With the upgradation in technology, BIM is finding its new potential as BAM and BOOM. Now, this goes beyond design. It not only offers better design but also better Construction and operation as well. This might not be a very familiar concept known by many. So, let’s understand how BIM is useful in construction and operation of the building.
Initially, BIM is used by architects to perform analysis on a digital Model to improve the design. This model is then handed over to the construction team for assembly modeling which is referred to asBAM(Building Assembly Modeling).At last, the documents are submitted to the client in form of a model calledBOOM(Building Operation Optimization Model). Hence, these models are useful in every phase of the project lifecycle.
Using BIM as BAM:
With the use of BIM, the construction team is able to utilize the software for creating digital models called BAM. It contains all the detailed information about the project. The unique characteristics of the project are stored in one particular space allowing its easy access. Thus it becomes easier for the members to create building plans, make necessary changes in the existing state, and also maintain it once it has been completed.
This model helps construction managers to estimate time and cost. For companies looking to implement BIM on more than one project, BIM can help reduce cost and time variability between projects. Overall, it cuts down project liability and risk to the construction firm. Apart from this, BIM software help in choosing which materials are best for the environment.
Using BIM as BOOM:
It is a general misconception that BIM is useful only for designers and construction team, but not for the client. However, this is not the case. Only 20% of a facility cost resides in its design and construction.
The rest 80% lies in its effective operation. Achieving savings after the completion of the facility is through BOOM. Apart from savings, it allows the client to analyze the models from feasibility stage and test it more accurately than under 2D concept. It allows estimating the cost at an early stage for the client.
Overall BIM is advantageous in following ways:
- It provides the ability to interrogate design models for validating engineering decisions.
- Show cost implications related to changes in the design.
- Eliminate interface and coordination challenges between different teams.
- Provide safe operational working methods, logistics planning, and movement.
- Allow design optimization through clash avoidance.
- Provide detailed design information to aid safety.
- Provide linked schedules direct to models.
