Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a process of generating and managing building data during its complete life cycle, from conceptual design through to operation of the building. Ian details BIM impacts and benefits, it's process, collaboration, and integration into the project. KEY TAKEAWAYSBIM is a whole life cycle approach integrated completely from inception to operation of the construction project. You have the ability, through 3D modelling, to visualise the design during progress and adapt as you proceed. It contains information on design, construction, logistics, assets, operations, maintenance, budgets and schedules. The integrated platform saves time on communication as all the information on all the disciplines within the construction is available via BIM to everyone.It allows decisions to be properly considered before the impact of each choice by the extrapolation of the data.Instances of reworking and revisions are reduced. Safety is improved. Foresight is gained to avoid project delays and unforeseen costs. Operation of the building can be overviewed early by a Facilities Manager to pinpoint any future difficulties early. BEST MOMENTS‘This is something that I really like. I'm very passionate about the whole life cycle of a building and looking at the endgame at the beginning.'‘Because everybody is working on the one platform and is collaborating, there is a lot more efficiency because you're not piping data from one person to the next person.'‘You can look at the cost impact. You can look at the time impact of the various options so the client can make seriously informed decisions.'‘There is complete transparency from the beginning . So all the parties are building this up together on a common data environment. And then you have graphical and non graphical data which can all be used by all the parties as you build up the specifications and other information. So it really does start to look at this in a holistic way.'  VALUABLE RESOURCEShttps://www.ianjrogers.com/ ABOUT THE HOSTIan Rogers is an entrepreneur running businesses in the Real Estate, Construction and Facilities Management arena. Ian has over 40 years' industry experience, as he was effectively born into construction with his father having his own building company and Ian spending time working on sites from the age of 11!. As a result Ian has seen the industry from a trades person perspective, as a chartered quantity surveyor working on large commercial projects, as a project manager and then working on structured project finance through PFI/PPP deals. This has given Ian a unique whole life approach to any project by considering the end game at the beginning. CONTACT METHODhttps://www.ianjrogers.com/ Hosted on Acast.
