<h1>Eliminate Functional Conflicts with Building Information Modeling</h1><strong> Author: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/profile_Yonsal & Sanoy.aspx'>Yonsal & Sanoy</a></strong><br /><p>According to an article published by SparPointGroup, a renowned industry resource, on March 24, 2011, Intel is using Building Information Modeling (BIM) to build its new facility in Oregon. Introduced in late 1970s, BIM technology has seen several early adapters, such as Disney and GSA (US General Services Administration). With Intel adding to the list, BIM services are expected to attract more adopters. Adding value to every stage of construction project management, BIM services are expected to bring a paradigm shift in the real estate sector. Building Information Modeling: Uses One Map to Show Architectural, Structural and MEP Designs A good building is built even before a brick is laid. It is built in the minds of those who design it. However, as the buildings have become complex, so is the designing task. Problem arises when there are multiple teams designing different aspects of a building. Typically a structural engineer, an architect and an MEP consultant will prepare designs to reflect specific requirements for their functions. Traditionally, it will be a daunting task to collate these different designs. Building Information Modeling makes this process more intuitive. BIM services allow different teams to feed specific designs into a central database. Through BIM software all the designs are collated automatically to prepare an interactive final draft. You can interact with the final draft to view details of different sections. For example, if you wish to view detailed information of the basement. You can select the basement section and the interface will display costs, schedules, MEP plan and maintenance programs for the section. Building Information Modeling: Auto-implement Modifications Building Information Modeling treats the building as a cohesive whole. So when you change any aspect of the functional design, it automatically measures the effect on other aspects of the design. This feature saves significant amount of time and reduces the probability of sync errors. Building Information Modeling: Conflict Resolution Contradicting designs have been the major reason behind cost overruns in the past. Traditionally, different teams tend to work in silos. This used to cause information lag, conflicting designs and high turnaround time. By consolidating the project management environment, BIM services prevent potential losses due to design conflicts. The technology send automated notifications if a conflict is detected. Building Information Modeling is comprehensive tool that simplifies every stage of a construction project. It recognizes that discrepancies arise because different people are working on the same project and their tasks are interrelated. Only real time communication can help manage such tasks and that’s exactly what BIM services provide. For more information on BIM services, visit www.bimhub.com.
