Abstract
The chapter embarked on a comprehensive exploration of robotic process automation (RPA) and its merge with building information modeling (BIM) in revolutionizing the construction industry. By investigating the applications, benefits, challenges, and opportunities associated with RPA and its integration with BIM, this research has shed light on the immense potential for transforming productivity, efficiency, safety, decision-making, and sustainability in construction processes. Moreover, the merge of RPA with BIM represents a paradigm shift in collaboration, data management, and decision-making within the construction industry. By combining the strengths of these two transformative technologies, stakeholders can achieve unprecedented levels of coordination, efficiency, and accuracy throughout the project lifecycle. RPA, when integrated with BIM, empowers real-time monitoring, safety analysis, clash detection, risk assessment, and advanced simulations, allowing for proactive identification and resolution of issues.
