Building information modeling (BIM) is transforming the construction life cycle. Nonetheless,
there is a notable gap in research regarding the key challenges associated with BIM. This …

Building permits ensure construction meets codes and regulations, but the traditional
permitting process is often complex and inefficient. This perspective paper examines the …

This scoping literature review examines critical success factors (CSFs) in the design and
planning phases of BIM-enabled construction projects, focusing on integrating sustainability …

Planning regulations determine a substantial part of buildings, but their constraints are
usually not included in the setup of a BIM model or used explicitly for design guidance, but …

Among smart construction technologies, 3D laser scanning technology is used in a variety of
applications, including progress measurement, quantity management, reverse engineering …

This paper discusses the challenge of using 3D models created during the design stage in
the construction stage due to the need for segmentation or remodeling to incorporate activity …
