The introduction of Building Information Modeling (BIM) promises numerous advantages for companies. Digital information models transport all the necessary data for buildings and enable knowledge acquisition and comparisons in every project phase. Sensible digitization leads to greater efficiency and cost savings, be it in personnel costs, construction expenses or operating costs. Targeted digitization requires a precise analysis of existing processes and possible adaptations to the potential of digital tools.
Automation saves a lot of work, and systematic error checking using software helps to avoid conflicts. Visual representations improve the understanding of conflicts and enable faster solutions. Strong BIM skills help improve a company's image.
The introduction of BIM is a comprehensive business decision that requires the development of a BIM strategy. This includes fundamental considerations of the desired added value, planned applications, training concepts and the definition of work processes. The BIM strategy is similar to a specification and can record improved project control, cost clarity, adherence to deadlines, high project quality, streamlining of internal processes, increased efficiency, cost reduction and improved communication as desired added value.
