Abstract
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a process used for new buildings but has been used in existing and heritage buildings since 2008. Historic BIM (HBIM) offers historians, architects, engineers, managers the opportunity to collaborate. Thus, it makes the realization of stages such as conservation, project design and management of heritage buildings systematic and easy. Missing data, documents, and archiving problems are typical issues encountered when protecting heritage buildings. Researchers aim to develop HBIM to resolve these issues, and thus intelligently document, interpret, and manage complex and culturally significant heritage buildings. In this paper, a systematic literature review is conducted on studies published between 2009 and 2020 on the HBIM concept and process. In total, 194 primary studies have been determined on the HBIM process and stages. By examining these studies, an up-to-date workflow was created for the usage areas and process of HBIM. The tools, methods, and software that may be required during HBIM implementation and possible difficulties that may be encountered are explained. Also, it is foreseen that HBIM will replace the traditional survey and restoration process in the near future.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
