The Benefits of Building Information Management on the AEC Industry

The world of building and design has changed substantially in response to advancing technologies and building information management (BIM) modelling is one of the most significant improvements to come from this. Architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) groups have so much to gain from these systems, which is why most companies are already looking for BIM solutions to meet their needs. In this article, we will explore how these models can improve businesses in these industries.

Models as a Communication Medium

BIM modelling often focuses on creating 2D and 3D displays for projects, and these models aren’t just excellent because they look nice. AEC industry professionals can use these models as a precise, active communication tool to help share information with team members and stakeholders conveniently.

 

Modelling can be used to demonstrate exactly what a final design should look like for a build team—and that isn’t all that it can offer. These models can demonstrate where companies are at throughout the various build and design stages. Using models, companies can present the entire build process to provide a better understanding to stakeholders, homeowners, and investors alike.

Accuracy You Can Trust

Previously, AEC companies were forced to rely on artistic renderings of their projects to create understanding and buy-in for a design. While these renderings were reasonably accurate, BIM models can provide 99% accuracy, offering companies the chance to comfortably say that what their audience sees is what they will receive. This can help ensure that property owners always receive exactly what they expect during the final product. 

Improved Documentation

When companies in these industries get to work, they know that it comes with a large amount of paperwork. It is essential for the people working on the projects, but it is also important from a compliance perspective. Clear documentation must be provided to ensure that the appropriate steps are being taken. BIM systems can help with this.

 

When these systems generate these incredible designs, they can also provide highly detailed documentation that can be used to create a clearer understanding of the project as a whole. With this approach, companies can say goodbye to messy files—and hello to clear and concise documentation that always hits the mark.
