How to Implement BIM in Medium-Sized Companies Effectively?


BIM has emerged as a remarkable new technology for structural and architectural building designs for its implementation in medium-sized companies. Before application of Building Information Modeling for medium size companies several queries and challenges occurs regarding the technical expertise of the employees, delay in projects as a consequence of introduction of newer technology and rising costs. These kinds of query and troubles pertaining to BIM implementation may be simply fixed by carrying out basic training and efficient planning of application of BIM Services. Hence with the aid of appropriate planning and minimal preparation BIM can be effortlessly and successfully implemented into medium-sized companies without significant intervention and disturbance.

Commencing with BIM:
Application of BIM Services in medium size company can be referred as Process modification phenomenon. The employees of company ought to be equally associated with the decision making process of transformation to BIM and need to get ready for transformations in technology. Implementation of BIM in Large scale companies is carried out individually form one individual to other and exercises conveniently without significant interference. However in medium-sized companies all the teams are equal participants in making decisions along with the various actions carried out throughout the procedure of implementation of BIM Services.  Best choice to begin with BIM services would be to outsource the BIM training for employees. Installation of new software’s and upgrading the server accordingly happens to be major aspect of concern to get start with BIM. For instance, you require high configuration PC’s for optimum quality 3D Rendering and animation for BIM.


Becoming accustomed to BIM application:
It is challenging to relocate entire team to a newer technology. As a result the team members of medium sized companies need to undergo struggling period through the course of BIM transformation. Becoming acquainted with newer BIM environment turns out to be quite challenging for medium sized companies because of short deadlines.
It is essential to regard the training period of BIM as an investment and also everyone needs to indulge equally in the various activities to ensure that performance does not get influenced. The most excellent concept of Building Information Modeling execution is to impart training on existing functional projects. This contributes to two way advantages of advanced training exercises without impacting on the efficiency by time-bound completion of the project.

Planning after BIM Application and Training:
After accomplishment of appropriately structured training session on preliminary projects, it’s time for analysis or evaluation. For carrying out evaluation of the training, employees should begin with any dummy project in case time endures otherwise begin with upcoming project. It turns out to be convenient for employees to get familiar with Building Information Modeling as a result of structured training program on existing projects. In addition to beginning new project a comprehensive time evaluation needs to be carried out to assess benefits and efficiency of BIM implementation.

By implementing above stated strategies, BIM transition can be conveniently executed in Medium-sized companies with the help of well structured training and mutual co-ordination and assistance of employees of the company.

BIM must be credited for the metamorphosis of AEC industry!

The metamorphosis of conventional construction methods into innovative methods must be largely credited to BIM technology. Building Information Modeling is a highly productive technology for AEC professionals since it has huge magnitude and potential to handle all types of complications associated to construction projects.  Initially when BIM technology was not prevalent in the landscapes of Architecture Engineering and Construction industry, accomplishment of construction projects was challenging or demanding task for AEC professionals.  During that time architects and engineers used to perform most the construction related activities directly at the proposed location and hence they used to meet a lot of design problems at the time of final construction. And because of this AEC professionals used to face a large amount of rework situations which largely used to increase the project cost.   Rework is not only accountable for increasing project cost but it also resul...

BIM: A game changing invention for AEC industry

It’s been centuries since construction work has begun commercially. Every passing decade added some innovation and left with a limitation to deal with. Of course it is undisputed that the industry was getting better and better yet the pace of this advancement wasn’t really remarkable. The issues like degradation in productivity, rising cost, delay in completion of the project were still to solve. Well, these are the issues which have hindered the growth of the construction industry. Each stakeholder belonging to this field was seeking salvation, until Building Information Modeling was invented and reached out to the public. The age brought by high tech tools including BIM is defined in golden letters in the book of Architectural and Engineering industry. Initially Architectural drawings used to be developed manually. Though, AutoCAD 2D architectural software was launched afterwards which has made this task a bit easier, but highly advanced and organized software was y...
