Construction being the stage where major portion of the project budget is used, it is very critical to ensure that everything is planned and organized before going to the site. BIM tools and procedures are now matured enough to seamlessly support the project during the Construction Planning and Monitoring stages of a project.
BIM can be used at various levels during the planning phase.
Construction Planning / 4D
BIM Models with time parameter incorporated into the components enable the team to simulate and analyze the construction schedule for the project. Being able to virtually build the project will help the team to tweak the schedule for any clashes and also help with procurement and manpower activities.
Cost Estimation / 5D
Accurately estimating the material and cost is very critical for the success of a project. By incorporating the cost parameter to the components, BIM models can be used to develop the total project cost to greater levels of accuracy. This also enables the team to make better material and construction technique selection to control the project budget.
Construction Monitoring
Using multiple sets of 2 Dimensional drawings on the construction site is a thing in the past. BIM Models are made accessible on the construction site for the members to understand the expected result better. This enables the construction teams with less experience to understand the project completely. Models are viewed on the site using mobile stations or touch screen devices to seamlessly monitor the construction status an quality.
As-Built Model
By having a complete documentation of all the decision made during the construction process including the design updates and product selections incorporated into BIM Models, tends to become a major asset for Owners and Facility Managers at the later stage of the project.
