Building Information Modelling for Information Management in the Construction Industry: A Systematic Review
Information is derived from the interpretation and understanding of information contextually. Information has been adjudged to be very important in any contemporary society. In the construction industry, information is significant as it is the ‘things’ shared among project stakeholders from inception to completion to achieve the client’s objective. Tracking, security, retrieval and control of information in the construction industry has become tasking as there is an increase in the production of documents and its distribution channel. Due to this reason, there is a challenge of information fragmentation, non-accessibility, possible loss, and non-traceability. To solve these problems, there is a need to manage information for day-to-day usage in the industry through the adoption of information technology tools. This is because information technology is gaining more grounds globally. To address how information technology can be adopted for information management, this study carried out a systematic review on how a BIM-based information management system can be adopted in the construction industry. This was achieved by accessing published articles on this topic area from globally-rated academic research databases named SCOPUS and Web of Science. Downloaded articles were carefully refined to ensure they are related to the subject area and there was no duplication before extensive content analysis was employed to analyse them. Findings revealed that information can be adequately managed using BIM by applying intelligent management principles which include planning the information management process, organizing the information into the different categories, as well as the development of control over information and information access and usage.
