Recently, as smart construction has become more active, construction companys are evaluating their smart construction capabilities in order to transform into smart construction companies. However, the revitalization of smart construction doesn't only apply to construction companies, the level of utilization of all participants, including owners, designers, construction project managers, and construction company, must be improved. Therefore, this study aims to present a model that evaluate the building information modeling (BIM) utilization level for measuring the BIM utilization level of construction management companies in executing construction project management. In this study, an AHP questionnaire survey targeting BIM practitioners to calculate the weight of each BIM utilization item and score it to construct evaluation model and evaluate it by applying it to construction management companies are conducted. As a result of the evaluation using model, there were differences between companies in the number of BIM users, and in the qualitative evaluation, it is mainly used for interference review, constructability review, and design change management. Therefore, in order to revitalize BIM, it is believed that it is necessary to strengthen BIM utilization ability through separate training for construction manager (CMr) and to present clear utilization standards and scope of work for BIM utilization in performing construction management tasks. Consequently, evaluating more construction management companies using the model presented in this study will result in the transition of CM companies to smart construction and revitalization of BIM adoption.

With the growing adoption of Building Information Modeling(BIM), many studies on BIM-based quantity take-off are being conducted. However, the absence of standardized quantity take-off protocols for BIM-based methods has led to a decline in accuracy. This study aimed to compare quantity take-off results from 3D models with those derived from traditional 2D-based quantity take-off methods and modeling approaches, specifically for finishing work, and to identify the underlying causes of any discrepancies. The analysis revealed significant variations in the quantities of walls, floors, and ceilings, with walls exhibiting the largest deviation. The primary cause of these discrepancies was that when interior and exterior surfaces were modeled as a single composite object, it became impossible to accurately set the height of individual finishing materials, resulting in overestimations of the quantities. Consequently, the study demonstrated that modeling interior and exterior components as separate composite objects in 3D models can significantly reduce quantity take-off discrepancies. Moving forward, the establishment of precise quantity take-off standards through additional case studies will be crucial for improving cost management in BIM applications.

건축, 토목 분야의 정보 교환을 위한 표준으로 주목받고 있는 BIM 모델의 국제 표준인 IFC 표준을 위해, 소프트웨어가 IFC 표준에 맞게 유효한 정보를 입출력 하도록 도와주고, IFC 파일이 표준에 맞는지 검증할 수 있는 모듈을 개발했다. 특히, 지역별 및 국가별 상황에 맞게 BIM 모델을 수정하거나 확장해 사용하도록 권고하고 있는 상황에서 다양한 확장 IFC 표준을 효과적으로 지원할 수 있도록 IFC 표준을 정의하는 EXPRESS 언어로부터, 객체 지향 언어를 위한 소프트웨어 개발 라이브러리를 자동으로 생성하고, 해당 SDK를 활용해 IFC 모델을 검증하는 라이브러리를 자동으로 생성하며, IFC 파일을 검증할 수 있는 독립적인 실행 파일도 자동으로 생성할 수 있도록 했다. 또한 객체 지향 라이브러리를 사용함으로써 주어진 IFC 모델을 효과적으로 문서화 할 수 있도록 HTML 생성 도구를 개발하거나 3차원 형상 확인이 가능하도록 VRML 생성 도구를 개발하는 등의 작업이 쉽게 이뤄짐을 확인했다. 이렇게 자동화된 BIM 소프트웨어 개발 도구는 IFC 모델의 수정이나 확장을 고려하는 BIM 소프트웨어 개발 프로젝트의 생산성을 향상시키고, 해당 시스템의 운영에 신뢰도를 높이는 것은 물론이며, 향후 국내 실정에 맞게 운영될 BIM 인증 제도에도 활용하면 기존의 수작업 방식 인증제도에 비해 인증에 걸리는 시간과 비용을 줄이는 것은 물론 인증 자체의 객관성과 정확성, 투명성과 신뢰성을 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The importance of using construction data is increasing in accordance with the recent trend in the smart construction. However, construction project and maintenance information is distributed on the web, and the existing BIM(Building Information Modeling) information exchange and linking method using IFC(Industry Foundation Classes) cannot support connection with BIM data and web resources. This study aims to establish the BIM-based port facility data integration system using linked data(LD) technology in order to integrate BIM and heterogeneous data in the port maintenance domain. To this end, the port BIM-based ifcOWL and port facility maintenance ontology were designed, and LD was built for the BIM and maintenance information of Busan New Port 2-1 Pier3, a BIM pilot project. In addition, service prototypes such as search, statistics and SPARQL(SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language) endpoint functions were implemented using the issued LD. The LD-based information utilization system is expected to improve the reusability of information by converting the existing closed information system into an open system and BIM and maintenance data as a web resource in a standard format.

