Implementasi Aplikasi Mobile Building Information Models

Abstract

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a facility, enabling more efficient planning, design, construction, and operation processes. However, the use of BIM in the construction industry is often hindered by the complexity of conventional software and limited accessibility in the field. This study aims to develop a mobile-based BIM application that enhances accessibility for field workers, clients, and project teams without requiring additional design software installations. The research follows the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) – Waterfall model, covering requirement analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and deployment. The application is developed using Java for Android, OpenGL for 3D visualization, Laravel for backend services, and MySQL for database management. Key features include project and file management, 3D model visualization, and PDF document viewing. The testing phase demonstrates that the application successfully meets user requirements, providing efficient and real-time access to BIM data. Future development may include support for additional file formats (e.g., IFC), improved performance in 3D rendering, and integration with IoT sensors for smart construction applications. This research contributes to the digital transformation of the construction industry by offering a practical and accessible BIM solution.
