ABSTRACT
The Istanbul New Airport (INA) Building Information Modelling (BIM) department has managed the execution of the construction project through the planning, design and construction phases by considering the quality, cost, time and scope. The aim was to steer the site installation progress while making it cost effective and high quality with minimized rework using BIM mobile access. In other words, the procurement philosophy and project requirements make BIM use critically important for cost effective and sustainable facilities management of the airport infrastructure. During the design and engineering phase in the INA project, BIM has provided interdisciplinary coordination via BIM model clash detection and daily workshops held in the BIM room. When the construction was completed with no supervision or observation issues, inspection forms were registered with tablets by INA site engineers. Issues regarding the construction progress according to the baseline were detected and registered by the BIM engineers on site as progress monitoring.
