BIM A+’s Post

In 2004, Patrick MacLeamy drew some very simple yet genius curves: the further a project progresses, the harder and more expensive it becomes to make changes. The idea behind this curve is that by using BIM systems and integrated planning, we focus design efforts in the early stages when changes are cheaper and have less impact on costs. In short: making a change on the computer early on is a million times more cost-effective than making it on-site! Do you apply this concept in your work? Share your experience!

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has revolutionized the construction industry 🏗️, offering a dynamic platform for planning, design, construction, and management of buildings. However, the effectiveness of BIM depends largely on the skills and knowledge of the team members involved.

A palavra-chave do BIM é PLANEJAMENTO. The key word for BIM is Planning.

One of the greatest strengths of Building Information Modeling (BIM) is its ability to reduce risks in construction projects. By using BIM to detect and resolve clashes between different building systems during the design phase, you can avoid costly changes and delays during construction. Our course, 'Introduction to the BIM Environment,' covers how BIM’s clash detection and error reduction capabilities can save time, money, and resources, leading to smoother, more successful project execution. If you’re not yet using BIM to manage risks, now is the time to protect your projects from costly errors. https://lnkd.in/dyQi3NHk Reduce risks and improve outcomes—learn BIM today! #BIM #RiskManagement #ClashDetection #ConstructionSuccess

This is a great way to look at a BEP. Also gives a objective level viewpoint of what a BEP is meant to accomplish.

With regard to model ‘coordination’, clash detection is something that software can easily do, so it has occupied almost all of the tech discourse about model coordination for 20 years despite the fact that clash detection represents at best 5% of the technique required to produce and coordinate high quality models. A much larger fraction of the work necessary for quality modeling is handled by technical drawing. Not their partial or even total automation, but rather the act of LOOKING at them, and what follows from that. The people who do this work rarely put into words what they’re doing. Instead they just do it. They tend to have little interest in anything outside of just doing it. I’ve tried to capture what it is that they do, in words, here: https://lnkd.in/dBXniCHF

Just finished the course “Creating a BIM Execution Plan” by Brian Myers!  This is a short course but could offer extra valuable insights that will enhance my work on professional projects and even my final BEP & EIR deliverables in my master's program. Excited to apply these learnings in future endeavors! 🚀 #BIM #BEP #ProfessionalGrowth #Zigurat #LifelongLearning

I spent a long time without a BIM team. A team where all disciplines were on the same page. Eventually, I decided not to collaborate with consultants with no BIM integration. Redoing projects is time-consuming, and I wasn't willing to take it anymore. Many people with vast experience in the field are not willing to match it with a BIM approach. A BIM-oriented practice can reduce the burden. And create a team that pushes the boundaries of construction. Gathering a BIM team requires determination and learning to say no to those not aligned. Sometimes it might be rude, but you don't want to feel the pain from disconnected information. When experience meets technology, you are on the other side.

BIM is more than just a digital tool; it's a transformative process that reshapes our built environment. Here's a glimpse into the reality behind its effective implementation: 1. Bridging Digital and Physical: Transitioning from digital models to tangible structures requires strong team collaboration. 2. Embracing Imperfection: Real-world conditions never perfectly align with our models, teaching us adaptability and resilience. 3. Learning to Communicate: Successful BIM integration hinges on clear communication—between architects, engineers, and construction teams. Through my journey, I've learned the importance of flexibility in the face of unexpected challenges. 👇 What lessons have you learned while implementing BIM in your projects?
