BIM-based progress management allows real-time updates of construction progress information. More importantly, it continuously monitors the project’s advancement by comparing planned schedules with actual progress. This enables detailed analysis of progress data, early detection of deviations, and maintenance of target plans. By identifying issues promptly, appropriate measures can be taken to resolve problems and prevent potential delays. BIM technology offers multiple perspectives and methods to analyze and control the progress of engineering projects effectively.
Using BIM technology for construction progress management offers various analytical and tracking tools within a four-dimensional model, including bar charts, network diagrams, progress curves, and resource curves. By integrating the construction schedule with the project’s 3D solid model, the four-dimensional model dynamically visualizes the construction process.
Bar charts and network diagrams represent the construction schedule in detail, breaking down the project into phases and milestones. Progress curves compare planned progress with actual progress, while the solid model uses color coding to distinguish completed tasks from those still pending. Resource curves illustrate the allocation and utilization of resources throughout the construction timeline.
The model continuously updates project progress information in real time, enabling analysis and comparison of actual versus planned progress. It calculates both actual and planned engineering quantities and identifies schedule deviations and other issues based on construction site conditions. When problems arise, corrective actions can be taken promptly to minimize their impact.
To reduce the negative effects of schedule deviations on overall project goals, it is essential to adjust local objectives and work plans as needed. This involves simulating, tracking, and controlling updated plans, revising construction strategies accordingly, and maintaining dynamic management throughout the project lifecycle.
