Testing Practical Applicability of 5-Dimensional BIM using a Pilot Model

Any given construction and engineering project has three most important factors that is the quality, time and cost depending on the decision-maker and the decisionmaking process involved in the project. An emerging trend in construction industry is five-dimensional Building Information Model (5D BIM), that integrates all three factors. The Building Information Modelling comes in handy with a precise decisionmaking process which can deliver efficient construction quality, in budgeted price and at the given time by using multiple dimensions at same platform. This integrated information is accessed by using a Virtual Simulation Technique (VST). The main aim of this paper is to simulate a pilot model of a G+1 building using the 5D BIM concept and record the steps required to do so. The model preparation starts with a simple line drawing in 2D Autodesk AutoCAD, then developing 3D model in Autodesk Revit and then adding 4th and 5th dimension as time and cost in Autodesk Navisworks. Irrespective of the model outcome, focus is concentrated on the main factors that interferes with the practical application of 5D BIM. This paper finds that the integration of information on a single platform allows data to be organized, sophisticated, easy to interpret and help decision makers by providing thorough information. Not only 5D, but n-number of dimensions can be added to the same model depending on the technical details required by the project, but it is noted that increase in dimensions required increased information, components, parameters, which eventually increase the complexity of the model.
