SH Corporation Advances BIM-Based Smart Construction Technology (BEST) Roadmap

Full Application of BIM-Based Smart Construction Technology in 2023 Multi-Family Housing Construction Projects
Utilizing BIM-Based Smart Construction Technologies Such as Drones, VR·AR, IoT, and Digital Twin

[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] Seoul Housing & Communities Corporation (SH Corporation) announced on the 1st that it has established the 'Building Information Modeling (BIM)-based Smart Construction Technology (BEST) Roadmap' to innovate construction processes, productivity, and lead smart construction technology.

BIM (Building Information Modeling) is a platform technology based on three-dimensional information models that integrates all information generated throughout the building lifecycle, including cost, schedule, and maintenance, enabling its utilization. It is a core technology of smart construction.

So far, SH Corporation has aligned with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's announced 'Smart Construction Technology Roadmap' by signing business agreements with the Korea BIM Society and the Architectural Institute of Korea, conducting BIM pilot projects and developing BIM design guidelines.

The newly announced BEST (BIM basEd Smart Construction Techniques) Roadmap aims to fully apply BIM-based smart construction technology to apartment construction projects in 2023. It will be promoted through three major strategies and six key tasks, including the utilization of smart construction technologies such as drones, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), Internet of Things (IoT), and digital twins.

The detailed tasks include ▲establishing guidelines and operational standards ▲implementing pilot projects ▲building BIM platforms and libraries ▲establishing BIM-based smart construction technology infrastructure ▲forming advisory groups linking industry-academia-research-government ▲and creating an internal pool of experts.

Based on the roadmap, SH Corporation plans to promote pilot projects this year, form industry-academia-research-government convergence advisory groups, prepare operational guidelines and manuals in 2021, link smart construction technologies in 2022, and implement full BIM design from 2023 to lead the construction industry in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution through mid- to long-term plans.

Kim Se-yong, President of SH Corporation, stated, "In the 'new normal era' caused by the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), we will promote the BIM-based smart construction technology roadmap to innovate construction productivity and build close partnerships such as industry-academia-research-government collaboration to ensure smooth establishment of smart construction technology, fulfilling our role as a public enterprise."
