Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Internet of Things (IoT) for Enhanced Collaboration and Real-Time Monitoring

Bagonza, Jimmy Kinyonyi (2025) Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Internet of Things (IoT) for Enhanced Collaboration and Real-Time Monitoring. World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 27 (1). pp. 2444-2450. ISSN 2581-9615

Digital transformation is reshaping the construction sector through technologies that promote collaboration, streamline processes, and support data-informed decision-making. The combination of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies marks a major leap in construction practices, providing unparalleled capabilities for project management, monitoring, and optimization. This research investigates how BIM applications are changing construction workflows and collaborative efforts, while also examining how IoT and cloud-based systems facilitate real-time monitoring of construction activities. The results indicate that integrated BIM-IoT solutions bring notable enhancements in efficiency, safety, and sustainability within the construction field, driven by improved information sharing, predictive analytics, and collaborative decision-making systems. As construction companies increasingly embrace these digital tools, the industry is poised for benefits, including shorter project timelines, reduced costs, and enhanced quality and performance of buildings.
