TOP BENEFITS OF BIM FOR ARCHITECTS
BIM
has shown how architects can design modern architecture. The benefits or
opportunities are visible for every team member who is involved in the design
phase. Within this blog, we will see the benefits or opportunities of using BIM
for architects.
Quicker turnaround
times with 3D models or rendering
Construction
has become more advanced than ever. It has given architects or architecture the
potential to create 3D models at highly reduced timescales. Architects do not
have to rely on 2D lines, they can leverage the potential and opportunities of
Building Information Modeling (BIM) using real-world 3D objects like walls,
doors, etc. that create sections, elevation, and a major part of your design
process. When a door is placed in 3D, you place an element that appears in
sections with accurate elevations and views with pre-defined parameters. This
saves on time and budget for clients as 3D models are built quickly.
Design retention
makes it easier for stakeholders to monitor the project
For
projects to be successful, BIM has to be implemented from the design stage so
that project stakeholders can manage the process to make sure there are no
errors or challenges that can take the project down significantly in terms of
cost and budget. Using BIM software and processes makes sure the design is
interpreted correctly, Navisworks as a secondary model checking tool can be
used to review the model in its very early stages.
Collaboration is key
for project owners to understand the actual design
BIM
has the potential to communicate strongly in terms of design intent. It can be
interactive and insightful for project owners to visualize project architecture
in a 3D environment using VR/AR technology with the help of photo-realistic 3D
renders. Architects do not have to work on different presentations, it’s one
model, and a single presentation based on it.
Complete &
perpetual coordination makes the design efficient and sustainable.
The
design team works in a collaborative environment, wherein it is accessed,
analyzed, and edited based on a collaborative effort from various stakeholders.
Exhaustive error
reduction for high-end QA/QC
With
substantial error reduction based on clash detection, costing, time scheduling,
etc. BIM helps architects, designers, engineers, GC’s, and owners rely on
crucial information that can be tracked and monitored much faster based on
compartmentalization. With BIM, filtering becomes very easy wherein you can
view specific objects, spaces, or sections based on the applied filters. It
allows users to scan drawings, show objects like doors with certain
specifications or material, acoustic rating, protection, insulation, etc.
The adoption of BIM
brings in lesser RFI’s saving on time and budget
Architects
can reduce Request-For-Information (RFI’s) based on clear and transparent
design. During project modeling, if ambiguities or gaps are seen in the design,
it is very easy to identify and extract information from the model itself. If
the model is given to contractors or clients, even they can extract the
information out themselves.
Using BIM to build
holistic designs
BIM
helps stakeholders with holistic designing wherein greater emphasis is given on
aesthetics, material design, project access, phasing, and maintenance. This
allows architects to build better products or deliverables to maintain a
leading-edge across the country.
Details with BIM are
phenomenal.
The
details in BIM are 2D, but models are created in 3D, which can be used to
underlay the 3D to build the detailing part. Once the detail is done, it can be
constantly checked against the 3D design to keep track of the design process.
This allows for great collaboration between the production and concept team.
