Building Information Modeling creates an "intelligent" 3D virtual information model of the building before it is built. This model synchronizes inputs from architects, engineers, contractors, developers, manufacturers and owners and all other participants in the process.
The co-ordination of multi-disciplinary models in a single environment is one of the foundations of Building Information Modelling. BIM helps you to identify conflicts and ensure a fully coordinated project design model.
With Building Information Modelling (BIM) one of the primary benefits is the ability to co-ordinate architectural, structural and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) models. Clashes can be ironed out and construction challenges resolved before anyone gets near a site – potentially saving lots of time and money.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a combination of technology, methods and processes. Succeeding on a complex BIM project with multiple stakeholders, multiple engineering disciplines and multiple CAD tools requires a common platform for successful digital collaboration.
- Increase collaborative capabilities between Architects, Engineers, Contractors and Sub- Contractors enabling quick decision making.
- Production of high quality construction documents.
- Co-Ordinate different services to avoid conflicts.
- Quantity take-off and cost estimation.
- Enables pre-fabrication of different components of the construction to minimize design lifecycle.
- Cost saving by eliminating waste and speeding Construction.
- Construction management .
