On BIM based automatized nD modelling for construction management

Thesis outlines new approach in automated creation of the discrete nD BIM models by interlinking and utilization of existing CONTEC (Construction Technology) method, originally designed for automated construction technology planning and project management based on data in the form of budget or bill of quantities. CONTEC enables automation in production of nD model data such as schedule(4D) including work distribution end resource planning, budget(5D) – based on attached pricing system, but also nD data such, as health and safety risks plans (H&S Risk register), quality plans and quality assurance checklists including their monitoring and Environmental plans. Thesis includes practical example of interlinking existing BIM model without classification system to the CONTEC system and automated creation of above mentioned nD models. Proposed method is applicable also to existing classification systems but is especially useful in countries where development of BIM is in early stages.
