Development of Earned Value Analysis on BIM-based Model Project Dashboard

Abstract

With today's complex construction, large scale constructions, engineers and teams are often rushed to build faster, deliver better quality projects. Most construction projects face more challenges and require more efficient methods and tools to assess project status, measure project progress, cost and time efficiency of construction projects. However, because of the complex mathematic formulas, the difficulty of collecting data, most often it uses the experience of project managers in managing such problems. To solve these problems, the research team presents Building Information Modeling (BIM) as a new technology and the future of the Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. This combined with Earned Value Analysis (EVA) to measure the progress, cost and time efficiency of construction projects. In this article, demonstrate how to develop an EVA-BIM Project Dashboard (Earned Value Analysis on BIM-based Model Project Dashboard) tool, showing the results of Earned Value Analysis based on BIM model data. Describes how to use Dynamo Visual Programming to extract data from BIM models developed from Autodesk Revit software. To create and display a project dashboard with Microsoft Power BI software. To evaluate the validity of proposed tool, the compare of EVA from the EVA-BIM Project Dashboard withthe conventional method are performed with 3-storey dormitory construction project, the results reveal no difference comparing with conventional method and EVA-BIM Project Dashboard can be displayed accurately on multiple devices.
