Building information modeling has given the construction players a different lens to approach their work and this has simplified their work flow over the years. This software allows you to create a digital representation of your model and analyse its performance before its physical construction process takes place. This process has really helped the building professionals to save time and think economically from every aspect.
Despite of BIM bringing a significant change in the construction spectrum, 95% of architects and engineers know about it, out of which only 48-54% have actually adopted. This is also mainly because of the fact that not many are aware about its configuration process and also using such a high tech software can be of a complicated task.
But if you take Pareto principle that states, 80% of the outcome flow through 20% of input, you will realize that once you begin to understand the working of this software, it’ll help you save an enumerable amount of time and bring quantifiable results for the same. The technological innovation has helped the construction industry to avoid a lot of precarious hazards caused by traditional construction methods.
But the approach of building information modeling comes with a heavy bag of credentials you first need to satisfy. Let’s take a look at them:
Be ready to cross-check your expenses
Laptops are a must and that too an expensive one with the important configuration to meet the requirement of the BIM hardware i.e. fastest processor available, enough memory within reason and the best graphics card, not necessarily but at least for the software.
The skillset
Operating on the BIM software can become complex but not when you have the specialized knowledge. Now that BIM has become more advanced and with the addition of more elements and features, it has become difficult to work on design projects. Its like they say, the more successful you become, the more challenges you face. So, train to get the technical expertise about the hardware and its components.
Should serve the Purpose
Don’t buy a BIM hardware just for the sake of buying it, as a lot is at stake here. Be extremely erudite about the purpose it should serve you or your organization and then make a decision whether your organization has the economic capacity to buy this additional equipment. We all are cobwebbed in the digital world, which easily induces us to be dependent on the high tech that is offered but we need to be wise and reasonable in response to its effect on us.
Be patient and have faith in the process
Since working on the BIM hardware is a tough task, it is imperative to be patient and have faith in the process as initially it will take time and efforts to understand the working system and it can get messy and frustrating but you need to believe and have faith in the process as the major payoff is a product of high quality, precision and cost-effectiveness.
No doubt that BIM has changed the face of the construction industry and it saves a lot of time and money over traditional construction process but you should be aware of the mentioned credentials before knowing what you will sign up for.
