BIM is the recipe for success in the construction industry 

History is witness that humans have been building homes and structures for centuries. Every historical milestone is characterized by buildings that bear the stamp of that time period and represents the technological advancement of the then era. 

History of construction

 Ancient buildings also drop hints about the prevalent cultural and religious practices popular those days. One piece of information, however, cannot be ascertained is when humans first started building though there is certainly plenty of evidence that early humans made use of naturally formed shelters such as caves. 

The first tenets of simplest structures like tents and huts made of sticks and hides cannot be found as they do not leave a trace. All our knowledge is based on observing the still existing nomadic people in remote parts of the world.

There is, however, plenty of evidence of building, and preserved structures from the Neolithic era or New Stone Age. These construction sites prove that we were building structures to protect us from the elements, predators, and other people.

Modern day construction mainly evolved after the Second World War, There was a desperate need to deliver new houses quickly, paving the way for modern methods of construction (MMC or ‘smart construction'). On similar lines, BIMS has been promoted as a way of working more effectively to achieve more without using more with the help of digital technology. 

Bimsrv has made a name for itself in the construction industry by showing great commitment towards providing a full range of services through BIM consulting services to enhance a building lifecycle. Bimserv aims at staying focused on giving services that saves you time and cost to let you focus on what you need to do, instead of focusing on what you have to do. 

 

Benefits of BIM in Construction

    Although BIM has been the talk of the town yet there is a lot of confusion about BIM. One common misconception is that BIM is merely a technology with 3D design. But the reality is BIM is mainly a process for creating and managing all the information about a project, leading to an output known as a Building Information Model, which holds digital descriptions of a project. Here are the greatest benefits of BIM in construction:

 

1. Better Collaboration and Communication

Digital BIM models enable sharing and collaborating which paper drawing sets cannot. With the ultra-modern cloud-based tools such as Autodesk’s BIM 360, BIM collaboration becomes a seamless process within the project. Cloud access makes it possible for the project to take the office to the field and have access to up-to-date project information at any time.

2. Model-Based Cost Estimation

Having estimators early in the planning stage allows for accurate construction cost estimation. Using BIM tools such as scan to BIM services, Autodesk’s Revit and BIM 360 Docs enables automation of the highly time-consuming task of quantifying and applying costs. This leaves to focus on higher value factors, such as identifying construction assemblies and factoring risks.

3. Improved Coordination and Clash Detection

  BIM allows you to better coordinate with all the trades and subcontractors involved in the project. It helps detect any bone of contention in advance and can recognize internal, or external clashes before construction begins. By avoiding clashes, you can reduce rework, last-minute changes and unforeseen issues owing to easy reviewing across multiple disciplines.
