A Highly Visual Presentation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) Outsourcing Services - Benefits, Objectives and Virtual Construction Process.

2. Agenda
1. About BIM
2. Objectives BIM
3. Virtual Construction Process
4. BIM Benefits
5. Conclusion

3. What Is BIM and Why It’s Important
BIM is to CAD…
 …as CAD was to manual drafting with ink
and paper

4. Objective BIM (for Construction Companies)
1. Constructability Analysis
-through virtual construction & BIM modeling
2. Coordination of building components
-through clash detection and virtual coordination
3. Extraction of quantities
-using BIM model components
4. Construction sequence simulation
-linking construction schedule with model components

7. BIM Benefits
Visualization in real time
 Visualize the project in 3D
 Intelligent virtual model for real time viewing
 Virtual project reviews
 Effective decision making
 Better control on the project

8. BIM Benefits
Virtual Trade Coordination
 Identify error/omission within same discipline
 Detect cross-disciplinary clashes
 Resolve clashes within virtual coordination environment
 Ensure coordinated project information

9. BIM Benefits
Pre-construction analysis
 Construction scheduling
 Construction sequence simulation
 Stage-wise quantities, costing and budgeting
 Sub-contracting through virtual models- Scope & cost
 Value-engineer the project (Cost vs Time)

10. Conclusion
 BIM technology rather process has evolved to a
altogether different level of information enabling creation
of digital virtual building that can be used to determine
logistical planning and quantities as well as for cross
disciplinary coordination.
