Abstract
Technical requirements for investment and construction projects are increasing, and work distribution among numerous participants is highly fragmented. This results in construction projects carried out with unreliable schedules, cost overruns and defects arising from the lack of coordination on the construction site. Lean construction management and building information modeling are possible solutions to these problems. The conceptual analysis of lean construction and building information modeling points to significant synergies between them, but they are often considered separate technologies and provide only partial benefits when applied independently.
Purpose: The development of practical methods of using 4D modelling together with lean construction methods to reduce non-productive losses and construction time.
Research findings: Case studies show that the use of building information modeling with lean construction improves the planning efficiency. This approach provides a clear visualization of the work status on a 3D model and combines multiple sources of information to create a truly integrated system. The paper presents how a combination of lean construction and building information modeling can be applied in practice.
