| Abstract |
Building Information Modeling (BIM) was created to address the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry's lack of collaboration among consultants. Advances in cloud BIM have led to the easy exchange of data and real-time collaboration among consultants from conceptual design to the detailed construction drawing stage and through the project life cycle. This is critical in the development of smart cities. Cloud BIM also facilitates visualization of the city and data exchange for internet of things (IoT). Smart city development involves incorporating data from sensors and hardware attached to existing infrastructure. This article studies cloud BIM technology as a means of project integration in smart city development. To do this, a case study of digital modeling for the development of a smart city was done. Benefits include seamless communication, monitoring real-time progress, and visualization of files. Problems encountered include governance problems, problems preserving work sets, the integrity of drawings, and difficulty specifying coordinates on-site. |
