Tiivistelmä
Although precast concrete technology has flourishing advantages, there is still a massive space for improvement. A new direction towards full-scale BIM-based paperless projects is currently trending. With any new system or methods, challenges are generated.
This study discusses the BIM-based paperless system implementation in the precast concrete fabrication process through literature research and case studies. Different implementation methods, advantages, challenges, and recommendations for implementing the BIM-based paperless methods are discussed. Moreover, the literature provided a background for precast concrete technology and Building Information Modelling (BIM), including history, definitions, benefits, and challenges. A comparison is made to prove the literature research points through a case study of a full-scale drawing-less project in Norway. Furthermore, through the analysis of the questionnaire distributed to experts in the field of construction, the author understood the topic better.
Finally, a conclusion with recommendations is presented at the end. The main finding is that the BIM-based paperless system implementation has many advantages that will enhance the precast concrete technology. However, some challenges of this implementation surfaced. Those challenges can only be solved by developing the BIM-based paperless system through the cooperation of different organizations.
