Kuidas muudab mudelprojekteerimine teraskonstruktsioonide valmistamist ja ehitamist
schedule for a complex structure (Whited & Gatti, 2007).
During construction, problems tend to amplify when the wrong steel arrives at the wrong
time on the jobsite due to poor tracking by the fabricator. Moreover, it can be very
difficult to explain complex erection schedules to the steel crew based on 2D drawings.
Additionally, explaining field discrepancies to the project managers and detailers can be
frustrating when the project only uses paper-based documents.
Shop-drawing review and submittals can take weeks and even then there might be several
issues that have not been discovered. Two dimensional drawings allow for a very limited
clash detection process, which is based on the engineer manually comparing hundreds of
drawings and trying to visualize which elements might come into contact.
It is becoming increasingly common for clients to demand compressed schedules and
tighter budgets for their projects. Many engineering and construction firms are motivated
