Understanding The Concept Of BIM Compliance

Building Information Modelling or BIM is the name for the collection and storage, usually by using some computer software, of all the information and data regarding the design, construction and later, ongoing management and maintenance of a building. As far as professional approach to BIM is concerned, the construction work is based on the correct measurements, physical resources, representation of the facts in digital form. BIM Compliance is something that globally the construction industry is moving towards, by doing so this will allow for greater cost savings, less wastage and a more informed construction stage, and later when the building is in use this will help the building to be properly managed and maintained.

BIM for large projects

For large scale projects such as airports, hospitals, railway stations, shopping malls, hotels and office blocks BIM Compliance just makes sense. From a facilities management perspective it will help them to manage the lifecycle of the building, from laying the first brick to demolition. Understanding just how the building was constructed, the locations of all of the internal fixings and services will help building managers to manage the water, waste water, electricity and other services the building will have, as well as to help reduce costs and wastage during its construction.

Managing your manpower

With the help of BIM software, project managers can accurately estimate the quantity of material required for the build as well as being able to schedule and manage the work, organising the manpower required to construct the building in an efficient manner can make cost savings and help to reduce the construction time required. BIM Compliance is not new, but it is being rapidly embraced at a global level.

BIM for the future

With the widespread benefits of BIM Compliance being well understood throughout the design and construction industries, it is no surprise that for larger projects; especially for public buildings governments across the world are beginning to mandate the use of BIM. Whilst BIM is not new, its use is rapidly growing, smaller design companies may not have the requisite expertise in-house to be able to cope with the demand for BIM, this is where outsourcing the BIM aspects of your project are invaluable, BIM companies exist to help designers, architects and project team fulfil their BIM requirements.
