Benefits of BIM during Various Stages


The various benefits of BIM as enjoyed by the different parties involved are listed below.

During Pre-Construction stage

·         Allows to verify if the proposed design is feasible financially
·         If not, it instantly creates a new design within the constraints of desired time/cost parameters
·         Allows architecture/engineering documentation



During Design stage

·         3D visualization during any stage of design process
·         Accurate 2D drawings extraction during design
·         Determines if the 3D model is constructible at the site
·         Extraction of parameters for sustainable building design performance analysis and evaluation
·         Analysis and correction of  building design in detail
·         Contains intricate details on the structure, site and proposed materials of the building
·         Enables accuracy in cost estimates and budget control


During Construction & Fabrication stage

·         Accurate visualization of the building with real time parameters
·         Better onsite coordination of services in construction sequencing
·         Detects conflicts or clashes and allows resolution for the entire building
·         Reflection of a minor change in the digital database throughout the model
·         Construction documents creation containing minute information regarding the structure, quantities and materials
·         Easy facility management and maintenance
