Working with viewpoints is quite labor-intensive, but its high-quality implementation allows achieving the main goal: information from the model begins to be actually used on the site, the model becomes the main, reliable and convenient source of data for all project participants.
Refusal of advance copies
Traditionally, construction sites have used reference copies of documentation to coordinate work. However, the use of up-to-date BIM models can completely replace this practice. Instead of transferring paper documents, builders can access a model that acts as a reference copy. This speeds up processes and reduces the costs of processing and transferring documentation.
Dividing the model into work fronts
Another important opportunity that CIM provides during the construction phase is the division of tasks into zones or work fronts. It allows designers and builders to coordinate their activities more effectively, since each section can be detailed and designed as separate assembly diagrams.
This approach allows for an additional acceleration of the transfer of design solutions from the designer to the builder. At the same time, designers can legalize individual parts of the project, which allows for the construction of certain areas to begin before the entire project is fully completed. As a result, the time required to complete work tasks and the amount of downtime due to waiting for documentation are reduced.
Conclusion
Using BIM technologies in construction can significantly simplify and speed up processes if approached systematically and thoughtfully. The key to successful work with BIM is the simplicity and accessibility of models for all participants in the process. When models become the main tool on the construction site, and the specialists working with them are ready to quickly adapt to the needs of the project, it is possible to achieve maximum efficiency and minimize risks.
