Abstract
This paper explores the automation of rebar fabrication and installation using Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology. Traditional rebar design and installation processes are time-consuming and errorprone, causing inefficiencies in construction. The use of BIM technology enables automated design, fabrication, and installation workflows for rebar systems, leading to improved accuracy, reduced costs, and enhanced productivity. This paper presents a systematic review of BIM’s application in rebar fabrication and installation, outlines the process of automating these tasks, and discusses case studies to evaluate the benefits of BIM in realworld applications.
