The leading force in the construction sector is Building Information Modelling, or “BIM.” The technology has been there for more than ten years, but in the last two years, it has generated a lot of attention in the business.
BIM stands for Building Information Modeling or a digital representation of a facility’s physical and functional characteristics that are represented digitally. By using BIM services in construction, it will be possible to generate visual files with all the variables required in the actual construction process.
The Benefits of BIM Construction
Providing the right input will result in a model that will contain all the information anyone working on the project needs to make it successful. BIM benefits the construction process in a number of ways, but here are five highlights:
1. Estimating the cost and constructability of a project
By expanding the scope of BIM, a construction manager and other stakeholders will be able to gain a more in-depth understanding of what exactly goes into the construction of a final project, which will make the construction process easier.
It should also be noted that traditional CAD forecasts do not always provide accurate pricing predictions, while BIM modelling includes all the variables that can be used to forecast construction prices both individually and as a whole.
2. Processes involved in complex construction
It is well known that the current construction process is incredibly complex, resulting in a lack of coordination, extended timelines, and a loss of money. As opposed to conventional construction methods, BIM provides a more cost-effective, time-sensitive solution: In BIM, data is directly related to design, meaning any changes in the design will be reflected in the model, thus accounting for every variable in the construction process.
3. Scope of the project
Conventionally, the purpose of a building model for a construction project is to provide the client with a visual representation of the building and infrastructure to be constructed.
As much as this type of CAD model can be used as a guideline to proceed further, it cannot be used for precise calculations of the variables involved, even though it can be used as a guideline.
There are a few variables which are not only included in BIM but they are also highlighted. For instance, thermal modelling is just as much a part of BIM as natural light and HVAC systems, for example. Changing from traditional architectural drawing to BIM is like expanding the scope of the model, which in turn will increase the reliability of the model will be expanded.
4. Coordinated engagement of stakeholders
In order to complete a construction project successfully, you need to maintain coordination between all the stakeholders at every stage of the process. Due to the wide range of variables involved in construction, BIM services can have a significant impact on the coordination of all stakeholders as they involve a wide range of factors.
