Ways To Choose the<br />
Right <strong>BIM</strong> Partner
Overview:<br />
<br />
<strong>BIM</strong> plays a vital role in building design and construction planning for construction<br />
firms and contrac<strong>to</strong>rs. Revit Software is getting widely accepted, and government<br />
mandating <strong>BIM</strong> adoption in construction projects is successfully implementing it.<br />
<br />
And those who are not implementing <strong>BIM</strong> are facing issues in commencing their<br />
construction works, and at the end, they need <strong>to</strong> outsource it <strong>to</strong> <strong>BIM</strong> Service<br />
Provider Companies along with it comes <strong>to</strong> a rise in fraudulent of <strong>BIM</strong> <strong>partner</strong>s.<br />
<br />
There is enormous demand for <strong>BIM</strong> Modeling Services Providers, but still, there<br />
are shortages of less qualified <strong>BIM</strong> resources. But by selecting the wrong <strong>BIM</strong><br />
<strong>partner</strong>, you end up in huge cost incurred on projects, delay in the project and low<br />
accuracy in project detailing.
Ways or Aspects <strong>to</strong> find the <strong>right</strong> <strong>BIM</strong><br />
<strong>partner</strong><br />
Let’s take a glance at criteria for selecting the<br />
<strong>right</strong> <strong>BIM</strong> <strong>partner</strong>:
Experience:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It is easy <strong>to</strong> find companies claiming <strong>to</strong> me leading <strong>BIM</strong> <strong>partner</strong>s, but it is essential for any<br />
construction professionals such as contrac<strong>to</strong>rs, architectural consultant or MEP contrac<strong>to</strong>r <strong>to</strong><br />
check credentials of the organization.<br />
Just as we check employee background with past organization, we must also have a<br />
background check for the <strong>BIM</strong> professionals we are approaching for our projects.<br />
Check the online market presence of the organization <strong>to</strong> know how reliable the professional<br />
can be. By checking experience, you will know whether the company falls in your scope of<br />
work.<br />
Moni<strong>to</strong>ring on methodology or project execution of their work can help in achieving accurate<br />
requirements that you are looking for in your project.
Integrity and Honesty of<br />
Companies Work:<br />
<br />
Checking on project portfolio of the company you are approaching is a<br />
must <strong>to</strong> know what type of services they have dealt with, how technocrat<br />
their project implementation has been and what best they can provide you.<br />
<br />
Anyone can know how accurate and detailing would they provide <strong>to</strong> you<br />
and you will know that the company you are going <strong>to</strong> hire is the <strong>right</strong> option<br />
for you or not.
Reference Checks:<br />
<br />
Most authentic way <strong>to</strong> find out whether the <strong>BIM</strong> Company, you possess<br />
<strong>to</strong> outsource your work is by conducting reference checks from its past<br />
and current clients as this can be real-time feedback.<br />
<br />
From this, you can know how the company functions, executes its<br />
work, deliverables, strict on timelines and provides correct quality or<br />
not.
Low-Cost Offering is not<br />
al<strong>ways</strong> the Best option:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Companies often provide lower prices <strong>to</strong> fetch more clients but do not adopt<br />
for it as you might not know how effective their project can tend <strong>to</strong> be.<br />
If they do not provide timely delivery and high quality of the project, it can<br />
affect the cost of the project directly.<br />
So ideally before selecting the <strong>right</strong> <strong>BIM</strong> <strong>partner</strong>, you must look upon<br />
delivery time, quality and skills of the <strong>BIM</strong> <strong>partner</strong> rather than focusing on<br />
cost.
No freelancers:<br />
<br />
Never outsource your project <strong>to</strong> freelancers as there are a group of people<br />
working on multiple projects without any setup.<br />
<br />
Your companies’ data might get leaked <strong>to</strong> other construction company they<br />
might work for in the future.<br />
<br />
Best results would not get achieved from them as things might get critical<br />
on-site and they won’t have any knowledge on how <strong>to</strong> resolve it.
Conclusion<br />
Before outsourcing or hiring any <strong>BIM</strong> outsourcing companies ,<br />
evaluate all the parameters discussed above. This will help you in<br />
making effective decisions.<br />
<br />
An optimal solution for speeding up the construction work must be<br />
attained by the <strong>BIM</strong> Company you <strong>choose</strong> and must provide effective<br />
cost with high quality and accuracy.
