What is BIM (Building Information Modeling) Construction exactly ?

Benefits of BIM Technology

• Building Information Modelling Technology helps Architects, Engineers and Designers with a better visualisation of a project before construction, this helps in the estimation of cost in a more integrated way since it connects all the fields involved in the construction, BIM with its wide range of applications and advanced technology accelerates growth.

• BIM improves coordination AECO between contractors, subcontractors, fabricators, suppliers, and manufacturers by sequencing, and storing data on export and growth.

• BIM benefits construction professionals by reducing abortive work off-site manufacturing, and clash detection in turn reducing time and money.

• Also, with the help of advanced BIM, it is possible to analyse the hazards involved in building structures, especially high-rise buildings, and take the necessary safety precautions while constructing. Hence it helps in the safety and health of the professionals involved.

• With the availability of pre-construction visualisation, BIM allows space flexibility and a high level of customisation.

• It makes it easier for Architects, Engineers and Designers to optimise and influence various stages of design and construction.

• BIM Technology leads to an overall better outcome.

• With the availability of asset data in BIM construction it is easier to maintain the building for operators and occupants.

• BIM also helps in the betterment of project lifecycle management.

Software used in BIM

These are the names of software that are used worldwide: AutoCAD, Autodesk Revit, ArchiCAD, SketchUp, Vectorworks Architect, BIM 360, Navisworks, All PLan, Leica Geosystems, ArCADia Architecture, Aurora, MicroStation, and Tekla Structures.

Projects that used BIM

Chase Center in California, USA, European Spallation Source in Lund, Sweden, Facebook’s Clonee Data Centre in Clonee, Ireland, Tianjin Chow Tai Fook Financial Center in Beijing, China and Istanbul Metro, Istanbul, Turkey have employed BIM Construction.

Bangalore Airport Terminal 2, the Neggur Metro Rail Corporation, the Underground Track in Delhi Metro Rail and The Personal Rapid Transit in Amristar are some of the projects in India that involve Building Information Modelling Technology.

With the limitless benefits of technologies like BIM and its rapid progress, the future is bright for the construction industry, only if we are quick enough to catch up with it!

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a process for creating and managing information about a construction project throughout its lifecycle. It provides a complete digital model of the project for all those involved, allowing them to update and improve at key stages.

What is BIM?

BIM is a process that enables collaboration between all of the professionals working on a building throughout its lifespan. All parties share the same information simultaneously, in the same format.

BIM has several benefits, including:

• More efficient site planning and scheduling
• More efficient hand-offs between steps in the construction stage
• Real-time cost visualization
• Simplified cost analysis
• Reduced energy consumption in the long run
• Better operational management of the building or structure after handover
