'BIM' of Smart Construction Technology, Live On-site Competition

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo In-ho] The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 7th that it will jointly host the BIM Live On-site Competition as part of the ‘Smart Construction Challenge 2020’ with the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology from the 9th to the 11th at KINTEX in Ilsan, Gyeonggi Province.

BIM is a core technology of ‘smart construction technology,’ which is rapidly growing in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution. BIM (Building Information Modeling) is a technology that integrates 3D models with construction information such as materials, processes, construction costs, and specifications to manage information throughout the entire construction process.

Through BIM design, errors and waste factors in design, construction, and management can be reviewed in advance, maximizing the productivity and safety of construction projects.

Accordingly, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is promoting related policies and R&D with the goal of ‘full BIM design by 2025.’

A total of six teams will participate in BIM Live, and each team must create a 3D design model directly on-site. Winners will be awarded the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Award and the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology President Award.
