Implementation of laser scanning and BIM technology in damaged buildings reconstruction

Abstract

Building information modeling (BIM) is one of the most promising recent developments in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. With BIM technology, an accurate virtual model of a building is digitally constructed. This model, known as a building information model, can be used for planning, design, construction, and operation of the facility. It helps architects, engineers, and constructors visualize what is to be built in a simulated environment to identify any potential design, construction, or operational issues. Also, BIM technology can be used in reconstruction of damaged and partially destroyed buildings. This is can be realized through the integration between it and various other technologies which make the process of reconstruction more efficient and constructive in saving time and efforts. © 2023 Author(s).
