Introduction
Construction industry has currently adopted technology than before in management of projects. Activities in building are established after modelling stage, in which prototypes imitating real objects to be made in the project are created and assessed. This is done through Building Information Modelling (BMI), which integrates the entire life cycle of a project (Rui 83). In building sculpting serves as a reference mostly because systems and processes are highly linked up. Demonstration is done through various software, which will be discussed later in the paper. Using BMI in engineering projects helps in reduction of cost, improvement of teamwork and lessening of risks and expenses. Application of software is relevant in simulation and visualization of project scope, schemes projection and monitoring of changes in plan in terms of cost and design.
However, despite the numerous benefits associated with BMI, they are associated with a couple of risks due to human error, inefficient communication and techniques of prototype setting. Project managers should avoid over relying on software models and consider deficiencies that could be existing in the process (Patil et al. 2775-2780). More so, decision making in firms which apply software design is complex because of involvement of diverse opinions from many parties. Different models have unique functionalities and therefore, project managers can integrate them to increase efficiency in construction. This report will be focusing on the five-modelling software, construction of Kosciusko bride in New York, and finally compare two projects in USA.
