... using models developed by different designers, which are then integrated into a virtual model of the complete building through federated models. These models also need to hold the data required to support BIM uses such as 3D coordination, 4D planning and 5D quantification that should be possible...

...Farzaneh Moshtaghian; Esmatullah Noorzai Purpose This research has been conducted with a view to creating a framework to integrate risk management based on building information modeling (BIM) information. Design/methodology/approach In this research, all the information related...

...Alolote Amadi Purpose This study demonstrates integration within a mixed-methods case study of construction phenomena, whilst ensuring reliability and validity. This is in view of the established philosophical challenges in theory generation, whereby qualitative and quantitative methods...

... of these approaches could be integrated into OSC in a precise manner as viewed by architects as well as how this might occur. Design/methodology/approach An empirical research and empirical cycle (EC) was adopted as a methodological framework to measure incompatibilities. A combination of quantitative...
