Key Advantages of Building Information Modeling Construction
Construction Business Review | Wednesday, January 12, 2022
BIM helps construction companies to save time and money.
Fremont, CA: Building Information Modeling is more than just a technology; it's a complicated design and construction process that aids architects in creating futuristic structures. Given are some of the major advantages of BIM in construction.
• Cost and Resource Savings
BIM has the advantage of providing accurate construction cost estimates even before the construction phase begins. Architects can estimate materials costs using software like BIM 360 Docs. It gives architects a clearer sense of how much the project will cost and helps them find cost-cutting opportunities.
• Improved Communications
BIM facilitates communication between architects, clients, contractors, and other project stakeholders. Because BIM is a "single source of truth" system, all essential information is shared and kept in one location, including models, estimates, and design notes.
As a result, everyone working on the same project has access to the data and can even make ideas. It's a true collaboration that breaks down information silos and assists architects in determining the optimal solutions using data analytics.
• Greater Efficiency and Shorter Project Lifecycles
In general, the sooner one can complete the construction of a structure; the less money one will spend on the whole project. Furthermore, finishing a project on scheduled time or ahead of schedule enhances the return on investment by allowing residents to use the area as soon as feasible. Therefore, architects may utilize BIM to design projects quickly and begin construction more quickly. As a consequence of increased workflow and other efficiencies, the project will progress faster.
• Higher Quality Results
While the benefits of BIM are most obvious throughout the design and construction phase, customers may notice a difference in build quality. It's because more exact and accurate calculations and models are possible with BIM, resulting in a higher-quality structure.
