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

由于其促进增强协作以及随后的成本，时间和碳改进的预期好处，建筑信息建模（BIM）已成为建筑项目交付的标准。这在一定程度上是由于英国政府自2016年以来要求在所有集中采购项目中使用BIM，这反过来又推动了各种标准、指南和协议的制定。然而，由于不一致、协调不力、信息缺失和责任混乱等原因，BIM理论和实践之间存在重大差距，项目未能实现预期的BIM效益（Wang和Zhang，2021年，Akponeware和Adamu，2017年）。为了促进英国政府设想的信息一致性和BIM效益实现，该项目提出了一个智能协同BIM管理平台（BIM信息管理器的数字形式），用于项目利益相关者之间BIM流程、任务、文档和信息的有效标准化、自动化生产、沟通和协调。** 它由四个关键功能组成：*（A）BIM项目管理决策支持模块（BIM-DSS）**：该通用数据环境（CDE）平台将BIM信息管理员的角色数字化，并通过自动实现以下功能来促进BIM项目的有效管理：* 简化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）**：使用单类分类，WOM将根据ISO 19650、BIM协议和其他标准构建BIM信息要求，以促进合规性和充分的信息生产和管理。（C）BIM文件制作助理（BIM-Doc）**：这将支持BIM文件的自动填充，并促进全行业的一致性。它还支持根据ISO 19650自动命名BIM文件\。**（D）自动化BIM执行计划（Auto-BEP）**：这将支持自动化创建BEP及其相关文件（如TIDP/MIDP），从而促进无缝创建所需文件和加强协作。

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.
