BIM (Building
Information Modelling) is a method of working created by BIM companies in order to fulfil a need to collate
and model information effectively. It is the process whereby a virtual 3-D model
in collaboration with all of the construction and materials information from
the project is created. BIM is held up as being a significant part of the
future for buildings projects, allowing architects and designers to make more
effective decisions about the construction of the building, with some studies
showing that about 30% of the waste that is generated during construction is
due to miscommunication or due to poor information, most of which can be
eliminated by the use of BIM software.
Making savings with the help of BIM companies
Working with
a BIM company who understands the nature of BIM compliance and has the right
experience to implement it effectively in your building project can help you to
avoid costly wastage. BIM will help the construction team by giving them the
exact requirements of the materials they will need, the quantity of a
particular material and when the material should be delivered which will help
reduce costs and wastage. BIM
companies have a raft of
expertise in the modelling of information and are best placed to help project
teams make savings and maximise the benefits of BIM during the lifecycle of the
building.
BIM - an investment in the future
The UK is
mandated by the government to achieve BIM compliance by 2016, as a result a
large number of companies have adopted BIM. However there is still a little way
to go, especially for smaller companies who feel they lack the resources to
become BIM complaint, outsourcing the BIM aspects of the project to external BIM Company could be a cost effective solution.
Although moving towards full BIM compliance requires some investment, companies
have showed positive response to it and are very pleased with it realising the
software’s advantages.
The benefits of BIM outweigh the negatives
The benefits
of working with BIM companies are that
many building projects which are already BIM compliant
have received includes return on investment, improvement in data integration,
analysis, visualization, facilities management, collaboration and also a
exploring the way the work should be approached. It is because of these
advantages that the companies regard BIM as a “must have” for firms.
