Design

Working on visually rich 3D environment being the most obvious and prominent aspect of Building Information Modeling, the benefits of BIM during the Design phase are prominently known in the industry.

Conceptual Design

The finalized design concept is executed for the rest of the project life-cycle and hence it is considered as the most critical stage of the project. Having BIM modesl to help the team to understand the design aspects like orientation, sun-path & shadows, wind direction, circulation etc. greately improves the quality of the decisions made

Visualization

Being able to visualize the project in 3D live as certain decisions are being made is a huge benefit for both designers and owners. Current BIM tools in the market have been developed with fast and userfriendly rendering features to quickly generate highquality presentation renderings with less experience. Cloud based rendering tools allow the user to continue to work and also reduce the memory required from the hardware. Using BIM Models to develop Virtual Reality experience is becoming a common practice.

Design Coordination / Clash Detection

Some of the huge time saving and cost saving is realized during the design coordination phase of the project using BIM. Being able to using Clash Detection tool to automatically identify all the interferences between multiple disciplines and resolving them before going on to the construction site is a major advantage.

Documentation & Quantification

BIM Models are developed with components representing the real world building elements like walls, doors, windows etc. This provides the team with the power to accurately represent the model in both data sheet(quantities) and drawings(floor plans, elevations etc) format with zero coordination issues.
