehensively the construction information and make reliable decisions, but the adoption of BIM is insufficient in the CM area. The purpose of this study is to develop work process models and their guides in order to utilize BIM effectively in CM work at construction stage. This study defined BIM functions as 'BIM converting design', 'Model review', 'Data extraction', 'Automatic estimate', '4D simulation', 'Drawing creation', 'Engineering sector linkage analysis' through literature search, and generated CM works applicable to BIM by analyzing the CM work and process. This study developed BIM-based CM work process models by reconstructing the existing work process in connection with BIM function through an analysis on the relationship between BIM function and CM work, and reconstructing the role of each project participants. In order to improve the usefulness of the developed models, guides that described the BIM works of project participants were prepared through interviews and case studies. To validate the utilization of the models, a comparative analysis on the BIM process of precedent studies was also made and a survey was conducted on experts. This study can contribute to increasing the utilization of BIM in the CM area and can be helpful for CM companies to develop an in-house BIM guide. In the future, it will be necessary to make an assessment on the models from a business perspective through case applications and constantly update BIM-based CM work process model in consideration of the expansion of CM work due to the application of BIM.

Recently, BIM is used at several areas actively because of introduction of BIM in the construction industry. In particular, the recent many studies on activation of BIM information sharing is underway and it is the future direction of BIM. Moreover, it should be clearly realized. In the BIM levels of domestic construction phase, Interference Review, calculating volume estimates in part based on the active research is underway. However, still interested in reviewing building codes have relatively little interest. As BIM enabled, The methods of reviewing building codes should be transformed into a automated system by using information of BIM. In overseas, they are already using diverse softwares for reviewing modeling. Thus, For an automatic review of building regulations research is needed. this study is research on the development Domestic building codes as an automatic review process by using BIM. In order to Automatic review of the current building regulations by using BIM, this study analyzes the characteristics of each piece of information.

Quantity take-off is one of the critical tasks that determine the cost of a construction project, and its result should be accurate and reliable. BIM-based quantity take-off is a very attractive process for practitioners since the quantity take-off can be done automatically in a fast and accurate way. However, the result of BIM-based quantity take-off can be varied depending on how BIM was modeled. As a project progresses, more detailed design information is getting available, and it can be expected that the degree of completeness and accuracy for the BIMbased quantity take-off is going to be improved as well. However, when estimation is performed at each stage of a project life-cycle, there is no way to measure or forecast how accurate of the quantity take-off result from the BIM data given at the current stage. Therefore, this research derived factors that affect the BIM-based quantity takeoff and developed a methodology and framework to measure and forecast the completeness of BIM-based quantity take-off. The measurement framework and index that are proposed by this research was verified and validated for their consistency and feasibility through six pilot projects.

The market for compact houses is growing due to the demand for floor plans prioritizing user needs. However, clients often have difficulty communicating their spatial requirements to professionals including architects because they lack the means to provide evidence, such as spatial configurations or cost estimates. This research aims to create a framework that can translate sketched data-driven spatial requirements into 3D building components in BIM models to facilitate spatial understanding and provide building performance analysis to aid in budgeting in the early design phase. The research process includes developing a process model, implementing, and validating the framework. The process model describes the data flow within the framework and identifies the required functionality. Implementation involves creating systems and user interfaces to integrate various systems. The validation verifies that the framework can automatically convert sketched space requirements into walls, floors, and roofs in a BIM model. The framework can also automatically calculate material and energy costs based on the BIM model. The developed frame enables clients to efficiently create 3D building components based on the sketched data and facilitates users to understand the space and analyze the building performance through the created BIM models.
