Using BIM for Improving Buildability in Small-Scale Construction Projects: A Comparative Case-Study

Using BIM for Improving Buildability in Small-Scale Construction Projects: A Comparative Case-Study

Canales, Fidel Puebla; Vergara, Mauricio Loyola

Full Article:

Numerous authors have shown that using BIM has positive impacts on improving buildability levels on large-scale construction projects. This paper examines the impact of BIM on small-scale projects, particularly single-family homes. A series of case studies and interviews with architecture professionals were conducted. Results show that the benefits obtained are equivalent to those reported in the literature for larger projects, suggesting that the impact of BIM on improving buildability levels is similar for both small-scale and large-scale projects.
