Automated Generation of 4D Building Information Models through Spatial Reasoning
Building information models (BIM), through their rich digital information content, have created an opportunity to automate portions of the estimating, scheduling, and visualization processes in construction management. In this research, we are developing a method that applies rule-based spatial reasoning based on the topological relationships between the building components in a BIM to automatically generate a technologically and physically meaningful construction sequencing of the building components while automating association of these activities with BIM objects for purposes of 4D schedule visualization. The spatial reasoning takes into account considerations such as structural construction, material layers and work access, some common construction practices and hierarchical relationships between the building entities. The methodology is applied to the domain of commercial construction projects.
