Abstract

Construction Rehabilitation Projects are often complex projects because of the specific building production environment. In fact the existing building structure is a constraint to project site layout organisation. So rehabilitation projects may need a major effort in safety design, due to new hazards and difficulties in standardization of building operations. The Building Information Modelling (BIM) approach can make a breakthrough for the rehabilitation construction project safety design because of construction phases simulation and visualization. The construction modelling process allows safety designers to better perform hazards evaluation and risks analysis, and to better evaluate the designed safety solutions, even if complete efficiency of BIM solutions for project safety design are still to achieve.
