Building Information Modelling (BIM) has recently gained much attention in the construction industry. Due to the complexity of construction projects, it is essential to provide BIM models with construction automation of schedules and cost estimating that can automatically update the changes during the construction process. Defining workflow for automated generation of optimised 4D/5D BIM simulation and analysis is still a big challenge in the AEC field. This thesis suggests a workflow for creating the 4D/5D BIM model that starts with generating a proper QTO based on the desired properties and parameters of building elements then establish with the cost estimating process through the defined QTO and finally automate the generation of the construction schedules (Construction sequencing) of the project. One of the main focuses is also the integration of this workflow with the least amount of software to avoid the loss of information when transferring the information model between different platforms. Bexel Manager software has been mainly used to apply this workflow. Two case studies of small multi-storey buildings have been used to test the workflow, one of the case studies has only access to the IFC file, and the other is modelled from scratch in the authoring software.[E.
