Digital BIM Information Manager (eBIM): A Decision Support System for Whole Life Management of BIM-based Construction Projects.

建筑信息建模(BIM)因其预期的促进协作以及随后的成本、时间和碳排放改善的好处，已成为建筑项目交付的标准。这在一定程度上是由英国政府自2016年以来在所有中央采购项目上使用BIM的授权推动的，这反过来又推动了各种标准、指南和协议的制定。然而，BIM在理论上和实践中存在着巨大的差距，项目未能实现预期的BIM效益，原因包括不一致、协调不良、信息缺失和职责混淆等(Wang and Zhang，2021，Akponeware and Adamu，2017)。为了促进英国政府设想的信息一致性和BIM效益的实现，本项目提出了一个智能协作式BIM管理平台(BIM信息管理器的数字形式)，以在项目利益相关者之间有效地标准化、自动生成、沟通和协调BIM流程、任务、文档和信息。**它由四个关键功能组成：*(A)BIM项目管理决策支持模块(BIM-DSS)**：这个公共数据环境(CDE)平台将BIM信息管理者的角色数字化，并通过自动：*分配BIM功能*建议任务(待办事项)*促进数据管理*协调利益相关者之间的信息*促进进度优化*指示项目BIM合规状态**(B)BIM工作流优化管理器(BIM-WOM)**：使用Uniclass分类，WOM将按照ISO 19650构建BIM信息需求，BIM协议和其他标准，以促进合规和充分的信息生产和管理。**(C)BIM文档生产助手(BIM-DOC)**：这将支持BIM文档的自动填充，并促进整个行业的一致性。它还将支持按照ISO 19650\.**(D)BIM自动执行规划器(自动BEP)**自动命名BIM文件：这将支持自动创建BEP及其相关文件(如TIDP/MIDP)，从而促进必要文件的无缝创建和加强协作。

Due to its envisioned benefits of facilitating enhanced collaboration, and subsequent cost, time and carbon improvement, Building Information Modelling (BIM) has become the standard for construction project delivery. This is partly driven by the UK government's mandate for the use of BIM on all centrally procured projects since 2016, which in turns drove the development of various standards, guidelines, and protocols. However, there has been a major gap between the BIM in theory and BIM in practice, with projects failing to achieve the envisioned BIM benefits, because of inconsistency, poor coordination, missing information, and confusion over responsibilities, among others (Wang and Zhang, 2021, Akponeware and Adamu, 2017).To facilitate information consistency and BIM benefit realisation as envisioned by the UK government, this project proposes an intelligent collaborative BIM management platform (digital form of BIM Information Manager) for effective standardization, auto-production, communication and coordination of BIM processes, tasks, documents, and information, among project stakeholders. **It consists of four key functionalities:****(A)BIM Project Management Decision Support Module (BIM-DSS)**: This common data environment (CDE) platform digitises the roles of BIM information manager and facilitates efficient management of BIM project by automatically:* Assigning BIM functions* Suggesting tasks (to-do)* Facilitating data management* Coordinating information among stakeholders* Facilitating schedule optimisation* Indicating project BIMing compliance status**(B)BIM Workflow Optimisation Manager(BIM-WOM)**: Using Uniclass classification, WOM would structure BIM information requirements in line with ISO 19650, BIM protocol and other standards to facilitate compliance and adequate information production and management.**(C)BIM Document Production Assistant(BIM-Doc)**: This would support automated population of BIM documents and facilitate industry-wide consistency. It would also support automated naming of BIM files in line with ISO 19650\.**(D)Automated BIM Execution Planner(Auto-BEP)**: This would support automated creation of BEP and its associated documentations(such as TIDP/MIDP), thereby facilitating seamless creation of requisite document and enhanced collaboration.
