BIM is more than just technology
The global industrial AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) has been impacted by several waves of technological innovations that, while it is true that they have contributed to develop projects with greater precision and efficiency, it is no less true that they have meant major changes in the processes traditional BIM Modeling is a new work process that every professional in the AEC industry must know.
Nowadays, buildings are more complex than ever before. The documentation includes all disciplines and may have hundreds of plans. The number of people who interact with these plans to produce them, evaluate them, or build them has increased. Today we have more requirements for security, lighting, audio, data, telecommunications, air conditioning and energy supply than ever before. The information in the documentation can no longer be abstract approximations because the cost of errors is too high and, therefore, there is an expectation of coordinated documentation. The use of computers has replaced the manual drawing, but the information is still generated in 2D. The drawing is faster, but we are still working with collections of lines and text that do not have any intelligence.
These challenges have been palpable for decades but only today, in the 21stCentury, we have the capabilities and technical tools to overcome them. With the arrival of BIM Modeling process, we have managed to make the project information intelligent, coordinated, accurate and 3 dimensional.
BIM Workflow
BIM Modeling is a process based on the creation of intelligent models and project documentation from information systems and software solutions. BIM modeling is both a virtual construction and a three-dimensional database. BIM Modeling contains data defined as attributes and parameters; and it is these parameters that control the geometry of the elements of the building.
BIM ensures that all project incumbents have access to a single source of three-dimensional, intelligent, coordinated and updated information throughout the life cycle of the building.
BIM Modeling implies a transformation of all the processes within the development of projects, as well as a new dynamic of interaction between the project participants.
Benefits of BIM
BIM Modeling gives way to multiple levels of benefits. For example, beginner users can benefit from 3D Modeling and visualization, integrated design documentation, interferences verification, automated and always updated quantification, automated materials collection, sustainable solutions strategies, among others. But in general terms, the main benefit of the use of BIM Modeling is in the reduction of time invested in the routine and repetitive tasks of coordination, and the substantial reduction of errors in the documentation, which translates into the reduction of losses and waste. in the project, and the decrease in construction time.
BIM Modeling Advances
The global AEC industry has accepted BIM Modeling – together with all related technologies – at different levels and capacities. While some countries are just getting to know this process, other countries (United Kingdom, United States, among others), have made official and standardized the use of BIM for all the projects in progress. With the implementation of BIM Model we have seen monetary benefits not only in the competitive advantage that this intelligent process supposes but also in the reduction of errors, conflicts, lack of information and time of redrawing of information. Multiple important success stories serve as standard bearers of successful implementation.

The BIM Modeling implementation has been championed by the disciplines of architecture and construction, becoming transformative of the AEC industry by requesting that its contractors also integrate into this new scheme.
The major challenge today is the availability of professionals for the development of BIM projects. There are few professionals with a truly BIM approach that goes beyond the use of software, and that rather delves into constructive processes and materials and multi-disciplinary coordination.
If you want to implement Building Information Modeling in your company, you must understand that all internal processes and the way in which everyone interacts with the project must change. These changes can be traumatic. Silicon Engineering Consultants LLC can help you make your implementation not only easier but also successful. Visit our page and know everything we can do for you.
