BIM and Construction Integration

The availability of small reasonably priced computers—micro-computers—has made computer based techniques and management control accessible for the analysis of construction processes. A microcomputer implementation of the CYCLONE method for the analysis of a contruction operation is presented. The CYCLONE method is an analytical technique for the analysis of construction processes. The system, as discussed, is implemented on the TRS-80 and Apple II plus microcomputers. Two complete examples analyzing a paving process and a precast process are presented and discussed. The implementation of CYCLONE on a microcomputer provides a cost effective means by which construction decision makers can compare various construction methodologies and conduct sensitivity analysis of a selected methodology to determine the optimal or best resource mix.
