Research analyzing remodelling of existing CAD documentation of Railway Station Šumice into BIM CDE and GIS environment. Evaluated effectiveness of remodelling existing railway as-built documentation for Railway Administration of Czech Republic. Addresses BIM data standard developed by State Fund for Transport Infrastructure. Conclusions show GIS environment (layer oriented) proved faster for remodelling compared to BIM CDE (object oriented) for railway structures with many special objects.

Research on links between Level of Development (LOD) in BIM environment and project documentation stages within Czech Republic legislation. Uses experiences from CzBIM working group ‘WG#03: BIM & Realization’ and ‘Draft of unified data structure for BIM in Czech Republic’. Defines specific LOD of parameters connected to specific information and details requested by Czech legislation.

Research analyzing BIM data-driven workflows for Complex Building Quality Assessment (CBQA) using Czech national assessment method SBToolCZ. Case study of real pilot residential building project funded by Technology Agency of Czech Republic (TN01000056, NCK CAMEB Centre for Advanced Materials and Efficient Buildings). Presents experience and recommendations for setting up data model for automatic assessment using IFC data structure.

Research on using BIM for tendering facility management service providers. Presents options available during tendering for company’s support service providers within BIM framework. Principle based on defining necessary content of BIM to enable smooth transition between implementation and operational phases. Model should contain information for selection process for FM service providers.

International collaboration through Erasmus program for digital reconstruction of Vinohrady Synagogue in Prague (demolished 1951). Combined expertise from Viennese synagogue reconstructions (TU Vienna) with resource organization methodology (KU Leuven). Reconstruction using BIM software illustrates added value of BIM approach for complex geometry, integrating with 2D documents, visualizing reconstruction assumptions in 3D model.

Empirical cost-benefit analysis of BIM implementation in three Czech public sector healthcare projects: Children’s Sanatorium with Speleotherapy, Air Rescue Services Base, and Neurorehabilitation Center. Analysis reveals BIM adoption led to measurable reductions in rework, improved stakeholder coordination, enhanced facility management efficiency with cost-benefit ratio of more than 4.5. Based on real project data including BIM documentation and project budgets.

Official Czech Government BIM Strategy published September 2017 to stimulate public sector and support digital transformation and growth of construction sector. Prepared by Ministry of Industry and Trade with State Fund for Transport Infrastructure and CzBIM experts. Key element for reducing costs, cutting waste, avoiding errors through adoption of BIM. Addresses lifecycle of buildings (pre-investment, investment, operation, demolition), standardization, IFC format adoption, facility management.
