| dc.description.abstract | The success or failure of any construction project largely depends on the cost-effectiveness, time-bound delivery, quality, amount of resources, and information available throughout the lifecycle of construction. Despite the technological advancement of Building Information Modeling (BIM), it lacks a database program, does not consider spatial information, and has low visualization. The objective of the study was to explore the role of the Geographic Information System (GIS) in enhancing the 5D BIM of construction building. The architectural drawing of a case study, focus group, and interviews were used to prepare cost estimation, schedule, develop the 3D model of construction building and assess the similarities and differences between BIM and GIS regarding scope, data type, and standards. The architectural drawing was created and imported to ArcMap; then the feature classes of each activity were created and imported to ArcSene to develop the 3D model and prepare cost estimation of construction building. The finding of the study showed that the integration of GIS and BIM technology enhanced the cost estimation by 2% of birr and the duration by 0.009% days of the cost estimated and time scheduled by BIM technology. Effectively selecting the color and making the 3D model transparent improved visualization of construction building. And hence it was concluded that cost estimation, schedule, and visual aspects of the construction were enhanced through the integration of GIS and BIM technology. Finally, the GIS-based methodology can enhance the BIM technology by extracting the information from the available database, assisting the decision making, and reducing delay in work progress. | en_US |
