Artificial Intelligence and Building Information Modeling (BIM): Transforming Architectural Design and Construction

Abstract

The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry is undergoing a significant digital transformation driven by the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Building Information Modeling (BIM). Traditional architectural design and construction processes often face challenges such as fragmented project coordination, design inefficiencies, cost overruns, construction delays, and inadequate lifecycle management. The convergence of AI and BIM has emerged as a transformative solution that enhances collaboration, automates complex processes, improves decision-making, and optimizes building performance throughout the entire project lifecycle. By combining intelligent data analysis with digital building models, AI-enabled BIM is redefining how buildings are planned, designed, constructed, operated, and maintained. the role of Artificial Intelligence and Building Information Modeling in transforming architectural design and construction. It explores the evolution of BIM and the application of AI technologies such as machine learning, computer vision, generative design, natural language processing, predictive analytics, robotics, and intelligent automation within the construction industry. how AI-integrated BIM supports design optimization, automated clash detection, cost estimation, scheduling, risk assessment, energy analysis, construction monitoring, quality control, facility management, and predictive maintenance the contribution of Digital Twin technology, cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and advanced data analytics in creating intelligent and data-driven construction ecosystems.
