​​​​​Work Package 4 

​

​​This work package is led by partner Hochtief ViCon (HVC). The aim is: 

• To establish and validate comprehensive BIM (containing components, buildings and sites), and to generate BIM-based self-instruction models for construction and refurbishment, accessible on mobile devices of construction workers and other stakeholders.
  
• To develop a harmonized and standard way to communicate the different entities involved in new construction, refurbishment or maintenance phases of a building; and create a possibility to integrate feedback information from the construction workers (‘blue collars’) to BIM. This has a direct relation with skills development, as well as knowledge management at project and organisation level.​

​​Research in this WP will be carried out within the following areas:

• BIM modelling of new and existing buildings, addressing the levels of detail of component, building and construction site.
  
• Integration of data from 3D laser scanner to BIM, especially for modelling of existing buildings.
• Development of BIM for integration in energy services platforms (Building Management Systems, energy performance simulation tools) and the integration of information from 3D digital models into the BIM.
• Lifecycle BIM that evolves as design, construction, and as-built models of the buildings.
• Issues of “BIG DATA” and harmonisation of different data sources.
• Data interfacing between BIM, hardware instrument for measurement, and software tools for assessment.
• Development of self-instruction models
