Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Building information modeling (BIM) uses a digital representation of building products and processes to facilitate sharing digital information among different software tools and construction projects. It has revolutionized building design, construction, and function, leading to an era of digital construction. Digital construction requires an in-depth understanding of BIM technologies, how they are implemented within architecture, engineering, and construction organizations, and how effective implementation has substantial economic, environmental, and social benefits. The aim of this Special Issue is to encourage scientists and researchers to publish their research on digital construction topics, which allows for the development of successful BIM implementation strategies that minimize costs, resources, and capital for better buildings construction.
