New technologies are changing the way construction is delivered, which is especially true in Wurster’s use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) coordination. At Wurster, we use programs such as Navisworks and Revit to generate 3-D digital models of the project. This advanced technology allows for visualization of current spaces, precise logistical planning, thorough constructability analysis, clash detection, and much more. Before construction is scheduled we are able to generate a digital representation of what the completed facility will look like along with the infrastructure it requires. Throughout the project our BIM coordinator can pinpoint discrepancies among the plans and materials, allowing us to problem solve before work is scheduled.
Key Benefits to BIM Coordination Include:
- Enhanced Visualization: Detailed 3-D models provide stakeholders with a clear and realistic depiction of project spaces, enabling better decision-making and communication.
- Improved Logistical Planning: By accurately mapping out construction sequences and logistics, we streamline workflows and optimize resource allocation, leading to greater efficiency and cost savings.
- Constructability Analysis: Through analysis of project models, we identify and resolve constructability issues early on, minimizing rework and mitigating risks during the construction phase.
- Clash Detection: Our advanced clash detection tools pinpoint potential conflicts between various building systems, allowing for proactive resolution before they impact construction progress.
- Proactive Issue Resolution: With regular BIM coordination meetings, we foster open communication among project stakeholders, enabling swift resolution of issues and minimizing disruptions to project timelines.
- Cost and Time Savings: By leveraging BIM Coordination throughout the preconstruction process, we reduce the likelihood of costly rework, delays, and change orders, ultimately delivering projects on time and within budget.
