Initiatives on BIM/CIM at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism

Abstract

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has developed “i-Construction 2.0” aimed at automating construction sites. This initiative focuses on three main pillars: 1) automation of construction processes, 2) automation of data integration (digitization and paperless operations), and 3) automation of construction management (remote and off-site operations). As part of this effort, BIM/CIM has been applied as a general principle since last year. We have identified both issues that have been resolved and ongoing challenges.Currently, the main initiatives are “linking 3D models with 2D drawings” and “utilizing attribute information.” The former aims to align key components of the 3D models with the 2D drawings. The latter targets cost estimation by automating the input of quantity data to reduce human errors and simplify checks, while also being applicable at various stages of the project. Data integration through BIM/CIM needs to be approached systematically across the entire project. We plan to further increase use cases to promote BIM/CIM in the future.
