Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with building information modelling (BIM) technologies is revolutionising the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. This article explores the transformative potential of AI-based solutions in BIM, focusing on their ability to improve design accuracy, automate processes and optimise construction workflows. Key advances include predictive analytics, generative design and sustainability modelling, which enable professionals to create smarter, more efficient and more sustainable buildings. By analysing emerging trends and challenges, this research highlights the important role of AI in shaping the future of BIM technologies and the wider digital transformation of the AEC sector. This article also explores the successful integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into architectural and urban planning projects, highlighting real-world examples of its application, demonstrating how AI enhances design efficiency, sustainability, and innovation in the built environment.
