Abstract

This research deals with the feasibility of integrating building information modeling (BIM) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to improve construction project planning and control processes. Examining successful construction projects shows that it is necessary to modify traditional planning methods; Because by using newer technologies such as BIM and AI, it is possible to reduce planning errors and thus affect project success. This research analyzes the advantages and different potentials of BIM and AI integration compared to traditional methods, discusses some useful BIM and AI tools for planning, and explains the possibility of their integration; Finally, the challenges of implementing these tools and suggestions for overcoming obstacles and future development are discussed. The result is that using BIM and AI integration tools can bring countless benefits (such as speeding up planning, more accurate forecasts, optimizing resources, and reducing risk) to the planning process. However, studies are still needed to facilitate the use of these technologies through adaptation, development of standard approaches, and education of construction industry stakeholders.
