Building
Information Modeling is a process that allows professionals to explore the
physical and functional characteristics of a project before it is built. It
uses consistent information to design, visualize, simulate, analyze, and then
document and deliver a project.
The challenges
of this time are build things faster, but also with good quality, and with less
money. BIM technology saves time and money, reduces the potential errors and
conflicts, and certainly makes the project better planned.
Combining the
strengths of building information modeling processes (BIM), in the design and
construction, engineers and contractors can automate much of the construction
project workflow, improving productivity and accuracy, completing the heavy
construction projects faster and more profitably.
According to BIM Handbook, one part quite
critical in a process is the system used for the elaboration of projects. A
company that uses 2D drawings, errors detection is performed manually by
overlaying individual system drawings. These manual solutions are slow, costly,
prone to error, and depend on the use of drawings. Electronic detection of
conflicts is an excellent method for identifying design errors, where objects
can occupy the same space, or they are inadequate spaces to safety and
maintenance.
One of the ways
in which the model-based design and BIM process in office is having a great
impact on the field and implementation of construction is the control of GPS
machines. This began to revolutionize the heavy construction industry, making
it possible for contractors complete projects faster, within budget and with a
much higher degree of accuracy.
There is a wide
scope of processes and tools currently in use across the industry of building.
Firms essentially use computer-based systems for almost all their design process:
estimating, construction planning and scheduling, cost control, accounting, vendor management, and marketing. With BIM technology,
architects and engineers can work together, and they can provide models earlier. Furthermore, future changes can be made in a way that everyone can see what has
been changed.
Thus, the efficient use of BIM in budgeting depends on the expansion of the adoption of this technology for architects and designers, and also by higher business owners, or contractors, as the advantages of BIM use in developing projects is currently the best and most cost effective solution for the design and construction projects.
