With the future of construction and infrastructure driven by digitalisation and its progression accelerated due to COVID-19, Building Information Modelling (BIM) adoption is gathering pace throughout the industry within both private and public sectors. The UK Government set targets to save 15-20% on the costs of infrastructure and capital projects by 2015, aiming to change how buildings are designed and delivered.Why is BIM the future?
The ability of BIM to enable greater collaboration and transparency to all stakeholders, from concept through design to procurement, processes and materials throughout the supply chain and moving into future building management, will ensure a strong future for BIM services. A drive by companies such as The CAD Room, providing specialist BIM outsourcing partnerships to the building services industry, will enhance the capability of BIM services even further.
Outsourcing BIM services provides solutions for companies to access support from the beginning - the first simple sketches to the delivery and handover of the completed project. When your business is too busy to handle workflows at peak times, or you don't have the in-house expertise or budget to create a BIM project, working with a BIM services expert is a cost-effective way to move forward.
Widening the use of BIM
There is a commitment from the UK BIM Alliance, the British Standards Institution and the Centre of Digital Built Britain to work together to widen the use of BIM to transform and improve the UK's built environment through digital transformation.
BIM uses advanced computer technologies to create and build 3D modelling of an asset. The information element of BIM is a valuable asset for the building's life cycle and ongoing management. BIM's multi-dimensional aspects can add value to a project with extra data dimensions linked to the model. The future of building the best possible buildings requires a collaborative approach, with intelligent information available in real-time to project stakeholders. The collaboration between the UK BIM Alliance, the BSI and the Centre of Digital Built Britain embodies what BIM delivers -a holistic approach.
BIM services are continually driven towards a future where buildings and infrastructure are constructed in the most suitable locations, on budget and on time, with reduced issues and better regard for the environmental impact of project delivery and timeline control.
BIM 3D graphics enable better placement of the building, as 3D renders or walkthroughs can show the position of the structure relative to its surroundings, which allows the best placement of the building to be established before the ground is broken.
BIM - The future for better buildings
The future of BIM will see reduced waste and greater use of modular building components to reduce the impact on the environment and neighbourhoods through a reduction in site activity and traffic. This goal cannot be underestimated; sustainable buildings will bring us closer to our greener city goals.
In addition, the ability to assess the benefits of materials and products used in the project at a virtual level will reduce costs and improve structures and help reduce the impact of supply chain issues and project conflicts. As has been widely reported, these issues currently cause delays and budgeting issues which see many building projects failing to deliver what is expected.
The UK has been seen as a leader in the field of BIM adoption and the advancement of BIM levels, and its capabilities must continue to ensure both the UK and the rest of the world exploit its many existing benefits and its potential for even more significant contribution to building better buildings through the digital transformation and BIM.
