Abstract:

The use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) has significantly improved building planning and enhanced site safety. Civil engineers rely on the software to generate work plans, develop three-dimensional architectural drawings and coordinate work professionally. The aim of the current work is to develop BIM as a technology that can ensure site safety, support proper planning and bring cost-efficient project completion. The results indi-cate that Revit and Level 3 BIM, both open-source systems, offer up-to-date digital ecosystems for multiple project management.
