Two-Stage BIM-Enabled Decision Support System for Selection of a Suitable Industrialized Building System

The aim of this project is to help improve construction efficiency by promoting and advancing OSCM techniques. The specific objective is to develop a two-stage BIM-enabled Decision Support System (BeDSS) for the selection of a suitable IBS for OSCM for multifunctional components or parts of buildings. The partner organization will get a reliable comparison between two alternatives for a project – conventional construction method and using OSCM strategy. They will benefit by benchmarking this research case study for their next projects.. The modular components offered by the Partner will be promoted by the proposed BeDSS. Any user (client or consultant) will have access to their product and its specifications as a part of the IBS systems list available through the BeDSS. In general, this research project will contribute to increasing the productivity and enhancing the quality of the Canadian construction industry, all by helping diminish the carbon footprint of buildings.
