| Abstract |
In a construction project, there are numerous information across various professional specialists. In particular, as design process requires constant communication among a variety engineering participants, effective collaboration for decision making has a high influence on productivity. BIM (Building Information System) is adopted globally to improve the productivity of the collaboration. However, BIM causes a fundamental change in the way participants interact with each other. Currently, it is not easy for individuals to utilize the current BIM collaboration systems due to skeptical opinion and difficulties of the systems. Therefore, the collaboration system should be developed by considering optimized features, and this paper defines essential features of architecture-engineering design collaboration system to improve BIM collaboration environment. In order to conduct this research, (1) the current BIM collaboration systems are investigated and analyzed in depth and (2) the essential functions for the design collaboration between the architects and engineers within the BIM environment are defined by conducting delphi survey and focus group interview. The result of this research can contribute to provide the basis for improving BIM based collaboration environment. |
