Top 5 benefits of BIM

Building Information Modeling or BIM as it is called has several advantages for AEC(Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry from high productivity to collaboration to energy efficiency.

    1. Enhanced Collaboration:

    Sharing and collaboration are important for AEC sector. However, a collaborative approach often leads to a number of problems. With projects involving a number of designs, it is natural that confusion might occur. However, BIM can help achieve a smoother collaborative process.

    With BIM, the project lifecycle stages are readily available in the cloud. Hence, is its easy to view or access information on-site, off-site, on computer or tablet devices. Also, everyone within the team can review and update the essential information. Hence, one does not have to worry about corruption in the files. BIM helps to streamline and coordinate the project.


    2. Enhanced Visualization:

    Use of 2D drawings and designs might not cover the entirety of a given project. And so, sometimes it becomes difficult to communicate ideas and design to the clients. However, BIM enables generating effective designs through 3D models and walkthroughs.

    The designs generating by BIM are more comprehensive and it allows to visualize the project in real-time. These models include every aspect of the building project with is energy performance levels. Hence, clients can review or have a walk through the designs before the actual construction takes place. 

    3. Cost-effectiveness:

    One of the biggest risks in any AEC project is to start the construction process only to know that the designs have some loopholes. This will lead to redesigning wasting a lot of time and cost. The solution to this is BIM. BIM allows effective clash detection techniques so as to identify the design problems during early phases. Hence, removing the need to design again and again. This will ultimately save the costs.

    4. Systematic building:

    Building a structure requires a lot of man force. It may involve hundreds of drafters, engineers, and architects. In this situation, it is difficult to keep everyone updated with the information. For example, a designer needs to change the floor plan only to know that other collaborators are still working on the old version instead of new one. What’s even worse? They might be creating a 3D model based on an old plan. The point here is document upgradation for enhanced collaboration.
   
    With the use of BIM, a high level of collaboration is possible between all the members through cloud computing. The work remains coordinated and it can be handled systematically.

    5. Enhanced productivity:

    Time is crucial for AEC project. If there is some major problem in any of the phase then it will set back the entire project. BIM can be used to avoid this. It helps to plan everything concisely. The change made in one aspect of the model can be reflected in other models as well.

    With BIM, the labor costs can be reduced. Client approval times are shortened, thus leading to enhanced productivity.
