BIM Services (Building Information Modeling)

PRLog (Press Release) - Jun 30, 2009 -
Considering the advantage that BIM offers, the rate of $15 USD/hr is a very good offer that only few can resist. Advenser offers panoply of BIM services to match the requirement of the clients.

A BIM (Building Information Modeling) is the creation of parametric, or intelligent, 3D models instead of 2D perspective ‘un-intelligent’ drawings. A BIM operates on a digital database and any change made to this database is reflected throughout the entire drawing. This allows everyone involved in the building lifecycle – architects, engineers, contractors, developers, and building owners - to sync together allowing them to view the model in different ways and seamlessly share information.

BIM can greatly decrease errors made by design team members as well as the construction team (Contractors and Subcontractors) by allowing the use of conflict detection where the computer actually informs team members about parts of the building in conflict or clashing, and through detailed computer visualization of each part in relation to the total building. As computers and software become more capable of handling more building information, this will become even more pronounced than it is in current design and construction projects. This error reduction is a great part of cost savings realized by all members of a project. Reduction in time required to complete construction directly contributes to the cost savings numbers as well. It's important to realize that this decrease can only be accomplished if the models are sufficiently developed in the Design Development phase.

Although there are many difficulties, two of the main hurdles in adopting BIM technology are training and costs.

• Training: Receiving adequate training is the greatest challenge to adopting BIM. This could be particularly difficult because only a limited number of users might be having an expert background that could be used as a training resource.

• Costs: Cost of software and required hardware upgrades also form significant hurdles in the adoption of BIM technology.

Considering the advantages of adopting BIM technology, handling the work in-house would most probably nullify the advantages due to the involvement of training time & costs, hardware upgrade costs, software costs, etc.

Hence, BIM adopters are finding outsourcing BIM work, to companies like Advenser, more advantageous than handling the work in-house.

Advantages of using Advenser to provide BIM services are that it can:
• Save you time
• Save you money
• Help you share risk
• Help accommodate peak loads
