Abstract

Building information modeling (BIM) is one of the most promising recent developments in the construction industry. With BIM technology, an accurate virtual model of a building is digitally constructed. This model, known as a Building Information Model, can be used for each phases (Pre-Construction, Construction and Post-Construction) of project. Cost of construction material sum up-to 40-60 % of the total project Cost that’s why optimization of material will control overall project cost directly. The application of inventory management techniques along with BIM technology, may give effective control on inventory and there by its cost. In this research paper, Questionnaire survey work is carried out to know the current trends and knowledge of BIM technology and inventory
management in construction industry. Result shows that according to 63.6% respondent BIM technology with inventory management techniques will be beneficial for construction industry.
