BIM (Building Information Modeling)
helps to review a construction
plan, identifying constructability
issues during the pre-construction
stage. BIM implementation detects potential
obstacles and design flaws that might result
in cost overruns and rework. The evaluation
of the entire project process is made through
BIM before construction. The whole project
analysis can be made from concept design
through as built, identifying issues that may
be encountered due to design incompatibility,
space conflict, circulation, logistics and
more. Revisions and design update can also
be tracked during design development of a
project. Moreover, BIM helps to improve the
site process.
