Bim Revolutionise Qs Profession

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:

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is an evolving collaborative digital approach in which complex of processes, technologies and procedures are set to create a platform to better manage and coordinate essential aspects in building projects using virtual design and construction methodologies, promoting better stakeholder collaboration from feasibility and conceptual design through maintenance to demolition and recycling.

In his paper, the author explains us how the technology advancement is taking place, how 2D modelling started initially, how it led to 3D modelling and now how building information modelling techniques are being linked to 3D modelling. BIM is not just about modelling, but it also includes project planning, design and construction. He clearly explains what BIM is in the form of a flow chart. Where he says that B in BIM stands for Residential, commercial, healthcare, institutional, sports and entertainment, I in BIM stands for Spatial, element, systems, quantities, schedule, operations and M in BIM stands for site, architectural, structural, MEP systems, sustainability and management. This all phases of the program are a continuous chain where programming, design, pre construction, construction, operations, and demolition are done. This research also supports that the concept of building information modelling is not only useful for the building’s geometric modelling, but also it can assist in the management of construction projects. In this research, the author has collected information from 35 construction projects that have already utilized BIM. The most common result that was observed was the cost reduction. For some people, BIM is a software application, where as for others, it is a process for designing and documenting

The aim of this Literature Review is to gain an understanding of what Building Information Modelling (BIM) is, what SMEs are, establish the importance of BIM, why BIM should be implemented and to explore the key issues associated with the adoption and implementation of BIM by SMEs in a live construction environment.

The current state consists of fragmented processes, which is the source of all productivity issues and inefficiency in the construction industry. The future state should be “project focused” rather than “process focused”. To achieve this desired future state it is essential that these processes are transformed to a more integrated approach. There should be better collaboration between the different stakeholders in the industry such as architects, builders, owners and regulatory agencies that issues permits. In the current, traditional system of project delivery, the relationship between these involved parties are adversarial. This can lead to the project being marred with schedule delays, budget overruns, poor quality, and disputes and litigations between the parties involved, as they play the “blame game” refusing to take liability or responsibility for the different processes. The desired future state can be reached through incorporating the more collaborative delivery methods that are gaining popularity, like Design Build and Integrated Project Delivery. These systems are based on information and risk sharing. IPD especially has a potential to incorporate Lean Construction practices and Target Value Design in the process. The alliance of the owner, builder, design professional and other specialty consultants for the project, can communicate effectively with each other on a common platform of knowledge sharing. Problems that may arise during construction or design

This report will focus on the technology Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the connections between ethics, environment and innovation. As part of the course TFL200 one of the main topics was to apply the philosophy of systems thinking in order to get a holistic overview of the topic. The concept of BIM has existed since the 1970s, but has just recently started to see an increase in use as better software becomes available and the value is recognized. As facilities become more complex, BIM-software assist with virtual construction prior to its actual physical construction, this aids in reducing uncertainty, improved safety, collision detection and problem solving as well as to simulate and analyze the construction. Compared to traditional methods of building design, there is considerable more useful information that can be put into a BIM-model. This leads to better quantities and shared properties of materials extraction, as well as waste minimization and prefabrication of products delivered just in time rather than being stockpiled on site.

The BIM has the capability which carry out the pricing and the quantity take-offs for the cost-estimation and this is possible because it identifies the real material used in the construction process.

Building information modelling (BIM) is a new technology that is undoubtedly reshaping the construction industry as we know it. BIM is designed to change the way in which we communicate.

Architecture refers to the production of objects, buildings, a task performed by the people. The most successful architecture goes beyond functions, enclosure, or rather a big envelope for living.”

It will be years before the majority of construction firms make such full use of BIM systems. In the meantime professional team members, contractors, and sub-contractors with design responsibility will find themselves at different stages of BIM preparedness. There

The construction market place is up and has dominated the world with attractive structures, innovative construction and methods and better architectural models as more and more construction projects are getting smarter. The rapid development of emerging construction opportunities with high tech machinery and equipment can make high end structures much faster, with lower costs and better buildings and structures. With modern technology and construction trends to look forward to in the upcoming future, here are some innovative construction trends which would definitely shape and improve construction projects to make the industry and market place more competitive and dynamic.

The concept of architectural innovation was first proposed in this paper, where Henderson and Clark felt that the categorization of innovations as either incremental or radical was inadequate. They defined such innovation as:

Architectural design practice will be increasingly mediated by digital technology in the future. Digital fabrication technology allows architects to conceive designs both digitally and physically, and may empower them to take a more active role in the materialization and construction process.

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.

"Construction modeling is that extraordinary living inventive soul which from era to era, from age to age, returns, perseveres, makes, as indicated by the way of man, and his circumstances asthey change. That is truly architecture.".. Honest Lloyd Wright
