This paper aims to describe a case study of parametric interior design based on BIM (Building Information Modeling). As the practical use of BIM-based design grows, its influence expands into the field of interior architecture design. BIM makes possible to check various design plan, reach decision making in an effective way, and change design plan in an efficient method. Therefore, BIM is also promising field in interior architecture design. However, compared to other fields in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, there have been less research and projects on BIM in the field of interior architecture. For increasing the feasibility of adapting BIM in interior architecture design, this paper describes a case study-projecting images for designing interior panels using parametric modeling. This process needs elaborate, delicate, and precise steps for harmonious output. For continuous use of building, users look forward to the design which variable and changeable according to user's preference and environment. Therefore, demand for parametric design in the interior design part such as panel pattern design for various decoration is growing. Treated process in this paper deals with an advanced phase which much effective in decreasing time consumption and useless part of process. Finally, this paper suggests the possibility of using BIM in the interior design process and field where BIM can be applied.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) and modular construction are regarded as important technologies that address several issues faced by the construction industry. However, the application guidelines for BIM in current modular construction projects are insufficient. This paper presents the preliminary work on the analysis of BIM utilization in a modular construction project; a five-point likert scale questionnaire was conducted to assess the necessity of BIM applications by the Necessity Index(NI) of nine categories(U1~U9) across two construction phases (onsite and offsite). The survey results indicate that applications for BIM based quantity takeoff for offsite phase(U4) as well as BIM modeling for module joint details(U8) were deemed to be the most necessary in each phase. The results of this study can be used as detailed guidelines for the integration of BIM in modular construction projects.

Construction is a competitive industry and successful contractors must be able to win bids to obtain projects. Cash flow analysis not only determines actual profit at the end of the project, but also estimates required cash resources or cash ballances at the end of every month. Cash flow analysis is important in managing a construction project; however, it requires extensive information that is not immediately available to the general contractor. Before contractors can perform cash flow analysis, they must first complete a series of pre-requisites such as the quantity take off, scheduling, and cost estimating, followed by accurate assessments of project costs incurred and billable progress made. Consequently, cash flow analysis is currently a lengthy, uncertain process. This paper suggests improved cash flow analysis can be developed using data extraction in Building Information Modeling (BIM). BIM models contain a wealth of information and tools have been developed to automate a series of process such as quantity takeoff, scheduling, and estimating. This paper describes a prototype tool to support BIM-based, automated cash flow analysis.

The rough design information is only available from BIM(Building Information Model) based schematic design. So, it is difficult to obtain sufficient information for generating BOQ. Like 2D design, there are some problems that the results are depend on what the choice of cost estimator. However, the most research of BIM based cost estimation are focus on quantity takeoff, the consideration of work item for generating BOQ is insufficient. Therefore, this paper present automatic inference process of work items in a BOQ using ontology. The proposed process and ontology is validated through applying tiling construction. If the proposed process is utilized, it is expected the basis of developing generation method for consistent BOQ by resolving intervention of cost estimator's arbitrary decision.

In building construction project, there are numerous information or data parts across many different software applications and professional specialists. BIM (Building Information Modeling), as a medium for managing information generated during construction project, it is intended to enhance the effectiveness of construction management and reap a lot of advantages such as, automatic quantity takeoff, error-free estimation, 4D(3D+Time), 5D(4D+Cost) simulation. Nevertheless, the overall and practical effectiveness of BIM utilization is difficult to justify at this stage. While helpful, there are some limitation when BIM applied to construction management due to the differences of data processing process between BIM and work in the field, limitations of information generated from BIM object and interoperability problem among BIM application. Therefore, this paper propose a framework integrating BIM with cost-schedule information using IFC. And we construct the system prototype based on the framework and performed case study to examine the framework. The proposed framework provides the information basis for BIM based cost-schedule integration. ultimately, the framework increase the utilization of BIM and work efficiency of construction industry by supporting an understanding of information.

The objective of this study is to propose an automated algorithm for precise cutting length of slab rebar complying with regulations such as anchorage length, standard hooks, and lapping length. This algorithm aims to improve the traditional manual quantity take-off process typically outsourced by external contractors. By providing accurate rebar quantity data at BBS(Bar Bending Schedule) level from the bidding phase, uncertainty in quantity take-off can be eliminated and reliance on out-sourcing reduced. In addition, the algorithm allows for early determination of precise quantities, enabling construction firms to preapre competitive and optimized bids, leading to increased profit margins during contract negotiations. The proposed algorithm not only streamlines redundant tasks across various processes, including estimating, budgeting, and BBS generation but also offers flexibility in handling post-contract structural drawing changes. In particular, the proposed algorithm, when combined with BIM, can solve the technical problems of using BIM in the early phases of construction, and the algorithm's formulas and shape codes that built as REVIT-based family files, can help saving time and manpower.

현재 국내외에서 Building Information Modeling을 적용한 여러 분야의 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있으며, 일부 국외에서는 3D 기반의 견적을 실제 프로젝트에 반영하고 있다. 반면, 국내 건설 프로젝트에서는 여전히 2D 설계도면과 물량산출 프로그램을 이용하여 견적이 이루어지고 있다. 작업의 신속성 및 정확성을 중요시하는 국내 견적 문화에서는 3D 기반의 물량산출 방식 도입을 부정적으로 바라보는 시각이 있으나, 향후 건설 산업의 경쟁력 확보를 위해서 3D 기반 견적작업이 필요하다. 이에 국외에서 상용화된 견적 시스템을 국내 건설 프로젝트에 적용한 결과, 몇 가지 한계점이 있는 것으로 드러나 국내 견적 방식에 적합한 3D기반의 물량산출 프로그램 개발이 절실한 상황이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내 건설 산업에서의 물량 산출 특성을 반영한 공법기반 견적자동화 시스템 개발 및 검증을 통해 국내 3D 기반의 견적 도입을 앞당기고자 한다.

High-rise buildings have recently increased over the residential, commercial and office facilities, thus an understanding of construction cost for high-rise building projects has been a fundamental issue due to enormous construction cost as well as unpredictable market conditions and fluctuations in the rate of inflation by long-term construction periods of high-rise projects. Especially, recent violent fluctuations of construction material prices add to problems in construction cost forecasting. This research, therefore, develops a time-series model with the Box-Jenkins methodologies and material prices time-series data in Korea in order to forecast future trends of unit prices of required materials. BIM (Building Information Modeling) approaches are also used to analyze injection time of construction resources and to conduct quantity takeoff so that total material price can be forecasted. Comparative analysis of Predictability of tentative ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) models was conducted to determine optimal time-series model for forecasting future price trends. Proposed BIM based time series forecasting model can help to deal with sudden changes in economic conditions by estimating future material prices.
