Conventional ways of building construction process lack proper task scheduling and planning of the project work at the site resulting in poor monitoring of the whole process. Building information modelling (BIM) creates a platform where all the information of every single element of the construction process can be virtually integrated. The integration of 3D elements of a building model with its scheduled time and cost parameters results in 5D BIM. This feature enables the visualization, scheduling, planning, and monitoring and clash detection of all pre- construction, construction and post-construction processes of a building. The present study used the information of a live project of a traditionally built residential building which was remodelled using 5D BIM technique. The purpose of this study was to compare and analyse the impact of 5D BIM on time and cost parameters of the live project.
