BIM - BUILDING INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
Solving tomorrow's building construction and environmental challenges today.
BIM for Construction Design and Management
The management of information is a key factor for every successful project, this is particularly apt for construction project management where the number of systems and trades involved can cause unwanted delays and additional costs. Kelcroft BIM adds value to every project.
The co-ordination of building services using only 2D combined
service
drawings is not ideal, BIM fills that information gap helping to avoid
missed data on of the primary causes for costly
site variations, rework, and delays.
What is particularly significant about
the use of Building
Information Modelling
(BIM) which is an award-winning virtual 3D building lifecycle
technology tool, it helps eliminate waste and pollution and aids energy
efficient design. For example, the use of 3D design software
to
calculate precise quantities of construction material allowed the team
to "design out" 15-20% of construction waste before
construction commencement, which affords upto
10% savings on the construction cost.
It combines the entire traditional 2D paper
system into one 3D building
information model. This facilitates exchange and detailed co-ordination
between members of the design and construction teams, which leads to
reduced costs and construction time and increased efficiency throughout
the design, construction and facilities management processes.
BIM Building Operation
Another key advantage - your facilities staff can join the
review and explore the entire building inside the 3D model
before any piece of pipe is laid. Identifying
potential maintenance problems in advance means that system design can
be adjusted and refined, digitally on the computer before the
concrete is
poured.
BIM Training
Get your staff trained today - BIM is
becoming the standard, for all major construction projects across Asia.
Training
by a BIM professional with real-life BIM project experience is the
answer.
Generating models using the software provided templates is not going to help real-life site and management problems, you need to know how BIM works on site. You need to know how to manage different trades? Who will responsible to update and distribute the latest version of the model? These and many more questions are answered by experts.
