BIM for Construction

Maximises Time and Money Spent
One of the most time-consuming issues when developing the project is cost evaluation and assessment. Including estimators early in the planning phase helps with overall construction cost estimation. That is when 5D BIM comes in. It is a functionality that connects design, budget and schedule to give you a more complete view of construction projects. The process of taking off measurements and quantities from design is time-consuming and prone for errors. Using BIM software to access this information and act on it saves time and increases productivity by a lot!

Improves Communication
Good communication is a fundamental thing for every company, yet it is still a struggle in most of them. Proper communication in a construction company is even more important, as any misunderstanding can cost money or lives. Digital models made with BIM software offer online collaboration between team members, often in real-time [due to the cloud] that were not possible before. Automation helps with keeping the workflow updated and accurate. Coordinate planning, and making sure all stakeholders have updated info about the project easily is a huge benefit.

Project Visualization
This is the biggest advantage the BIM solution has. It allows you to see the project with the required specification during the pre-construction phase. You - and your clients - can view the finished effect before it is executed. It gives you time to communicate with your team about changes needed as well as it provides you with tools to control the project during further development. It lowers the risk of time-consuming and oftentimes expensive modifications.

Reduced Cost and Mitigated Risk
An effective way to correct/modify the project in the preconstruction stage offered by BIM software equals fewer risks for your company. Ensuring close collaboration with contractors and partners makes you more in control and lowers insurance costs or possibilities for claims. Improved project management and good communication save your team time and save your company’s money. Business using this model see a high return of investment while reducing costs and mitigating risks.

Safety Comes First
Visualization is a powerful tool. By having a digital plan of the project before the works on the construction site start, allow you to thoroughly analyze and spot hazards ahead of time. BIM software helps to identify zones “at-risk” so you can act on it faster. Safety assessment and risk evaluation are crucial for every construction company. Ensuring a safe environment for your construction workers will lower the risk of injuries as well as ensure project delivery on time.
