Our Strategic BIM Goals
Strategic goals for the use of BIM during the design and construction phases:
Key Objectives
- Standardize the production process and maintain uniformity across projects and regions.
- Create a standardized data structure that allows data to be reused, and eliminates redundant and conflicting information.
- Decrease waste by utilizing a virtual building process to simulate design & construction activities.
- Reduce CAPEX (capital expenditure) costs with better informed decision making and greater coordination & collaboration amongst project teams.
- Allow the Design and Construction models to be used for building operations without adding significant costs or time to the Design & Construction process.
- Visual communication of site conditions for planning and health/safety/risk assessment.
- More accurate project phasing and timelines.
- More accurate budgeting and cost estimating, ensuring the project is constructed with the least variations/clashes as possible.
- Fully clash detected models that reduce RFIs requesting data on object location, with an emphasis on clash avoidance.
- Utilize 3D models for reporting, review, and decision making.
- Ensure that there is coordinated, quality design documentation to estimate the build cost.
- Ensure that the constructibility and methodology of the design have been assessed before documents are issued for construction.
