    • A Review of Building Information Modelling for Construction in Developing Countries 

      Bui, Nam; Merschbrock, Christoph; Munkvold, Bjørn Erik (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-12)
      Building Information Modelling (BIM) is wide ly seen as a catalyst for innovation and productivity in the construction industry. BIM can assist a more sustainable construction process that in turn may contribute to ...

    • Acceptance of construction scheduling visualizations: bar-charts, flowline-charts, or perhaps BIM? 

      Rolfsen, Christian Nordahl; Merschbrock, Christoph (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-12-02)
      Four - dimensional Building Information Modelling is widely viewed as the next evolutionary step in construction scheduling. Linking scheduling information to parametric object models is believed to ...

    • BIM technology acceptance among reinforcement workers - the case of Oslo airport's terminal 2 

      Merschbrock, Christoph; Rolfsen, Christian Nordahl (Journal of Information Technology in Construction;21(1), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-01)
      Today’s design teams deliver engineering models sophisticated enough to serve as blueprints for production and construction work. However, issues of adoption persist for the on-site use of building information modelling ...

    • Circumventing obstacles in digital construction design - a workaround theory perspective 

      Merschbrock, Christoph; Figueres, Alejandro (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Building Information Modeling (BIM) has proven its value for design in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry . However, currently only a few leading firms succeed in reaping the full potential of BIM. ...

    • Exploring a simple visualization tool for improving conceptual understanding of classical beam theory 

      Johnsen, Eivind; Nielsen, Magnus; Hjelseth, Eilif; Merschbrock, Christoph (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-12)
      First year students struggle to understand the concepts in introductory engineering physics courses. Computer generated visuali zations have proven their value for improving learning in tertiary education. ...

    • Inefficiencies in Norwegian Small-scale Construction, or the Problem of too Long Trucks? 

      Eivindson, Espen; Innvær, Berner Elias; Kolberg, Elisabeth; Merschbrock, Christoph; Rolfsen, Christian Nordahl (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      “When the truck arrived at the construction site it could not unload the material because it [the truck] was too long, we had to send it away […], this happens all the time in Oslo where we have to build on very small ...

    • Integrating BIM and gaming to support building operation: the case of a new hospital 

      Merschbrock, Christoph; Lassen, Ann Karina; Tollnes, Tor (NOKOBIT - Norsk konferanse for organisasjoners bruk av informasjonsteknologi;22(1), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Moving into a new hospital requires healthcare professionals to adapt to a new work environment. Workflows, processes, and competencies become obsolete and need to be tailored for the new hospital. This paper explores a ...

    • Investigating ‘Green BIM’ in a Norwegian construction project: an institutional theory perspective 

      Lassen, Ann Karina; Merschbrock, Christoph (Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Design, Construction and Operations;Vol 149, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Building Information Modelling (BIM) is catching on as the preferred tool in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. However, the models are seldom used for simulations such as energy calculations ...

    • Serious games as a virtual training ground for relocation to a new healthcare facility 

      Merschbrock, Christoph; Lassen, Ann Karina; Tollnes, Tor; Munkvold, Bjørn Erik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)
      Purpose – This paper aims to enquire into how building information modelling (BIM) and gaming can be integrated to support professionals in their learning about the spatial layout of a new building. This knowledge is ...

    • Solution selection in digital construction design a lazy user theory perspective 

      Merschbrock, Christoph; Tollnes, Tor; Rolfsen, Christian Nordahl (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      The construction industry is in the midst of a transition with traditional design systems being gradually replaced by novel vir tual modeling technologies. This transition takes place gradually rather than radically and ...

    • Understanding Biofilm Issues in Wastewater Pipes 

      Fossberg, Helge; Rydningen, Ulf; Merschbrock, Christoph (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      It is well known how wastewater creates biofilm in pipes. Wastewater contains many microorganisms and other materials that make the pipes particularly susceptible to biofilm formation. Biofilm is an aggregate of microorganisms, ...
