BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING (BIM)
Digitization will be the next big thing in construction. As the world moving towards implementing BIM. Managing projects with BIM ensures greater transparency and traceability, less data disparity, and improves outcomes. Bouw uses packages like Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks, BIM360, and Geotechnical BIM modules to deliver complete BIM solutions
WHY USE BIM?
- Through rapid exchange of design information, different scenarios can be explored faster. This will allow allow for more iterations of the architecture, structure, and engineering systems and leading to an accurate and optimized design.
- By capturing all drawings into one 3D model, we can avoid information loss and make more informed decisions.
- Quickly and easily perform ventilation, heating, and piping calculations.
- The model can generate all geometric and spatial data necessary for energy calculations.
- As a result, environmental compliance is easier and building lifecycle costs are reduced.
- Data integration enables online estimation of construction costs and visualisation of progress.
- Bills of Quantities can be generated directly from the model.
- Procurement data can be connected directly to the model, allowing it to improve the procurement process.
- All the data and geometry needed for accurate installation of a mechanical system are included in the detailed model.
- When a building is completed, the next version of the model will assist facilities management with decision-making and systems, enabling preventative maintenance and repair.
Its capability extends to
- BIM modeling of Geology, Geotechnical, and Hydrology
- BIM modeling of Tunnels, Bridges, and Structures
- BIM modelling of MEP & Ventilations
