Integration of material procurement and stock management with bim (building information modeling) in construction management processes

In this study, material procurement and inventory management processes were examined using Building Information Modeling (BIM) in construction projects. Today, construction projects are becoming increasingly complex, and effective resource management is of critical importance. In this context, BIM technology offers 3D and 4D modeling to enable more efficient management of project processes. The study focused on a site project consisting of 12 villas located in the Çamardı district of Niğde province. Material procurement planning and inventory management were carried out using BIM and MS Project software on this project. Firstly, the selected project was modeled in 3D using Revit software, and then a work schedule was created using MS Project to integrate 4D modeling. Workflows were created to plan the project process in detail, and the material procurement process was planned taking into account seasonal and logistical factors. The integration of the BIM 4D dimension ensured that the work schedule and material management progressed in harmony, contributing to the prevention of delays in the project process. The findings show that the work plan created using BIM-based 3D and 4D modeling offers significant advantages in terms of time management, cost control, and material management. The study also examined the impact of BIM on material stock management in detail, determining that visualizing material storage areas on a 3D model on-site has made material logistics more systematic and controlled. In conclusion, the widespread use of BIM technology in construction projects offers more efficient and error-free management in planning processes. However, it is emphasized that factors such as training, regulatory adjustments, and industry adaptation need to be developed for BIM to be used effectively. The findings of this study reveal that BIM 3B and BIM 4B technologies should be applied more widely in construction projects.
