How is Building Information Modeling (BIM) integrated into construction management?

BIM integration in construction: (1) 4D scheduling - link model to schedule for visualization, sequence planning, logistics, (2) 5D cost estimation - quantity extraction from model, cost tracking, (3) Clash detection - identify conflicts before construction, coordinate MEP and structure, (4) Prefabrication - use model for shop drawings, off-site fabrication, (5) Field verification - compare as-built to model using laser scanning, (6) Progress tracking - update model with construction status, (7) Handover - provide as-built model for operations. BIM execution plan defines model standards, responsibilities, and deliverables. Cloud collaboration enables real-time coordination.
