That BIM is booming in the construction sector is nothing new. And that authorities and architects look for ways to spread their use and implant it both. However, they still have to exploit some of their potentials. Read on!
Why? Some companies are still unaware of the advantages of using BIM and how it would allow them to save money and, above all, time. It is true, that many other companies lack the resources to be able to implement BIM.
BIM during project planning
By using BIM during project planning, we make it easier to design and build the project, although we need good planning when entering data and not putting data that is unnecessary. However, BIM is able to produce a complete project for the client who can know absolutely everything about the design, construction, and maintenance of the building.
The BIM allows us to visualize the project in detail. In other words, we can see the conflicts before and solve them in the model, and also, have informed the whole team.
If we work with BIM during the planning and do it correctly, the margin of error is very small, because BIM may be able to detect them and avoid the possibility of making mistakes that in the long run can be very expensive.
BIM: not only a 3D model
If the 3D model and the fact of being able to realize models of virtual reality impresses, and it is useful but is not the most important of the planning process. What really matters is the information behind that model.
BIM allows working in a more efficient way because you can program objects and materials until you know the suppliers and know who was the installer or the budgets that were used (even where the spare parts are stored) so that the maintenance of the building does not mean in the long run a problem.
The use of BIM may seem expensive to many but the elements we use repeatedly in one project and another, we have them and do not need to introduce them again, that is, saves time and cost of work. But, the basis of everything is always: to plan well
Some local authorities seeking smaller-scale projects may consider BIM out of reach, a tool for larger, more complex schemes. In fact, the informative aspect of BIM can be very useful to local authorities, providing an easy way to maintain the tabs of newly acquired buildings for both the local authority and the end user.
