Abstract

Long has the construction industry been chastised for its low production performance. Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Lean Construction (LC) are two of the most widely adopted concepts in the construction industry for improving project delivery performance. LC is a complex blend of project management principles and tools whose origins can be traced to the automobile manufacturing industry. BIM refers to the technologies and processes that allow for the effective management of project information from inception to deconstruction. There are significant positive synergies when LC and BIM are implemented together. Nonetheless, these two concepts are frequently managed and implemented by separate teams within client, design, and construction organizations. This is largely due to the LC and BIM teams' lack of awareness and incorrect biases. Collaboration between the LC and BIM teams is necessary for BIM to facilitate LC principles/tools and for LC to enhance BIM processes in order to maximize the synergy between these two concepts. Globally, this is also a major concern for the industry. The objective of this research is to develop a collaborative digital model that facilitates the integration of BIM and LC teams in the construction industry. These objectives will comprise the proposed research on literature-based understanding of the collaboration dynamics between various teams. Document and map the two-way synergy between LC and BIM in design and construction management based on the literature, workshops and interview with expertise. Understanding the requirements for a digital, interactive, collaborative tool that will allow both LC and BIM teams to improve their processes. It is a conceptual and digital tool that may be referred to as a LC and BIM translator.
