How Building Information Modeling Can Transform a Design Project

Share This...

business information modelingMany times in business and in life, the process is just as important as the end result: the destination as vital as the journey; the effort as integral as the outcome. If you’re a believer in doing things the right way, then know that office design projects are no exception to that rule. And with Building Information Modeling (BIM), businesses of all sizes can now renovate and redesign their offices with greater confidence, time-efficiency, and cost-savings opportunities than ever before. Don’t know how building information modeling works? Then don’t worry –– we’ll explain everything you need to know here:

What is BIM?

In simple terms, BIM is a process that allows architects and designers the ability to create comprehensive 3D models of entire building projects. Essentially, BIM software is the natural evolution in architectural design technology. Through the BIM process, architects can utilize 3D files that hold significantly more information than their CAD counterparts, and create 3D models of all aspects of a building redesign or renovation.

Why Use BIM?

Say one design team uses BIM methods to construct an office and another team uses more traditional methods to tackle the same project. Let’s also say that regardless of the technology they used, they both managed to arrive at identical final products. Why should your company value BIM, then? Several reasons. First, BIM saves architects and design teams lots of time. Because they can access and interact with 3D files, architects can come up with design concepts quicker and address issues in the construction process –– before they arise. So you can wave goodbye to excruciating delays due to unforeseen building issues. Secondly, BIM methodology helps companies save money. This shouldn’t come as a surprise, though. Since BIM technology enables designers more advanced means to develop plans and models, the implementation of those designs are going to be much smoother and much more cost-effective than if they were built through other means. Again, BIM helps designers avoid the mishaps that can extend deadlines and force projects over budget. Lastly, BIM models are simply more sophisticated and advanced than competitive alternatives. This means that architects using them can be more creative and confident in their work. And what business owner wouldn’t want the team renovating their company to be as confident and creative as possible?

What Does BIM Mean for My Project?

In short, when a design team utilizes BIM technology on your office renovation or redesign, you can rest easy knowing you’ll be able to avoid the pitfalls that so often plague office design projects. In this way, you can minimize the impact construction has on your business, and start enjoying your dream offices sooner rather than later!
