BIM is usually seen as a 3D modeling software, but is much more than that. BIM also allows error correction, cost control, planning efficiency and better operations management of a project. This means that BIM plays a key role in defining a sustainable and competitive construction strategy as well.
Here’s a look at some of the most significant benefits of integrating BIM into the construction strategy.
Coordination and Efficiency
The lack of effective communication amongst the various teams can cause errors that can increase costs and delay the project. Without BIM, the team will not be able to coordinate and keep working independently. BIM allows all the teams to work in an integrated manner. The collaboration helps them work more efficiently towards the common goal, right from beginning.
Estimating Cost and time
Time and cost are two vital factors in the success of the construction project. The BIM model helps in estimating costs and time required during the planning phase. The model-based reliable estimation helps in eliminating any human error, thereby improving the effectiveness of planning.
Eliminating on-site corrections
Every design goes through several changes during construction. A digital prototype of the facility allows a real-time view of the building, even before construction begins. This helps to avoid making any changes during the construction phase, and time lost to rework the design.
