Abstract: The capability to represent design solutions with product models has increased significantly in recent years. Correspondingly the formalization of design methods has progressed for several traditional design disciplines, making the multi-disciplinary design process increasingly performance and computer-based. A similar formalization of construction concepts is needed so that construction professionals can participate as a discipline contributing to the model-based design of a facility and its development processes and organization. This paper presents research that aims at formalizing construction concepts to make them self-aware in the context of virtual computer models of facilities and their construction schedules and organizations. It also describes a research method that has been developed at the Center for Integrated Facility Engineering at Stanford University to address the challenge of carrying out scientifically sound research in a project-based industry like construction.

BPOpt: A framework for BIM-based performance optimization
TL;DR: An integrated framework for building information modeling (BIM)-based performance optimization, BPOpt is presented, which enables designers to explore design alternatives using an open-source, visual programming user interface on the top of a widely used BIM platform, to generate models of building design options, assess the environmental performance of the models through cloud-based simulation, and search for the most appropriate design alternatives.

Teaching construction project management with BIM support: Experience and lessons learned
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present experiences and lessons learned during the introduction of Building Information Models (BIM) in construction engineering project management courses and illustratively show that BIM-based project management tools helped the teachers of two courses to develop more realistic project-based class assignments that supported students with learning how to apply different formal project management methods to real-world project management problems.
