Lean Cost Analysis Based on BIM Modeling for Construction Project

Abstract:

With the development of information technology, both Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology and lean construction concept became more and more widely applied in the engineering field in our country, meanwhile.resulting in their prominent synergies with each other. BIM technology and lean construction concept are designed aimed at reducing wastes, saving costs, increasing productivity, and creating maximum value at the same time. Therefore, it will be more effective on value creation for their collaboration compared to their separate utilization from engineer perspective. This paper reports the combined technique between BIM technology and lean construction concept for its application in the cost management of engineering project of the building throughout the life-cycle among BIM mode, the lean cost analysis and control research. This combined technology is shown to be not only the main characteristic of construction enterprises but also the reference on improvement of production efficiency as well as competitiveness.
