BIM + AR/VR: A review on BIM’s New Technologies and its Effect in Hospital construction projects

The results of hospital design should meet the requirements of design teams as well as healthcare stakeholder, which needs the excellent cooperation of stakeholders in the design phase of the project. Although, misunderstandings that occur between healthcare stakeholders and the design teams when using 2D drawing leads re-design and rework during the phase of design. Today, one of the most significant problems in hospital construction projects is the crash detection. The problem is excessively time and cost consuming. By using building information modeling (BIM) and its new instruments, i.e., Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) every stakeholder are able to have a better understanding of the project. The merits of BIM have typically been tied to its ability to hold information structuring and exchange through the centralization of data. Its increasing acceptance and the associated ease of data acquisition has created information-intensive workplaces, which can lead to information overload and thus adversely impact workers task efficiency during construction. The benefits of the method are not only limited to the construction time but also can be used for maintenance purposes. AR and VR have been presented as a mechanism to enrich the process of information extraction from BIM to improve the effectiveness of workers tasks. This research aims to have a review on the latest method on BIM and justify the obligation of using these methods to enhance task efficiency, cost and time.
