BIM Benefits of Contractors

Benefits of Contractors

• Contractors can create accurate construction schedules and arrange necessary materials.
• Review construction plans and sequences
• Study yard operation and site logistics
• Prefabrication & assembly of materials in a controlled, factory environment which results higher quality at a lower cost.
• BIM offers a good cost estimation(quantity takeoff) throughout bidding and procurement
• Plan errors are set up once building the models which leads to smaller number of errors and omissions necessitating rectifications by the contractor - saving costs and resources
• BIM improves coordination in construction sequencing
• Effective marketing presentation of construction approaches
• BIM can check possible conflicts that may arise during building construction
• Enable GPS driven machine control equipment
• BIM allows for more "what if" scenarios, such as construction sequencing options, shuffling of human resources, fine-tuning cost factors, etc.
• BIM assists clients and end-users in realizing and visualizing the end product
• Shop drawing reduction (model to fabrication)
• Digital fabrication (steel, HVAC ducts, piping)
• Fewer callbacks and lower warranty costs
