Real-life examples of BIM estimating services:
BIM (Building Information Modeling) estimating services have been a real game-changer for construction, bringing in various benefits like increased accuracy, productivity, and teamwork. Here are some real-life BIM examples of how BIM estimating services have been successfully utilized:
Improved Cost Accuracy
When BIM estimation was adopted by a high-rise building project in the trail, it allowed for complex 3D modeling of the whole building. These data could be input into the project team's BIM estimating software to map and trace BIM cost per square foot at each stage of the design process. Hence, these techniques proved to be accurate budget forecasting by reducing the chances of cost overruns.
Streamlined Coordination
Another case was a big infrastructure project that utilized BIM-based estimating services to coordinate among multiple partners. By centralizing all project data within the BIM model, such as cost estimates, schedules, and design changes, the team could act with the guarantee that all participants would need the same information. It ensured a timely distribution and the elimination of errors otherwise, and as a result, our projects were seamlessly executed.
Early Clash Detection
BIM estimation services played a major role during the construction of a complex commercial development as they detected many clashes between the different building systems at early stages. The team could achieve impressive cost data integration into the BIM model, which would mean unveiling clashes between structural elements, MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) systems, and architectural features. Securing cracks and discrepancies on time resulted in economic efficiency because there was no need for rework or further delay.
Value Engineering Opportunities
Effective tools for renovating historic buildings, such as BIM estimation services, allowed the project team to study functionality and cost reduction. By evaluating material expenses for each design option afloat on the BIM model, they could establish areas for saving cost, including the alternatives of material, construction methods, and space arrangement, without compromising the project's timeline and funds.
Enhanced Client Collaboration
When we work on a residential development project, we use BIM estimating services to boost our client collaboration. The BIM would enable the accomplishment of such a goal by showing the cost data in the design, thus directly communicating the financial implications of design decisions, on which the client can make informed decisions (aligned with their budgetary goals).
Sports Stadium Construction
While building a new sports community center, BIM estimating services allowed for managing the complicated project while keeping costs down. Similarly to the virtual model, which includes the stadium design and simulation of construction sequences, the project managers can detect clashes and determine the best scheduling option to avoid delays and cost overruns. It initiated timely work and satisfied the order of the clients.
Residential Housing Development
As residential housing development was built employing BIM, there was an attempt to use standardized construction processes and increase cost types' credibility on multiple units. The BIM model can contain a library of pre-designed components and assemblies. The development operation can be significantly accelerated by utilizing streamlined procurement and construction processes. Cost predictability has increased by using the working method, while profitability has also been enhanced strictly in terms of quality standards.
