The importance of planning is paramount in construction design. Inaccurate measurements, missed structural details, or incomplete follow-ups can render your building insecure.
Fortunately, BIM or Building Information Modeling, technology allows construction managers to work closely with architects and engineers throughout the development process, creating mock-ups of various elements. These representations can simulate the building’s true function and dimension with 3D representations. This allows overseers at every touchpoint to ensure the structure is sound.
Here are a few key facts you should know about BIM.
BIM enhance teamwork
At any time during a project’s cycle, various departments may need to work together. Whether it is sales and marketing or design and engineering, everyone needs to put their heads together to ensure efficient functionality.
Yet, projects may hit roadblocks simply because one department doesn’t know what the other is working on. Or, missing key details missing may prevent information from being shared between offices.
BIM services focus on a central set of drawings that contain data for every department. In simple terms, an overseer, a safety manager, and sales rep can all look at the same figures and use the individual facts they need.
As a result, there is better communication within and between teams, quicker project approvals, and on-time deliverables. You would want to shave a few weeks off of the project’s timeline, wouldn’t you?
BIM allows you to make critical changes
BIM technology is agile. It allows multiple viewing angles for the same image. This means managers are quickly able to spot errors, even before they’re built. This enables you to save time and resources required to fix those errors later.
BIM facilitates smarter planning
Before starting a project, it’s important to get an understanding of the current infrastructure look like and the surrounding landscape. While photographs and notes about the site are helpful, they can’t capture the details required to create a good project plan.
BIM Services include advanced tools like 3D aerial captures and digital elevation measurements. This data can be utilized to create more detailed project preparations that for a successful build.
