Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the application of concept and principles of interoperability, used for information exchange. It uses efficient business models to control the construction operations in a most significant way that reduces multiple errors. BIM maintains feasibility of all designs and processes by collaboration of information procured from diverse departments operating within a firm. This paper reviews the application of 4D and 5D BIM in construction industry. It also focuses on softwares which can be effectively used to integrate the 3D visualization of building with time and cost element. This study aims at exploring the project management issues related with time and cost overruns, which can be overcome by using 4D and 5D BIM.
