Abstract

This research explores integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology for bridge sustainable design. It discusses the transitions from AutoCAD to BIM in the construction industry, with BIM recognized for increasing efficiency, sustainability, and accuracy in construction projects. Primary data was obtained by interviewing experienced and competent BIM user sources in carrying out bridge planning work to determine the factors that influence the efficiency of BIM-based planning with conventional methods. Secondary data used were obtained through the Barelang Bridge Project. In-depth interviews were conducted with BIM users with more than three years of experience to support the analysis. The study results show that bridge planning uses BIM more effectively than manual methods. The level of error can be minimized, and financing is more efficient. BIM and other digital planning methods can ensure sustainable bridge construction.
