BIM can help mitigate risks in construction projects. It allows for clashing detection and scope/design changes to be managed through markups and document comparison. Integration with ERP systems also helps with material procurement and resource planning. BIM tools like RFID and dynamic modeling support risk mitigation for material handling issues. Quality control checklists in BIM platforms allow tracking of quality issues. While BIM is effective for many risks, some like delays and scheduling issues are broader in scope and harder to fully address through BIM alone. Overall, proper implementation of BIM's risk management features can significantly reduce common construction risks.

2. 1. INTRODUCTION
BIM in Construction | Risk Management | Scope and Objectives

3. BIM IN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
▪ BIM (Building Information Modelling) is an intelligent 3D model-based process that gives
architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals the insight and tools to more
efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure.
▪ BIM
▫ Can be used as a tool to estimate and complete construction cost forecasting
▫ Used to monitor actual building performance data
▫ Can be used to collect data on warranty, ageing, defects, and installation time
▫ Determines whether a temporary construction set up is needed
▫ Can be used to sequencing planning or determining how the phases of a project should
be scheduled.
▫ Can detect or avoid construction and design issues early in the game preventing change
orders and unforeseen conditions
▫ BIM process and communication greatly enhanced by reporting, scheduling, and
submittals

4. RISK MANAGEMENT
▪ Risk exists at two levels within every project.
▫ Individual project risk
▫ Overall project risk
▪ The Risk management process includes
▫ Plan Risk management
▫ Identify Risks
▫ Perform Qualitative risk analysis
▫ Perform Quantitative risk analysis
▫ Plan risk responses (Mitigating Risks)
▫ Implement risk responses
▫ Monitor risks

RELATIVE IMPORTANCE INDEX (RII):
Relative Importance Index is a useful technique to calculate the relative importance of predictors
(independent variables) when independent variables are correlated to each other. It is an alternative to
multiple regression technique and it addresses multicollinearity problem and also helps to calculate the
importance rank of variables.
RII ANALYSIS:
Where:
W – is the weight given to each factor by the respondents and ranges from 1 to 5, (where “1” is “strongly
disagree” and “5” is “strongly agree”);
A – Is the highest weight (i.e. 5 in this case) and;
N – Is the total number of respondents?
Higher the value of RII is more important.

35. 5. MITIGATION MEASURES
By BIM application in various Risk Management parameters

36. ALTERATION IN SCOPE AND DESIGN CHANGES DURING
EXECUTION
▪ Contractor (R0 drawing) will raise the issue of any changes in the work
w.r.t both design changes and scope with the help of Markups.
▪ The issue will now be available at the concerned assignee’s dashboard
where he views the issue.
▪ The assignee further makes changes in the drawings and upload the
drawings with revised information in document manager as R1 version.
▪ BIM consists of a feature called “Compare documents” in which both
the drawings or REVIT files of different version can be compared side
by side. 36

37. ERP RISK MITIGATION BY INTEGRATION WITH BIM
▪ Architects and Engineers can speed up the design process by using Standard elements
(REVIT families) in BIM modelling that are already defined as materials in ERP (SAP) &
saved in a single storage system.
▪ Accurate updated Quantity schedules (BOQ) reports generated from BIM will assist the
ERP tools (SAP MM) to generate the report for purchase of materials & effectively
manage the materials on time.
▪ COBie data from BIM can help the ERP in bridging the gap between construction and
operations in Vendor managing & maintenance of the project.
▪ Quantification of work in the Conceptual stage of project can be estimated, WBS
packages from BIM can assist Planning of Human Resource & Contracts management in
ERP.
▪ Functional modules of ERP packages like, SAP FICO, MM, PP, HRM can use BIM end data
as input and effectively work.
37

38. MITIGATION OF MATERIAL HANDLING RISK BY
IMPLEMENTATION OF BIM
▪ Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags
▫ Support the tracking of component delivery and installation onsite
▫ RFID tags can automatically update with links to field scanning devices and
provided the contractors with instant feedback of material status.
▪ BIM based Dynamic Model
▫ Site layout dynamic model is prepared in which site area attributes are created in
the above 3D model and every divided area has specific site location, size and
application in the form of label information,
▪ Scan-to-BIM
▫ The point cloud models are then registered and turned into precise building
information model.
▫ For clash detection analysis, hence identifying problems beforehand saving money,
reducing downtime and eliminating mistakes and delays.
38

39. RISK MITIGATION THROUGH BIM FOR POOR QUALITY IN
CONSTRUCTION
▪ Quality Control through Quality Checklists and Issue Management:
▫ Autodesk BIM 360 can be the platform where such sharing and updating
the information can be possible in real time.
▫ Checklists can be prepared for individual work by the contractor then the
deficiencies can be noted by the contractor
▫ Once the sub-contractors have rectified the issue then a notification for
closure of the issue can be floated from the subcontractor’s dashboard.
▫ Once all the issues/defects are covered in the checklist then the checklist
can be submitted and a detailed report can be obtained.
39

40. BIM TECHNOLOGY METHODS EMPLOYED TO ENHANCE
COMMUNICATION
▪ Displaying all the data which were included in the model
▪ Virtualisation and Visualisation
▪ Combine all of the concepts involved
▪ Capable of displaying project construction similar with
drawings
▪ Facilitate the management process in the construction industry
▪ Communication based on model
40

41. 6. CONCLUSION
Recommendations | Shortcomings

42. RECOMMENDATIONS
▪ BIM technology in mitigating Risks at different phases of construction in
which the potential of BIM in Risk mitigation is thoroughly explored.
▪ Aligning of BIM and other BIM-based techniques with the general risk
management method to systematically support the development process
of a project would be a significant step towards reaching an effective Risk.
▪ Risks like Alteration of Scope, Design changes, ERP integration, Material
handling issues and Poor construction quality that constitute to the major
proportion of Risks in construction can be totally and effectively mitigated
by proper implementation of BIM.
42

43. LIMITATIONS & SHORTCOMINGS
▪ BIM has been identified as a sophisticated yet simplified platform that helps in
mitigating risk in construction project largely, particularly in elimination of the
major errors in the design management.
▪ The main issue is with the complex nature of the software itself and in near future,
with its simplification, we believe that wide spread adoption of BIM in CRIP sector
is imminent.
▪ Following Risks couldn’t be mitigated because of broader scope
▫ Project Delay
▫ Time Constraint
▫ Accelerated Contract Schedule
▫ Improper Planning and Budgeting
