CHALLENGES IN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
 In many studies, fragmentation was identified as one of the critical problem and many
believe by resolving the fragmentation issue, the industry could improve significantly.
 Some of the problems, caused by the fragmentation are:
 Information with data generated at one stage could
not automatically available for re-use downstream
 Difficulties in changing and adapting design, planning and
cost estimate.
 Failure to link impacts of design to construction decision The need for
 Poor coordination information
 Difficulties in promoting a collaborative environment integration
 Ineffective communication
 Would allow for information wastage and a lot of
repetition.
 Redundant and replicated work at different interfaces

 MISCONCEPTION ABOUT BIM
11

 BIM is just 3D Modelling

 Revit is BIM
 BIM takes more time to improve productivity
 BIM is just for big companies and projects
 BIM is solving clash detection
 BIM is difficult or maybe too easy.
 A magic pill to solve entire problems in construction

 The concept of parametric objects is central to understanding BIM and its differentiation from traditional 3D
objects. It serves as the main technology in BIM. Parametric BIM consists of the following characteristic
 Consist of geometric defi nitions and associated data and rules.
 Geometry is integrated nonredundantly, and allows for no inconsistencies. When an object is shown
in 3D, the shape cannot be represented internally redundantly, for example, as multiple 2D views. A
plan and elevation of a given object must always be consistent. Dimensions cannot be “fudged.”
 Parametric rules for objects automatically modify associated geometries when inserted into a
building model or when changes are made to associated objects. For example, a door will fi t
automatically into a wall, a light switch will automatically locate next to the proper side of the door, a
wall will automatically resize itself to butt to a ceiling or roof, and so forth.
 Objects can be defi ned at different levels of aggregation, so we can define a wall as well as its
related components. Objects can be defi ned and managed at any number of hierarchy levels. For
example, if the weight of a wall subcomponent changes, the weight of the wall should also change.
 Objects’ rules can identify when a particular change violates object feasibility regarding size,
manufacturability, and so forth.
 Objects have the ability to link to or receive, broadcast, or export sets of attributes, for example,
structural materials, acoustic data, energy data, and the like, to other applications and models.

 THE BENEFITS OF BIM
30

 Lots of benefits gain through BIM, but the implementation still low
 The Nature of 3D Parametric
 Design Visualization
Visualize building early in the process to support and accelerate the
decision making process.
 Schedule Visualization
Visualize construction process to review and optimize the construction
sequence and the schedule.
 Design Validation
Integrate 3D models of all trades to identify interferences and
constructability issues before they materialize in the field.
 Estimating
Tie scope of project to a price;
Manage scope changes more efficiently
