The Effects of Building Information Modeling on Construction (Productivity and Cost)

Abstract

Recently, a silence revolution has been taking position which will basically alter the very material of the audiovisual plan and addition business. This revolution is the greater than before use of Building Information Modeling (BIM). This study investigates the effects of Building Information Modeling on construction project productivity and Cost. The study sample was (50) managers of construction projects in Jordan. The researcher used descriptive method and developed a questionnaire to collect data. The results of the study showed that the mean of study paragraphs came high within field which measures the role of using Buildings Information Modeling in the cost of the project, t the mean of the paragraphs of the study came high within the field , which measures the role of using Building Information Modeling on productivity of construction, and that the differences was statistically significant for field which states "the role of the using Building Information Modeling in the productivity of construction in favor of diploma, and that the differences was statistically significant for field which states "the role of the using Building Information Modeling in the cost of construction in favor of bachelor, also the result of this study showed that there are no statistically significant relationship at the significance level (α ≤ 0.05) in the impact of the Building Information Modeling (BIM) on the productivity and the cost of construction projects due to the variable (gender, experience). This study recommended founding a Staff from company or outside it for training employees and to exercise particular programs to increase the requirements of Building Information Modeling (BIM).
