Bim Advantages And Disadvantages

Besides that, BI software plays an important role in SYSCO's service. It helps the company to examine customer's ordering pattern over time, hightlighting instances where a historically loyal customer is reducing its order volumes. The process helps the company to indicate the customers' satisfaction about SYSCO's service so that they know whether they are on the right track of serving their customers then they can adjust in order to provide a good service.

Construction management and business management share similarity elements of planning such as, goals, policies, rules and procedures. Nevertheless, they differ in the chart when the standard is the time. Planning for the construction management regard only to the period required to complete a construction project. However, business management planning can be divided into long-term planning and short-term which aims to give a clear picture of business for the future.

There are top 25 works can be done by BIM in Construction Industry and every BIM use has different frequency and benefit. The works done by using BIM in construction industry are as follows:

US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is part of the US federal government and the US military providing project management and construction management services for the US military. It has staff consists of more than 30,000 civilians and 600 soldiers. USACE is the world's largest public engineering, design and construction governing body. In October 2006, USACE issued a 15-year BIM roadmap plan for the adoption and implementation of BIM technology. In fact, before the release of the roadmap plan, USACE has already taken several steps leading the way to BIM. USACE's first BIM project is the design and management of Unaccompanied Enlisted Personnel Housing Project in Seattle using Bentley's BIM software. Then in November 2004, USACE implemented

(“Building Information Modeling”) BIM is digital, meaning it is able to be shared with all people working on the project so that it can be modified where it is needed. Along with being able to share, BIM is capable of showing how much pressure is applied to objects in the buildings. The materials these objects are made of can also be changed very easily with a few taps on a screen or clicks of a mouse. With all this in mind, where is building information technology going? Well, right now, it is going nowhere for a few reasons. People may take courses and tutorials in different programs, but in the end, it is still difficult to see errors. Most errors are able to blend in with the pieces that are in the correct place. The issue is that the computer isn’t aware. Computers are being given commands, they aren’t able to point out what is wrong because they don’t know. Another issue is that everyone working on a project using BIM must know what they are looking at and how to use the tools. Until these issues are resolved, BIM won’t be going into the future improved. (Azhar Salman, “Building Information Modeling (BIM): Benefits, Risks and

B.I.M stands for Building Information Modeling, intelligent model-based process that provides insight to help you plan, design, construct, and mange buildings and infrastructure. B.I.M changes how buildings, infrastructure, and utilities are planned, designed, built, and managed. Autodesk B.I.M solutions help turn information into insight and deliver business value at every step in the process. B.I.M incorporates major elements of estimating, cost and project management. As a result, the B.I.M computer model is a living representation of the actual structure at any given time. B.I.M is more than drawings- it is a date repository for building design, construction, and maintenance information combined in one convenient model to share. The benefits of B.I.M are that there are reduced changes during construction. Reduced conflicts during construction and improved construction. Improved collective understanding of design intent reduces claims, disputes, and conflicts. B.I.M provides the capability to design efficient “Green Buildings.” The future of B.I.M will only make B.I.M better, the Information of B.I.M will be utilized more, designers, constructors and building owners will leverage the information that is right in from of them to add value to the building they are producing. Room and furniture, fixture, and equipment validation between

so much demand, there is also a huge cost involved when implementing IT solutions to a

Even the media speaks of adopting level: 2 BIM, but nobody asks why it is already level: 2? The fact is, BIM has always been there in hand drawings and CAD 2D/3D managed environment. BIM is an already existing system, it has just been given a name now, and some necessary tweaking. Actually, this tweaking is what we thought is there, what we thought we were aware of, but we actually ignored. This “tweaking” is what makes BIM revolutionary.

Numbers of BIM research documents have been focusing on the advantages of the use of BIM but only a few underlined the importance of embedding BIM at an early stage of teaching the principles of the architectural and construction industry. Thus the direction I took, tend to focus on the importance of embedding BIM principles from the very beginning of teaching construction concepts.

Questions one through three, and question five deal with personal job satisfaction rather company satisfaction. Question four, however, should not be considered as part of the employee satisfaction survey due to the nature of the question. Let’s review the results of these questions.

Contractors want perfect models; what they want and what we are contracted to do are different

Chapter 2 provides a methodical review of relevant literature in the field of BIM, the perceived barriers with its adoption and implementation by SMEs and an analysis of the data found.

The future of our industry lies in how best we can integrate and communicate all our work with various stakeholders to manage a project efficiently. This has given rise to an area called construction informatics where a significant amount of research is being done. The area deals with a range of subjects from integration to interoperability and from knowledge mining to strategic management. This area came into existence from two fields. The first was the use of computers to design and carry out time and cost calculations. The other was for computers to categorize and store essential information. Currently, integration, interoperability, innovation along with strategic management of Information and Communication Technologies are the key areas of research of construction informatics (Isikdag 2009).

The industrial change in New Zealand and the effects of adopting BIM in the construction projects are explained by taking case studies. Comparison with the other countries who uses BIM with New Zealand is done to analyses the global changes. And the report is made with help and reference from many BIM surveys conducted.
