Competitively priced BIM Modelling / Guaranteed quality / Fast turnaround
Building Information Modelling, or BIM, has taken the construction industry by storm in recent years and has quickly changed the way that many design and construction engineers approach their work. For example, that BIM helps make the design process more collaborative among building professionals? Read on to discover the top five benefits of BIM for MEP engineers.
With BIM, project teams can collaborate effectively across a wide range of disciplines to plan and execute each step along the way. Designers, engineers, constructors and owners all have access to consistent data about a building’s design. So it’s easier to integrate new information and find solutions to problems quickly. By better coordinating these efforts from start to finish. The Projects run more smoothly and efficiently—and with fewer mistakes or last-minute changes—than ever before. The result is an end product that meets client’s vision and budget as seamlessly as possible.
Working with a BIM model offers a variety of benefits. One of them is that it gives contractors and owners an improved design in terms of accuracy. As everything is represented in 3D hence there’s no guesswork involved—how objects will fit together is determined by visualizing them as a unit within a unified space. There are also fewer surprises during construction since problems can be identified during pre-construction reviews instead of during on-site construction. This helps save time and money. And any changes made to the design after construction begins can easily be applied to all affected objects in real time.
Traditional CAD systems are not well-suited to collaboration and sharing data between multiple project teams. Additionally, engineers may have drawings and specifications but not have access to details on subcontractors or material suppliers. With BIM software all project information is stored in one placeand it can be viewed by all team members at any time. This improved collaboration makes it easier to manage drawings, specifications, costings and supplier lists. It’s also more efficient when performing changes because all files are kept up to date, which saves both time and money. As most large-scale projects involve many different consultants a collaborative system that allows easy management of design documents is vital.
Field changes require in-depth coordination among all parties involved, from MEP engineers to project managers to subcontractors and vendors. BIM can be a great tool for communicating with all those stakeholders—after all, it creates a central repository for information about each project. This can help you streamline your communication channels and reduce potential confusion over any field changes down the road. If a change order is filed by someone on site, you’ll know right away; if one is pending but hasn’t been officially filed yet, that’s easy to see as well. As this reduces administrative overhead while increasing awareness and accountability—all pluses when it comes to managing projects more efficiently.
BIM streamlines your workflow and keeps you from repeating mistakes and oversights, which is a huge benefit to everyone involved in construction. By using BIM models during construction, you can identify design flaws before they occur and make necessary changes as needed. And this ultimately reduces material waste, makes projects run more smoothly, and increases time efficiency.
