Virtual Building Logistics leveraging Building Information Modeling for GREEN Sustainability

Virtual Building Logistics (VBL) a Global leader in the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) Tools partners with Owners, Developers, and General Contractors to bring GREEN building ability to their construction projects World-Wide.
 
Dec. 12, 2008 - PRLog -- Virtual Building Logistics, a US based Building Information Modeling (BIM) firm, has positioned its self as a Global Leader in the field of BIM. The BIM Tool is the next step up from CAD (Computer Aided Design) or 3D Drafting.  BIM is a Multi-dimensional Accurate Intelligent Object or Smart Model developed from a 2 dimensional or paper drawing representation of a building or any construction project BIM then turns that drawing into a 3D parametric Intelligent Model. The term Intelligent or Smart Model is used because BIM builds into the model highly detailed information relating to every object required to construct the building or project, its build schedule (4D), and project cost (5D).  This intelligent information allows for a greater understanding of the project by all parties and greater communication throughout the project lifecycle.

Why The Use Of BIM:
BIM is the best source for dollar savings and GREEN building ability. VBL demonstrates these abilities through the collaboration with clash detection software (almost eliminating RFI’s, design conflicts, and Change Orders), and therefore accelerating project schedules.
Knowing your Building schedule allows your subcontractors to better understand there role in the project and increases there efficiency in collaboration. Better safety on the site is attained through this understanding also.
GREEN building ability comes through the acceleration of project schedules and off-site prefabrication which significantly reduces waste on construction.
This increase in knowledge transcends the build cycle into the Facility Management cycle through a data rich, sole source for all project information.

Virtual Building Logistics has leveraged the BIM Tool to provide its benefits to projects worldwide from "St. Louis, MO, USA" to "Machua, China" and the "Philippines". Please view are web site regurlarly http://www.vblogistics.com for project and VBL updates. By implementing VBL's BIM capabilities early on in the project development proactive Owners, Developers, and General Contractors have substantially benefitted. Numerous case studies documenting such benefits as shortening of design time to a faster Return on Investment are just a few of the attractions the use of BIM brings to the table. With Global concerns over waste and climate change the use of Building Information Modeling is the obvious next step for the construction industry to position its self as a proactive GREEN inustry instead of one that is reactive.
