BIM is a collaborative work methodology that allows information to be integrated and exchanged between the different disciplines that make up the entire project phases. In addition, the BIM services allows you to create virtual representations the project and also simulate the performance of the building in real life.

The BIM (Building Information Modelling) methodology is changing the paradigm of the construction industry by improving the internal processes of companies and establishing a collaborative model between the different BIM agents.

BIM Consultants assists the client in defining the most feasible and cost-effective BIM strategies to implement the timely exchange of information request (EIR) and the BIM execution plan (BEP), as well as to optimize the CAPEX and OPEX of its edifice.

You may want to look for a BIM consultant with not only experience in consulting but previous experience of delivering BIM in the specific areas of work you are involved in.

What benefits does a BIM consultancy provide for your company?

Seamless Integration:

Before BIM, large-scale construction projects were based on a series of drawings and computer-generated information that were combined to form the overall design. This meant that each specialty (architecture, engineering and construction) was using their own projects or generating their own information and lack of communication.Obviously, this is not the ideal or expected level of information transfer, and you probably know from experience exactly what we’re talking about.Have you had, for example, problems getting in touch with a consultant? BIM solves this problem.BIM modeling ensures that all participants are viewing the same BIM model. Construction professionals see the same information as engineers and architects.No more communication problems or working in silos. BIM has helped save clients millions of dollars. It has even helped find spaces for clients that they didn’t know existed before.

Increased ROI (Return Over Investment):

Small businesses generally have high overhead costs, and a significant portion of expenses generated by information flow problems and errors. BIM consulting can help with this by increasing your ROI. A company’s level of BIM maturity correlates with a high return on investment. Companies with a lower BIM maturity level had worse ROI. This is mainly due to the ways in which BIM consulting can change the workflow.

ROI is increased by reducing errors, efficient use of resources, dissemination and availability of information, and attracting the right people to work with emerging technology. Attracting the best professionals attracts the best clients, who are willing to pay more for better service.

Trust the final build quality:

BIM modeling allows for virtual (geometric) and standard inspection before your project is complete. The 3D model containing layers of different systems allows you to run virtual “tests” to ensure your systems work.

It allows you to detect clashes or issues, long before you start the construction process.

BIM modeling is no longer the future and is here to stay. Small businesses can reap many benefits by adopting this methodology and being at the forefront of the industry.

Choosing a quality BIM consulting firm can help prepare you to fully embrace BIM. BIM makes things easier. So much easier, that every small business should have a BIM consulting company as a strategic partner.
