Participants in the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services industries are constantly under pressure to deliver high-quality work under the constraints of tight deadlines and strict budgets. Building Information Modeling Systems (BIM) play a vital role in the successful project life-cycle, and in particular, have the following benefits.
- Reduce uncertainty: the BIM produces a visual representation of the facility before any physical construction. This enables mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineers to see the work in totality, and reduces the likelihood of unexpected issues.
- Improve safety: any potential safety and security issues can be highlighted before work begins, and updated as construction continues.
- Definition of work: The particular stages in the work can be isolated and individually defined, allowing more efficient use of resources.
- “Clash” detection: an efficient BIM system will model the development, and visually show any parts of the building which may intersect incorrectly.
- Coordination: mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services need to be correctly scheduled to ensure that processes are undertaken in the correct order and the right place.
- Material ordering: details of materials required can be easily obtained from the system, together with the timescale. This ensures both that work can commence on schedule.
- Material optimization: material wastage is minimized by having products delivered as needed, rather than having to stockpile on site in advance.
