Introduction. This article examines the main digital tools of BIM management, their functionality and impact on construction project management processes. Current trends in the development of BIM tools, as well as their importance for the future of the construction industry, are considered.
Problems. The introduction of BIM (Building Information Modeling) was a revolutionary step in the construction industry, but with it came new challenges related to the adaptation and use of digital BIM management tools. One of the key problems is insufficient standardization and integration of various software products, which leads to information fragmentation and complicates interaction between participants in construction projects. Many companies face difficulties in the integration of different BIM tools due to the lack of a unified information environment and standardized processes.
The second important problem is the lack of proper qualifications and knowledge in the field of BIM management among construction industry specialists. The low level of digital literacy and shortcomings in the training of specialists slow down the process of introducing innovative technologies, and also reduce the effectiveness of using digital tools. This is especially true for small and medium-sized companies, which often do not have the resources to train staff or purchase expensive software.
Another challenge is managing the large volumes of data that are generated during the design and construction process using BIM. Ensuring proper coordination and management of this data is critical to successful project execution, but often becomes a challenge due to the complexity and heterogeneity of the information. Mistakes in data management can lead to delays, budget overruns and construction deadlines.
It is also worth noting the problems with legal regulation and the regulatory framework, which does not always keep up with the development of technologies. This creates legal gaps, especially in the area of responsibility for the use of BIM models and management of information processes in construction.
Thus, although the digital toolkit of BIM management opens up new opportunities for increasing construction efficiency, its implementation is accompanied by a number of problems. Solving these challenges requires both technical innovations and changes in approaches to project management, education of specialists, and improvement of the regulatory framework.
This expanded view of the issue demonstrates the key challenges facing the industry and helps outline directions for further research and solutions.
Goal. Research of modern digital tools of BIM management, determination of its main functions and capabilities, as well as assessment of the impact of these tools on the effectiveness of construction project management. The article also analyzes the main problems faced by specialists during the implementation of BIM technologies, and suggests ways to overcome them to optimize the processes of design, construction and operation of buildings.
Materials and methods. The article is research in nature. As part of this study, the following materials and methods were used to analyze the digital tools of BIM management:
Analysis of literature and regulatory documents. A detailed review of scientific publications, international standards, recommendations, and the regulatory framework for the use of BIM technologies was conducted. In particular, documents related to the integration of digital tools in construction project management, such as ISO 19650 and other national standards, were investigated.
Method of comparative analysis. To evaluate the effectiveness of various BIM management tools, a comparative analysis of software products (Autodesk Revit, Navisworks, Bentley Systems, Trimble Connect and others) was conducted based on such criteria as functionality, integration capabilities, standards support, ease of use and accessibility for different types projects
Empirical studies. A survey was conducted among construction professionals and BIM managers to identify key issues related to the use of digital tools in design and management. Analysis of the survey results helped to find out which tools are used most often, what difficulties users face, and what advantages and disadvantages of these tools they note.
Case-stage method. Several real construction projects were analyzed in which BIM management tools were used.
Modeling method. To evaluate the use of the implementation of new BIM tools on the effectiveness of projects, modeling of processes built on the basis of information models was used. This method made it possible to simulate various management scenarios and evaluate their results in the conditions of real construction sites.
The obtained data were analyzed with the help of statistical analysis methods, which made it possible to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of the use of various BIM management tools and to offer recommendations for their implementation in practice.
The results. In the course of the study, the following results were obtained, the results show that the digital toolkit of BIM management has a significant potential to increase the efficiency of construction project management, but the implementation of these tools requires solving a number of problems related to the qualifications of specialists, the integration of technologies and the regulatory and legal framework. .
Conclusions. The study confirmed that digital BIM management tools have significant potential to transform the construction industry, improve project management efficiency, and improve coordination between project process participants. The use of such tools allows you to reduce costs, shorten the construction period, minimize the number of errors and improve the overall quality of project solutions.
However, the implementation of BIM technologies and digital management tools is accompanied by a low problem. The biggest problems remain the insufficient qualification of specialists, the complexity of the integration of various software products, and the large amount of data that needs to be effectively managed. moreover, the issuance of standardized approaches and regulatory requirements at the national level complicates the widespread use of BIM in the practice of construction companies.
Thus, for the successful implementation of digital tools of BIM management, it is necessary to ensure the proper training of specialists, the creation of uniform data exchange standards, and the further development of legal regulation. A gradual solution to this problem will allow us to reveal the full potential of BIM technologies and significantly increase the efficiency of construction objects in the future.
