10The purpose of this study is to verify the effectiveness of the constructivism education theory in building information modeling (BIM)/integrated project delivery (IPD) collaboration education by determining education methods that are most relevant to collaboration in the interaction process. We propose a BIM training model that enhances students’ satisfaction in class and collaboration. We aim to identify interrelationships between BIM collaboration education and constructivism theories, examin
Abstract Modular building is an innovative and sustainable construction method and a notable architectural, engineering, and construction trend. Owing to the new constructability and sustainability, significant research efforts have been focused on the engineering aspects of modular building. Since the global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, space utilization has changed radically, and a rethinking of modular building design has become essential. However, current literature lacks a comprehensi
Autonomous robotic systems are being deployed in commercial, healthcare, logistics, and mixed-use built environments at a rate that significantly outpaces the adaptive capacity of existing building design and management paradigms. Buildings have historically been conceived exclusively for human occupants, and the resulting absence of a structured, scalable framework for evaluating or designing robot-ready facilities constitutes a critical gap in both research and professional practice. This arti
Translating heterogeneous, client-authored textual requirements into constructible, information-rich models constitutes a primary impediment to digital transformation in early design phases. Legacy workflows demand high frequency client architect iteration, manual decoding of narrative requirements, and bespoke parametric modeling, introducing latency and inconsistency. This paper introduces an end-to-end automation pipeline that couples advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) with Building I
The construction industry increasingly leverages immersive visualization platforms to improve project comprehension. However, achieving seamless bidirectional data exchange with Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools remains a significant challenge. Traditional approaches support only one-way transfers with limited semantic metadata, resulting in significant manual effort and hindering iterative design. This paper introduces ReUniXchange, a framework that automates bidirectional, asynchronous
Integrating BIM with energy simulation tools poses challenges, particularly in heat transfer analysis preparation. This study introduces a streamlined process for exporting BIM models from Revit and Archicad to DXF for TRISCO-based evaluation. The method defines material layers, ensures closed boundaries, and applies fill-based outlines (Archicad) or system/general families (Revit). Revit retains the advantage of maintaining more parametric data. However, improvements are needed in layer configu
Open BIM-based code checking automatically determines whether building permit regulations are met, requiring the input of various property information during the BIM model production process. Among these inputs, the main structural members rely on user-added property informa- tion due to vague legal definitions. However, because these members are closely related to evacuation laws, a dichotomous check based on manual input information has limitations in securing reliable results. Therefore, this
As buildings become increasingly dependent on high-speed communication infrastructure, ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and performance requirements has become essential. This study proposes an approach that utilizes Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) to automate the compliance review of high-speed internet and communication facilities. To achieve this, relevant provisions from building codes and communication standards were extracted and structured into a rule-based database. Based
The manufacturing of modular buildings in factory-controlled environments is complex process, involving intricate task sequencing, resource allocation, and rigorous quality control.Traditional visualization and scheduling methods frequently fail to communicate these complexities effectively, resulting in inefficiencies, scheduling errors, and cost overruns.This research addresses these challenges by integrating Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Virtual Reality (VR) into a unified, interac
