ABSTRACT

In construction industries, performance evaluation is used as a systematic way of judging project performance. However, it is still a daunting task for project managers to accurately and timely record of the current status on the site due to the project's dynamic nature. In addition, there is no effective mechanism available yet to integrate information among all the project participants. In view of this, a construction project performance evaluation mechanism based on BIM model will be proposed in this research. Firstly, a systematic analysis will be conducted to analyze the current process and structure of the evaluation of construction projects. Based on existing IFC/BIM, the current IFC data structure will be extended accordingly and BIM graphic objects will be created to describe project information. Using graphic objects to describe relative project information, they form a reliable resource for project performance evaluation. Finally, the construction project performance evaluation mechanism will be developed to verify the feasibility of the proposed approach.
