Cutting Costs and Waste: BIM Optimizes Supplier Selection in Prefabrication
Prefabrication can save time and money in construction projects. Choosing the right supplier for materials is crucial. A new method was developed to help with this. It uses a list of criteria to evaluate suppliers, Building Information Modelling (BIM) to share project details, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to rank suppliers. By using this method, the best supplier can be chosen more easily and effectively for prefabrication projects.
