Building information modeling (BIM) has become a mainstay for architecture, engineering, and construction. The developments of values and the adoption of BIM have assisted the construction industry to reach the next level. The process involves planning, designing, building, and managing building and infrastructure. The industries are strengthening their construction strategies, accelerating their tasks, and obtaining more data with BIM technology. One of the most convincing reasons that stimulated the industries to adopt BIM technology is the intrinsic advantage of 3D representation for the designing and preparation phase of the documentations, as it ensures the team with a greater understanding, visualization, and resolution of the issues during the whole process. At the same time, BIM technology has revolutionized the traditional methods by assisting the industries with faster development, improved complexity, better sustainability, and reduced building costs.
There are a number of perks that have further inspired the market to implement BIM technology for construction projects. The most basic aspect in BIM models is that it enables sharing, collaboration, and versioning, unlike paper drawings. Along with this, advanced BIM apps also offer the team to review the models along with getting proper information and updates based on the projects. BIM also benefits from better coordination trades and subcontractors, detecting issues with mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and other internal or external clashes before construction begins. Moreover, it has strengthened the productivity and prefabrication tasks, which, in turn, has minimized waste, augmented efficiency, and decreased labor and material costs.
