It's almost become cliche to expect that new constructions will run late. We've all heard stories of project delays due to problems in the field. While some of these issues can't be anticipated (weather being a great example), could some of these been avoided with increased planning? Enter BIM into the field of facility planning.
BIM fundamentally differs from conventional CAD approaches by representing both physical and functional construction aspects. Traditional methods employed 2D CAD capabilities, whereas BIM incorporates spatial dimensions (width, height, depth) plus time and cost as additional variables, creating a comprehensive facility overview with all building component properties.
This "big picture" knowledge of a structure allows for better decision making overall, during all points of its lifecycle.
“Key Benefits: 1.
”
Conventional CAD processes relied on 2D imagery, permitting inconsistencies that necessitated field decisions, generating expenses through change orders and scheduling adjustments. BIM appears to achieve cost reductions through minimized plan modifications onsite.
BIM enables stakeholders — owners, investors, contractors, consultants — to comprehend building dynamics more effectively. Planning becomes streamlined, expenses decrease, and uncertainties diminish.
Key Benefits: 1. Cost reduction through comprehensive project costing and stakeholder lifecycle input 2. Risk mitigation via early identification and resolution of potential complications 3. Earlier marketing opportunities allowing prospective tenants preview access 4. Reduced conflicts through enhanced early-stage stakeholder communication 5. Improved project timeline identification, tracking, and communication
