BIM
In a recent story published Globe Newspaper Company, the issue of BIM (Building Image Modeling) has been brought to the mainstream eye. As a 3d-modeler in the architecture business myself I find it nice to see someone realizing the value 3d models can have.
“This is a paradigm shift in the industry,” said David S. Dutton, Suffolk’s manager of estimating services.
BIM has been around for more than a decade, but only in recent years has it become the industry standard. The process was used in an estimated 60 percent of commercial and institutional construction projects in 2008, up from 30 percent in 2007 and 15 percent in 2006, said Jan Reinhardt of Adept Project Delivery, a Pittsburgh firm Suffolk hired to consult on its BIM efforts.
In almost all cases, officials said, the process saves time and money. It also eliminates the often testy meetings between subcontractors as they try to determine how to make changes to a building under construction. With BIM, conflicts are resolved in meetings that take place before a shovel goes in the ground.
