How Does Implementation of BIM Save time and Cost?

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Whenever we come across the benefits and advantages of BIM, it is termed to be a Time and Cost saver.

But, how does BIM help us save Time and Cost?

And we all very well known that Time and cost are the 2 main factors involved in construction. If BIM helps us save the both to an extent, nothing better than that which ensures maximum return on their investment.

Factors of BIM Time and Cost Saving:

 Implementation of BIM on a project can help you save time which ultimately results in cost savings and vice versa, irrespective of the investments done (prior to the implementation of BIM)

  • Collaboration between Project teams
  • Smart Extraction of Quantity takeoff
  • Increasing Efficiency & Transparency
  • Enhanced Detail
  • Successful Delivery of Project within deadline
  • Saving Time required in documentation

Collaboration between project teams:

BIM at its core is an integrated management system that allows 3D design, together with onsite construction and information, that enables handover to operationally manage the client’s facility.

Collaborating on a project from the initial stages brings numerous benefits, including reducing time delays and the need for contingency funds. The appointed design team, contractors, manufacturers and installers all working collaboratively means designs, issues, priorities and construction methods are all agreed upon in the initial stages and fully understood by all parties.
Detecting conflict at early stages means they are addressed and resolved promptly and still during the planning stages. Without BIM, issues are often only picked up at major project milestones and at this point they can be difficult and expensive to rectify.

Smart Extraction of Quantity Takeoff:

With BIM virtual models, you can derive the accurate quantities of materials required for your project. Also, you can calculate the timescale/duration of the project depending on factors of cost and labor, etc.

This eventually can help you order your materials timely in advance so that the delay is avoided as well as budgets are maintained. Thus, resulting in saving time and maintaining budgeted costs.

Increase Efficiency & Transparency:

BIM has a significant impact on increasing efficiency during the design and construction phases of a project. Its benefits include speeding up job completion time, reducing the number of errors made and saving costs by identifying areas to use prefabricated materials.

Additionally, using BIM from start to finish on a construction project allows for a higher degree of transparency. In addition to the benefits it holds for subcontractors, it also helps key stakeholders see digestible, day-to-day snapshots of progress on the job site.

Hence, the progress of the project activities can be tracked and in case, any delay occurs, necessary steps can be taken to avoid its impact on further schedules and costs incurred.

Enhanced Detail: BIM enables experts to make smarter decisions to make planning and pre-construction decisions faster by allowing them to re-use design intent model. Professionals can design model services with a higher level of detailing, further reducing time to fabrication.

While designing, there are a lot of elements that come together and make the project whole, with BIM all the project stake holders will be able to schedule elements and utilize the value in view filters, reorganize the facility to interrelate with the items in the property palette.

Successful Delivery of Project within Deadline:

BIM resolves potential conflicts in advance before the project is executed on-site.

It is costly to rectify site issues after the installation has already taken place.

With BIM, it is easy to visualize possible conflicts and fix them before project completion.

This will reduce rework, conflicts, waste and delay in project delivery.

Saving Time required in documentation:

 BIM helps to save a huge amount of time in documentation for architects and construction managers thus, granting them more time to focus on the production of creative and unique designs for the project.

BIM makes it possible for clients to have several/various solutions rather than just one within the stipulated timeline of the project.

At the same time, the use of BIM leads to greater efficiency and accuracy in the design and construction phase of the project.

A single building model created/designed and integrated database contains all the information about the project in one single place, simplifying documentation needed for later maintenance, repairs or additions to the edifice.

In addition to these factors, there are many more Benefits of BIM.

  • Clear expectations of the project and less scope change.
  • Increase user satisfaction with renovation results
  • Better documentation of the project resulting in lifetime data.
  • Asset maintenance
  • Reduced risks
  • Fewer litigation’s
  • Lean approach
  • Greater Analysis
  • Prefabrication and modular construction
  • Provide better designs for projects aiming to reduce energy consumption

Thus, BIM offers multiple opportunities to reduce time and cost and make it easy aiding towards efficient project delivery.

BIM will help you save your time and money, not only during the design and construction of the building/edifice but through its entire life cycle.
