BIM companies are supporting the construction industry in the move towards BIM Compliance

This article is going to discuss specialist BIM companies and the revolution they are at the heart of within the construction industry.

BIM or Building Information Modelling is now considered the gold standard that the design and construction industry must work towards. BIM is essentially a collaborative approach to design and construction, providing intelligent information which is available for, and updated throughout the life-cycle of the building, helping to ensure the longevity and cost effectiveness of the construction and management of the building. The UK government is committed to having collaborative 3D BIM Compliance on all its public sector projects by 2016.

BIM companies – providing all the information you’ll ever need

Buildings Information Management is simple; it is essentially software that contains all of the information you’ll ever need about the building, from the design, construction materials and internal and external structures and infrastructures. It should be updated and amended regularly to reflect any changes to the building. Having this information in the same place and available throughout the construction of the building and later for use by buildings and facilities managers, will mean that the building can be properly managed and any maintenance required will be easier given the information to hand. Additionally having a thorough understanding of the building will mean the life cycle of the property could be extended by a number of years, helping to ensure longevity and cost effectiveness.

Intelligent Decisions for a better future

BIM companies will enable the design and construction industries to make intelligent decisions about the way they construct buildings and the materials they use, working towards safer and more efficient working conditions, implementing innovative energy efficiencies and assist both facilities and building managers to proactively maintain and manage a building throughout its intended lifecycle. Looking to the future, industry-wide BIM compliance in 2016 will lead to greater efficiencies within the design and construction industries, passing the cost savings and long term management and maintenance benefits on to the end user and ensuring the building is efficient in terms of both cost and energy for the future.

Cost saving and long term efficiencies for effective buildings management

There are various BIM companies are available who have implemented the modelling techniques required as part of the move towards BIM compliance. It not only proves to be effective for the construction project, but also helps in minimising the cost of the long-term management and maintenance of the building. The move towards BIM compliance can only be a beneficial thing for the building and construction industries.
