BIM - Advantages
2022-03-20
- BIM (Building Information Modeling) is an AEC work methodology, which resulted from industry needs and technological advances. BIM follows the entire life cycle of the building (plan, design, build, operate) and depends on a vast set of software.
The AEC industry finds in BIM a smarter and more efficient work strategy.
BIM, compared to the traditional methodology focused on CAD (Computer Aided Design), brings great benefits to customers, project teams, builders and facility managers.
A CAD software is a one-dimensional visualization tool, while a BIM software is a multidimensional visualization tool.
BIM- error reduction
- Practical use in construction
- Precise coordination between the various disciplines
- better communication
- Greater control over building constructability, planning and cost
- More dynamic work process between teams, client and builder
- plan, design, build, operate
- Facilitates communication on site, as it is an intuitive and multidimensional communication tool
- It is based on cost management
- Allows you to visualize the project as a whole before it is built, allowing you to predict situations and avoid problems
- Better coordination of disciplines, avoiding future conflicts on the job, saving time and money
- Allows rigorous planning of the project and the work
- Maximizes the use of prefabrication, reducing construction time,
- When the work is finished, the “digital twin” has compiled all the information necessary for the management of the facilities.
- In conclusion, BIM brings a more dynamic, rigorous and less error-prone work process. It allows for better communication between all stakeholders, saving time for teams and the owner of the work, accelerating the construction process, minimizing problems, waste, reducing work time, reducing costs and increasing profits.
