What is BIM ?
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the creation
and use of coordinated 3D model, via link to intelligent
database for a building project. BIM enables seamless
collaboration between Architects, Engineers,
Contractors and Sub-contractors enabling quick design
decision making, production of accurate construction
documents and construction planning.
Benefits of BIM
1. Improve coordination between Architects, Engineers, Contractor and
Sub-contractors enabling quick
decision making.
2. Check completeness of drawings before starting construction eliminating
the subsequent Request for
Information ( RFI ) and delays.
3. Coordination and Interference checks between Architectural, Structural,
MEP , Fire fighting and other
services.
4. Production of accurate construction documents and shop drawings enabling
the use of Pre-Fabricated
material , thus improving quality and reducing costs and time.
5. Accurate Quantity-take off reducing wastages.
6. Construction scheduling and monitoring of the project.
