Integrating 5D BIM into large rail projects improves cost management but faces challenges related to technology, functionality, and governance. This paper presents a framework to support financial decision-making, project management, and efficient delivery. Key elements include project governance, BIM policies, digital platforms, BIM LOD, cost-estimation classification, and continuous improvement. Governance ensures structured implementation, policies maintain […]

Integrating 5D BIM in large rail projects enhances cost management but faces technical, functional, and governance challenges. This paper proposes a framework addressing governance, BIM standards, digital platforms, LOD, cost estimation, and continuous improvement. Applied to Victorian rail projects, challenges include data exchange limitations and governance gaps. Further real-world validation is recommended. https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings14020478 Monash University […]
