Why should I adopt BIM?

​

​

1. Via a rapid exchange of design information, different scenarios can be explored faster, allowing for more iterations of the architecture, structure and engineering systems and resulting in an accurate and optimised building design.

2. All drawings can be captured into one comprehensive 3D model, avoiding information loss and enabling more educated decisions based on data.

3. Necessary engineering calculations for ventilation, heating and piping systems can be performed quickly and easily.

4. All geometric and spatial data required to perform energy calculations can be produced directly from the model.

5. Ensuring compliance with environmental requirements is easier and the increased efficiency helps reduce building lifecycle costs.

6. Integration of cost and scheduling data enables online cost estimation and visualisation of the construction progression.

7. Accurate Bills of Quantities can be produced directly from the model.

8. Data required to control procurement can be linked directly from the model, optimising the procurement process.

9. Detailed model contains all data and geometry required for accurate installation of MEP systems.

10. Once the building is completed, the next version of the model will inform facilities management decision-making and systems, allowing for preventative maintenance and repair.
