BIM services make it easy for construction professionals to gain complete control of their projects. Interference between building systems can be checked with 3D BIM modeling. Construction companies, by implementing BIM in their work processes, can visualize schematic structures before construction, offering better project plans. Conflicts are easily detected, eliminating system conflicts prior to installation. Dedicated 3D BIM modelers streamline the process throughout the building lifecycle, allowing professionals to get a complete view of the construction.
Let’s now see how construction professionals can gain complete control of construction with BIM.
ยท Review of constructability issues: Competent engineers work with 3D to 6D BIM, facilitating project coordination, asset management, logistics planning, and accurate cost estimation. BIM helps solve constructability problems by discovering inconsistencies in input drawings, incomplete information, dimension error in plan and section drawings, and more. Engineers can perform root cause analysis of dimensional errors, leading to conflicts. In addition, the size of the structures can be revised, incorporated and relocated. To take an example, if the beam hits the window, the size of the window can be checked. If the floor and beam cuts are missing from the drawing, cuts can be added. Also, if the manhole collides with the structure, the location of the manhole can be changed.
Construction Sequence Visualization: The entire construction sequence can be visualized with 4D BIM, which helps project stakeholders visualize the entire series of construction events and understand the progress of construction activity throughout the construction. project useful life. The construction sequence can be linked to the BIM model to display the simulation in real time in an animated video. Based on 4D presentation, planned vs. the actual construction sequence can be compared throughout the project life cycle. Construction planners can explore 4D simulation to assess the importance of the proposed design to the construction schedule and work process. They can detect conflicts, improve the construction schedule, track materials, and manage the supply chain. 4D BIM acts as a powerful communication tool between project stakeholders, resulting in a better understanding of project milestones and the construction plan. Delays and rework are minimized, helping the project team to carefully plan and coordinate operations down to the last detail, both in time and space.
Cost and Time Saving: BIM helps to save a lot of time and money for the project. Costs for labor, MEP items, dismantling, rework, reinforcement validation, design changes and more can be saved. Total man-days are also saved from BIM, such as man-days for civil elements such as concrete steel reinforcement, finish, formwork, interior elements, facade, man-days for dismantling, and man-days for rework. Revit design and fabrication model in Navisworks can be merged to avoid the cost of rework due to conflicts.
Implement a construction BIM technology solution to maximize return on investment, save time, and support successful project execution. BIM plays a vital role in optimizing construction design, coordination and management. Embrace BIM and facilitate design disciplines to collaborate seamlessly, improving work efficiency, reducing errors, verifying aesthetics, and improving building performance.