Although the construction industry is changing from a 2D-based to a 3D BIM-based management process, 2D drawings are still used as standards for permits and construction. For this reason, 2D deliverables extracted from 3D BIM are one of the essential achievements of BIM projects. However, due to technical and institutional problems that exist in practice, the process of extracting 2D deliverables from BIM requires additional work beyond generating 3D BIM models. In addition, the consistency of data between 3D BIM models and 2D deliverables is low, which is a major factor hindering work productivity in practice. To solve this problem, it is necessary to build BIM data that meets information requirements (IRs) for extracting 2D deliverables to minimize the amount of work of users and maximize the utilization of BIM data. However, despite this, the additional work that occurs in the BIM process for drawing creation is still a burden on BIM users. To solve this problem, the purpose of this study is to increase the productivity of the BIM process by automating the process of extracting 2D deliverables from BIM and securing data consistency between the BIM model and 2D deliverables. For this, an expert interview was conducted, and the requirements for automation of the process of extracting 2D deliverables from BIM were analyzed. Based on the requirements, the types of drawings and drawing expression elements that require automation of drawing generation in the design development stage were derived. Finally, the method for developing automation technology targeting elements that require automation was classified and analyzed, and the process for automatically extracting BIM-based 2D deliverables through templates and rule-based automation modules were derived. At this time, the automation module was developed as an add-on to Revit software, a representative BIM authoring tool, and 120 rule-based automation rulesets, and the combinations of these rulesets were used to automatically generate 2D deliverables from BIM. Through this, it was possible to automatically create about 80% of drawing expression elements, and it was possible to simplify the user's work process compared to the existing work. Through the automation process proposed in this study, it is expected that the productivity of extracting 2D deliverables from BIM will increase, thereby increasing the practical value of BIM utilization.

Many construction projects have extensively adopted building information modeling (BIM), and various institutions and standards have been developed domestically in Korea. However, the current process that is used to calculate building space area has a significant shortcoming in that there are two different laws to apply the method of measurement considering space boundaries for building element guidelines. For example, space area can be calculated by a polygon, which is modeling using a BIM-based computer aided design program, such that the space polygon is always exported as an inner-edge type. In this paper, we developed an automated algorithm to convert coordinates of space representation using industry foundation classes based BIM data. The proposed algorithm will enable engineers responsible for space management to use a BIM-based model directly in the space programming process without having to do additional work. The proposed process can help ensure that space area is more accurately and reliably.

In this paper, a retaining wall system, developed using building Information modeling (BIM), is presented. Based on the information from a literature review, elementary technologies for the system were defined and developed. First, for the elementary technology, BIM libraries were constructed using standards and previous study results to achieve versatility and reusability. Second, methods for determining the quantity take-off (QTO) of a retaining wall were reviewed for an earth-work calculating system. Additionally, inverse distance weighting interpolation was used to generate topography. Finally, four formulas for calculating the QTO were proposed and devised for each element. After its development, the BIM system was analyzed and verified through comparison with a two-dimensional drawing-based QTO. The proposed system is deemed to be practical for determining the QTO of retaining walls and earth works. The contributions and limitations of the research are discussed in this paper.

The Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs has promulgated the mandatory design of BIM for road projects of more than 50 billion won by 2020 under the Basic Plan for the Sixth Construction Technology Promotion. As a result, major public clients are attempting to implement BIMs that are appropriate to the situation of each institution. On the other hand, it is difficult to design and construct a proper BIM and accumulate BIM information of the ordering organization because the technical guidelines and standard classification system that can perform BIM effectively have not been presented sufficiently. The characteristics of the road should be managed systematically, e.g., atypical objects, such as earthworks, which are constantly changing along a line; large objects, such as bridges and tunnels; and facilities, such as signs and soundproof walls. To achieve this, a multitude of standard systems should be developed and disseminated, but there have been insufficient studies on practical methods. To solve this problem, this study developed a BIM standard object classification system in the road sector to meet the international standard, accommodate a multi-dimensional information system, and provide a more effective BIM standard information environment that can be utilized easily by practitioners.

BIM libraries for architectural projects have been developed and distributed. However, they do not define physical and logical quality control methods for individual library objects, so there are some difficulties in securing reliability of 3D library models converted from 2D drawings. Because the BIM library contents can be built by participating material and member-fabrication companies, after making individual BIM library objects, a certification process through separate quality verification is very important when delivering as-built BIM libraries. Since the BIM library should have generality for usage, it is necessary to secure the quality of BIM library objects according to consistent verification standards. Therefore, this study suggests a quality verification method for certifying a BIM library object from physical and data perspectives by comparing existing 2D drawings in the BIM libraries built based on standardized 2D drawings from MOLIT. This method could be widely used for quality verification in delivering BIM libraries by companies in the construction sector and operated with rule set data for quality verification of as-built BIM models.

There are many researches to make low-energy building. Lots of them focus on facility systems and insulation performance of building materials. However, not only systematic solutions but also approaches in early design stages are important to reduce energy consumption. Using BIM(Building Information Modelling) is considered as an effective and efficient way to simulate building energy and decide alternatives than traditional energy simulation because BIM based energy simulation makes to reduce much time for energy modeling. This study focuses on development of optimized geometry for super tall office buildings in Seoul, Korea. Specifically, length to width ratio and building orientation are main topics of this study because these two topics are the most basic and preceding factors deciding mass design. In this study, Revit MEP 2011 and Ecotect Analysis 2011 are used to make case models and calculate energy load in early design stages. Energy properties of material abide by Korean Standards for Energy Conservation in Building, Korean Guideline for Energy Conservation in Public Office and ASHRAE Standard in USA. This study presents best length to width ratio of plan and optimized orientation by evaluating the case models. Furthermore, this study suggests what should be considered for each case to decrease energy load.
