Be BIM Aware and Get the Edge

BIM, Building Information Modelling, is one the most talked about developments in design and build terms, from BIM requirements on complex public projects to its inclusion in one-off housing projects. What are the advantages of BIM and how can BIM awareness give your company the edge?

Advantages of Building Information Modelling

BIM combines information and data from different sources in a process which produces a comprehensive digital representation of your project. Used to manage information, drawings and 3D representations of a construction project, it brings together processes under one digital roof. So what are the benefits of BIM?

Digital Teamwork

One of the benefits of BIM is the ability to work in tandem with other designers, contractors, trades, installers and project managers, in real time. By creating and sharing information via BIM throughout the lifetime of a project, teams can see how everyone interacts with the design. Communication is improved and more people can access the digital design at any one time.

Efficiency

BIM is a process rather than one particular thing. It enables everyone on a construction project, view 3D digital representation of designs and services within a building. High level design changes for example, can be made, with different parties being able to adapt to them as BIM processes focus on the relationships of all parts of a building with each other. The integrated nature of BIM saves time and can improve the efficiency of any project.

BIM is Key to Construction

BIM awareness is something which clients, architects, engineers and project managers are increasingly looking for in any contractors or developers. While digital modelling has been amainstay on construction for a long time, the integrated processes of BIM have stepped up the world of digital representations and detailed planning on buildings. BIM is key to modern construction and an in depth understanding of BIM can help give you an edge overcompetitors.
