Description

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a digitalization tool that is widely adopted in construction industry. BIM has now been essential in various countries; for example, new UK BIM standards require asset owners to keep and maintain building information. BIM adopts an interoperable concept that benefits the whole life-cycle assessment (LCA) and circularity of the built environments. Its applications extend to six dimensions (6D) where time sequence, cost and carbon footprint can be reported in real time. These attributes help reduce any unexpected consumption and waste over the life cycle of the project. This study builds on the development of 6D BIM of an existing building to enrich circular value chains and stakeholder engagement. This paper highlights the development of 6D BIM, and, subsequently, the stakeholder interviews to address challenges, barriers, benefits, and effectiveness of 6D-BIM applications for stakeholder engagements across circular value chains. Snowballing sampling method has been used to identify stakeholder interviews. The outcome of this study will exhibit new insights and practical paradigms for BIM applications in built environments.
