In today’s advanced world, integrated project management is considered a fundamental principle for success in industrial projects. This approach includes activities necessary to identify, define, combine, and coordinate various processes. Our choices regarding resource allocation, option comparison, communications, risk-taking, and scheduling must practically cover each other. In this article, we examine the mechanization of project management processes, planning and control, and the role of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in these processes.
Integrated project management involves activities necessary to identify, define, combine, and coordinate these processes.
The mechanization of project management processes includes planning, managing, and controlling the time, cost, and scope of the project, quality, safety, health, and environment, stakeholders, communications, and procurement. These processes are improved using automation and innovative tools, making projects more efficiently executed and reducing the likelihood of errors.
Planning, managing, and controlling the time, cost, and scope of the project are some of the most important components of project management. These processes are continuously reviewed and updated throughout the project’s lifecycle to ensure that the project stays on the right track and meets its goals. Additionally, planning and managing quality are also crucial to ensure that all aspects of the project meet the desired standards.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) and project management processes share common goals, which can be summarized as reducing design and execution costs, reducing time, and increasing quality. BIM, by creating a common language and platform for collaboration among various disciplines, facilitates the realization of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) and aids in implementing project management processes.
In terms of alignment with relevant standards, the Building Information Modeling standard (ISO 19650) aligns and conforms with the Asset Management standard (ISO 55000) and the Project Management standard (ISO 21500). This alignment means creating a common framework for executing projects with high quality and greater efficiency.
VISTAFARAZ has created a specialized CDE based on SharePoint for implementing BIM, where, in addition to meeting the CDE requirements for BIM, the project management processes based on PMBOK are also addressed. This cloud-based platform creates integration among various project stakeholders (client, contractor, consultant, subcontractor, suppliers) and prevents redundant data entry into systems. Additionally, some activities are performed automatically and systematically, significantly reducing the likelihood of errors.

Integrated project management in industries is a crucial approach to ensuring the success of projects. Using automation and innovative tools, along with implementing BIM, can improve efficiency and reduce errors in projects. VISTAFARAZ, by utilizing these approaches and international standards, has been able to execute high-quality and efficient projects and gain recognition in international arenas.
Using these approaches, projects are executed in an integrated and coordinated manner, where all components and various processes interact and harmonize with each other. This article demonstrates how integrated project management can help improve quality, reduce costs, and increase efficiency in industries.
Our selection of assigning the resources, comparing the options and contacts, taking risks and scheduling should be in common. The integrated management of the project actually includes the activities required for recognition, description, combination and synchronization of the above-mentioned procedures.
