BIM technology
The construction industry faces many challenges and risks during the various stages of project execution when using different technologies and executive and administrative tools. However, with the emergence of BIM technology and its great features and benefits, the quality and efficiency of work have been improved, ensuring the achievement of project goals and success with ease.
The precision of BIM technology in analysis and planning has helped solve many problems and reduce a significant percentage of potential risks, including:
- BIM technology contributes to providing a schedule for each project based on plans and start and end dates for each stage of different project executions.
- Accurately determining all costs related to each project BIM technology integrates its model with construction management software such as the planradar platform, which accurately determines the time required for each planning and construction step.
- Assigning tasks to the contractors responsible for the project
- Planning errors when using high-cost 2D and 3D drawings
- BIM technology has saved project costs by providing engineering plans drawings and information for each project through modern software and display models that have significantly helped clarify these details sufficiently to facilitate decision-making steps.
- Precision problems in calculating project costs
- After resorting to BIM technology and neglecting traditional management methods to determine project budgets, the reliance on advanced technological calculation operations through software methods has been adopted to accurately illustrate the costs early in the initial design phase and the actual costs needed to provide the quantities, sizes, and colors of the materials used during project execution stages.
- Organization problems in collecting and presenting project details information
- BIM software uses mobile phone applications or digital model tables sometimes to collect all project information in addition to facilitating its modification and updating when needed.
- Failure to provide safety procedures at construction sites
- At the start of the project, BIM models provide a significant amount of safety information at the construction site.
- BIM technology works to visualize and analyze the site and identify potential risks that workers may face physically to give time to consider necessary solutions to minimize the risks of injury.
