BIM can be applied throughout every stage of a building’s lifecycle to create an electronic record system specifically for the construction phase of building engineering. This system is composed of three main modules: basic data operations, common data operations, and project management operations. Following system development, data verification is conducted to ensure that the process workflows and functional requirements between operations are effectively implemented within the system architecture. After extensive testing and refinement of the database structure, no major errors were found, demonstrating that the database design allows users to access necessary information through the BIM system and ensures data preservation during the construction phase. Let’s explore the concept of an electronic record system based on BIM.
1. Although there are existing theories regarding methods for preserving building lifecycle information, comprehensive research on how to apply Building Information Modeling concepts to maintain and establish such information as a system has yet to be completed.
2. The system provides users with direct access to construction-phase documents and personnel data, improving traditional data retrieval methods and enhancing understanding of these resources. By leveraging RFID technology, tags are used to track relevant information within building rooms, which reduces retrieval time and ensures timely document storage.
3. Through the use of the electronic record system during construction, users can obtain quality assurance documentation and facilitate the integration of construction engineering with information technology during maintenance and operational phases. This system simplifies data queries and minimizes the risk of losing contact information, which can otherwise cause significant inconvenience later.
The Building Information System (BIM) functions as a relational database, where the 3D models it generates are composed of data drawn from multiple attribute tables. These attribute tables are interconnected, allowing real-time data linking that makes retrieving required information straightforward. While BIM’s applications and technologies are broad, they remain largely in the research and development stage, with limited publicly available information and resources. Many potential functions within the building information model are still under development. For example, quantity calculations provided by the BIM system can be integrated with cost estimation processes. If electronic financial data and contract contents from early project stages are recorded within the electronic record system, it would enable access to more complete and integrated records.
Today’s discussion on the exploration of an electronic record system based on BIM concludes here. The system for the construction phase focuses on storing and retrieving files and personnel data. By adding a comprehensive maintenance module, the database could also store various repair and inspection records from the building’s maintenance and management phases, thereby improving the overall efficiency of facility management.
