The value of BIM for owners
focuses on their perspective to adopt Building
Information Modeling for various
projects. The level of engagement and involvement owners have with BIM is
increasing by the day. With various services that BIM firms have to offer in
terms of BIM Modeling, BIM for design, BIM for construction, BIM
Facility Management, and Scan to BIM, it is quite obvious that the
adoption of BIM will deliver exceptional results for owners.
Owners have or can leverage the
greatest benefits of BIM Modeling or the complete BIM process. It has huge benefits in
the long-run wherein it can constantly help owners garner higher Return on
Investment (ROI), on-time project delivery, higher savings, less waste, fewer
RFI’s, enhanced on-site safety, and more.
BIM modeling firms can generate
greater positives through enhanced visualization, enhanced visualization,
client engagement, design solutions and more. Two
of the most important aspects of Building Information Modeling would be 3D BIM spatial coordination and digital
fabrication or prefabrication. These two components are key to delivering
excellent project outcomes within budget and time. These outcomes can be
stretched or even taken to 7D and 8D BIM that relates to facility management
and decommissioning as well.
The present scenario looks at
owners being directly involved in the complete BIM process; this makes them
understand the nuances of this technology and the requirements that are
required to generate high-quality deliverables and positive outcomes. Building
Information Modeling uses specific
goals to achieve project results, and aligns every stakeholder on the same
platform to leverage the value of BIM for every trade.
More than 80% BIM users have
reported positive values from their use of Building Information Modeling. Owners
from various corners of the globe are starting to visualize the full power of
BIM implementation. Some are still wondering on what the actual ROI is when BIM
is implemented.
The adoption of BIM improves
their overall process and the project outcomes through time and cost
forecasting. BIM modeling firms can better visualize the entire project behind the desk and win
more bids. 2019 has seen a great upsurge in the use of Building Information
Modeling for transportation projects or infrastructure. According to Dodge
Data and Analytics, BIM will be adopted on more than 60% of the transportation
infrastructure by countries like US, UK, France and Germany.
Top business benefits of BIM include a capacity for firms to do better and deliver
better through improved collaboration, talent retention, skill upgrades, faster
designing, and the ability to offer services and win more projects as well.
Top ways BIM improves
project outcomes for business owners
One of the topmost benefits of
using BIM as a process would be the reduction of rework, reduced conflicts,
reduced coordination problems, errors, etc.
Another benefit would be high
predictability of cost and understanding the project better through
multi-disciplinary communication and collaboration through high-quality 3D
visualizations, scheduling, and cost-estimations. Reduced rework brings down
the cost of the project through better understanding and execution.
Again, design optimization
plays an important role in the overall success rate of the project. This, in
turn improves schedule performance for projects as they grow.
Final Words
Few recommendations and
observations that are required to help owners implement Building Information
Modeling on their projects would be –
§ actively adopting
BIM
§
use BIM planning
regardless of any delivery method
§
stay committed as
it increases BIM benefits
§
§
identify
organizational goals, and more
