XXXVII <strong>IAHS</strong><strong>World</strong> <strong>Congress</strong> on HousingOctober 26 – 29, 2010, Santander, SpainCODE: 805USING OF THE NEWEST CAD/BIM TOOLS INCONSTRUCTION PROJECTMária Kozlovská, Lukáš SabolInstitute of Civil Engineering Technology, Economics and ManagementTechnical University of Košice, Civil Engineering Faculty, Slovak Republice-mail: maria.kozlovska@tuke.sk , lukas.sabol@tuke.skKey words: CAD, Virtual Building, construction processAbstractThe paper deals with new ways of using CAD and Virtual Building in construction projectby all participants. Another perspective of software products benefits will be analyzed. Thesesoftware products support a building projection following more complex information aboutconstruction elements. This way of projection allows a simulation of building costsparameters and building schedule parameters already in the stage of virtual building. Only thisapproach in project preparation provides minimization of needed projects actualization inbuilding course, improving success and effective building project completion, which allowsalso risk minimization of next project. The newest CAD/BIM tools allow to easily record andmonitor the progress of a project, compare actual progress to the schedule, and to react to anydeviations, which allow improving efficiency of constructive process management.37º <strong>IAHS</strong> <strong>World</strong> <strong>Congress</strong> On Housing Science 274
