BENEFITS OF ADOPTING VIRTUAL MODELING SOLUTION/ TECHNOLOGY
- Visualization
of the engineering model of the buildings at every phase of the construction, even
before construction process is started.
- The synchronization
of design, cost and time data is achieved.
- The estimates
are prepared and easily updated at any time to reflect subsequent changes in the
design.
- Significantly
improves cost management accuracy and turnaround times.
- Alternatives
can be evaluated easily & quickly and changes can be made, which helps in the early
elimination of design & coordination errors.
- Optimized
schedule planning and production control, which provides superior performance over
traditional techniques.
- Minimizes
disruptions, assures productivity from day one, shortens schedules, increases profitability
and win more business. Sequencing of all the activities of buildings and the utilities.
- The 3D,
4D, & 5D modeling tools have helped construction organizations to reduce their cost
of construction between 3% to 5% and construction time from 8 to 20% .
GROUPS WHO GETS BENEFIT FROM THIS TECHNOLOGY ARE:
Project
OwnerArchitectural/
Engineering ConsultantsContractorsPrivate
Equity Firms/ Financial Institutions/ Lender Engineers.

ARCHITECTURAL/ STRUCTURAL DESIGNERS
- Integrated
modeling, analysis and design can be achieved without splitting up the tasks.
- Better
cooperation among architectural team, structural consultant & different MEP consultants
through BIM model.
- Faster
coordination of building systems like space utilization, clash detection.
- Easy and
error free generation of construction documentation.Since 2D model is a by –product
of the 3 D model, consistency is easily achieved in all the sections, plans and
elevations.
- All engineering
data design, costing & scheduling data can be continuously updated on a real time
basis in one single BIM package
. CONTRACTORS
- Possibility of more what if scenarios.
- Rehearsed construction plans, sequences, heavy lifts and difficult carry-in movements.>
- Visualization of simulated environment.
- Help the construction & erection gangs to speed up their work.
- Near real time material balance, sub-contractor's bill verification & project
MONITORING & CONTROL
PRIVATE EQUITY FIRMS/ FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS/ BANKS
- Audit of construction cost of a real estate/ infrastructure project.
- Amount of funds being utilized are easily assessed during construction period,
helping in phase wise release of funds by investing company.
- Assistance in arriving project cost to fix up final amount of equity and debt components.
- Projects become more viable as cost & implementation time get reduced.
PROJECT OWNER
- Improvement
in predictability.
- Better
design quality, better performing building (systems & engineering coordination)
- BIM includes
all related information for owners to deal with the property, building systems and
maintenance.
- Reduces
causes for disputes & claims with contractors
- Data can
be efficiently exchanged for operations/ maintenance purpose
- Saving
of 3%-5% on construction cost & 8% to 20% on project implementation time.
