BIM theory & practice
Description
BIM (Building Information Model) is an important development with enormous potential for improving the construction process, reducing failure costs and improving the acquisition of information about a structure. At the current state of the art, much is already possible to realise significant process improvements.
BIM is not a software package or a standardised working method, but a tool to realise project goals. A basic goal is to realise a spatially coordinated design in which the information required for this is brought together in a model database. This provides added value in the construction process by improving quality and coordination between different construction components compared to a traditional process. A better design leads to shorter lead times and an improved price-quality ratio. The available information, provided it is well structured, can also be used as a basis for additional purposes. Think of energy analyses, construction cost analyses, providing facility management information, etc. Working methods and tools are developing at a rapid pace, but the added value of some solutions is not (yet) commensurate with the required investments.
In a presentation, ABT and Heijmans will outline how they see the theory and show how they deal with BIM in practice.
