Building materials selection is a critical process affected by many complicated factors. Due to the specific function of elements, alternatives to materials must be appropriately chosen as they differ in quality, performance, and cost. Implementing a Value Engineering (VE) process is challenging as it requires effort and several workshops. Thus, this study proposes a framework to automate the VE process of selecting building flooring material. The framework identified selected agreed criteria of flooring finishing materials measured based on agreed standard tests. The developed framework is distinguished from other current research using a combination of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Pairwise, and Function Analysis System Technique (FAST) methods to define the criteria ranking weight and include the building function. Furthermore, the framework is integrated with Building Information Modeling (BIM) that has been widely used in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industry (AEC). Finally, a case study of a residential house in Saudi Arabia was used to demonstrate the framework. The proposed framework was verified by using two questioners and expert consultations.

A Framework of Selecting Building Flooring Finishing Materials by Using Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Building Information Modelling is the revolution in the AEC industry. In the Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, numerous interesting innovations are being introduced. The various technologies like Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality with BIM various researchers are doing their experiment to link these technologies. This paper reviews the Building Information Modelling for checking the building codes and it explicates the automatic building code compliance method. Design automation is the important process that catches the attention of many researchers and experts of the AEC industry and the initiation of code compliance in BIM is one of the essential factors for its accomplishment. This review also explains this Industry Foundation Classes and its importance of IFC in Building Information Modelling. In the BIM industry, Industry Foundation Classes is a major advancement it improves the collaboration among various BIM software, improves code testing system and it improves the data exchange methods. Reside in a structured surrounding built by some rules and regulations to safeguard life and safety. The builders ensure that the necessary design tests have been passed for all aspects of their proposed construction design. The design is approved after the modifications and mandatory revisions. The monotonous task is checking to build code rules, verifying the code compliance based on the country’s building code design, and carrying out possible faults in design, and then making the required reconsiderations. The unwanted problems can be eliminated by the automated building code compliance system. This goal can be achieved by compiling the BIM model with a coding rule base engine that can save a particular country’s design code with its clauses.

A Statistical Review to Study the Structural Stability of Buildings Using Building Information Modelling

The selection of building materials from various available alternatives is a critical process affected by many complicated factors. Every single element in a building has a specific function to perform. This necessitates a proper selection of material from the various available alternatives, which generally differ in their quality, performance, and cost. To make the most practical choice, the owner wants the building's function to perform with maximum quality at the minimum possible cost, and this is the principle of value engineering. Therefore, a determination has been made to identify the criteria impacting selecting each element and how close it is to achieving the project's goal. Each alternative has been evaluated, and its quality, and cost scores have been calculated. Implementing a value engineering process is challenging, and it needs much effort and many brainstorming sessions to be achieved. Therefore, this study has proposed a framework to automate the value engineering process and integrate it into selecting building materials. Moreover, this process was accelerated and facilitated by using innovative computer technology such as building information modeling (BIM) that has been widely used in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. The scientific paper touched on determining the evaluation of the elements of choosing the doors and determining the criteria affecting their quality by conducting a field survey with specialized engineers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to know the factors affecting the selection of doors. The scientific paper also reviewed the case study of a hospital buildingwhere the elements of the building's internal doors are chosen from among eight alternatives using the proposed evaluation processes. And then, chose the building information model as a database that facilitates information entry and selected from the available alternatives. The results were shown automatically and gave a summary of them. The research results showed the six most important criteria affecting the process of selecting interior doors for buildings: fire resistance, acoustic insulation, humidity resistance, aesthetic, durability, and maintenance. Based on this study, the best alternative for interior doors to buildings will be chosen from among the eight available alternatives. This methodology will make it easier for the decision-maker to choose the appropriate section according to the previous criteria.
