Anotace:
BIM (building information modeling), is now widespread around the globe, with many nations reporting that BIM is affecting their respective industries at various levels. The construction industry in the developed world is rushing to embrace BIM as a catalyst for gaining operational efficiencies, with BIM adoption increasing tremendously in the last three to five years. Annual surveys are being conducted to document the state of affairs, and national-level initiatives are in place to produce BIM standards and guidelines, and construction companies have reported a positive return on investment with more savings expected in the future [Ref.1]. In EGYPT, because of the importance of BIM in the national projects and it's effects in the costs and time, we decided to implicate it in one of the implortant national project in EGYPT (The New Alamein City).This step helped us to solve a lot of problems, like, the collaboration between all stakeholders, the coodination between all discplines in the drawings, enhancing the construction sequences with using 4D sumulation and cost estimation using 5D, finally, documenting, organizing and administrating the project using BIM 360.
