BIM software is undoubtedly a boon. What BIM brings is a complete metamorphosis by helping a construction project move from the design desks to physical reality. Building information modeling heavily cuts down the cross referencing and approval time during the project’s construction phase. It leads to greater improvements in productivity and quality of work. Increased productivity reduces the overall project construction time and costs. Some of the important features of BIM include,

1.BIM decreases Reworks

Vague information between designers and executioners, or lack of updates in design information may lead to major reworks which may heavily affect the company’s finances. Any updates or changes made are instantly replicated leading to uniformity of information and work which leads to zero construction errors.

2. Provides Related Documents

Though infrastructural designs are substantiated with scores of design documents like 2D or 3D drawings; they lack other important information like contract agreement details, bids, bills of purchase, building and government specifications, schedules, etc. This is where BIM services come in, and fill up all the information holes to bring an overall coordination. BIM also significantly improves over 2D drafting giving an all angle view of the building and elevation, which helps in rectifying errors beforehand

3. Gives Complete Project Snapshot

Unlike the general practice where one department isn’t fully aware or informed about other department in the overall project, building information management services give stakeholders, engineers, designers, managers, etc., an overall view of the entire project. This provides people associated with the project with reliable information that is easily available and track project assessment, communication, coordination, cost estimations, and progress.

4. Improves Coordination

With BIM, one department can work coherently with the other by indexing their work in centrally located BIM data. This improves coordination, and provides a great work environment.
