The Building Information Modeling (BIM) method is revolutionizing the construction process and taking it to a whole new level.
In order to realize the principle of the "single source of truth", the models created in the planning phase must also be used consistently during construction. Everyone involved – from the project manager to the construction worker – has access to the same accurate and up-to-date data, resulting in fewer misunderstandings, faster decisions, and smoother workflows.
The success of a construction project depends to a large extent on all trades – such as master builders, HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning, sanitation) and electrical systems – working together seamlessly. The BIM method enables model-based collaboration, in which all trades are integrated into a digital model. Everyone can access the model in real time, track changes and make adjustments before work begins on site. Coordination challenges and potential errors can be identified and rectified more quickly, as all trades work on the same information basis.
The model-based way of working opens up a variety of BIM2Field applications that revolutionize the work process on the construction site. Digital models can be integrated directly into machine controls, for example for automated excavator control. This allows for more precise earthworks, saving both time and resources. Staking out with the total station, based on the digital BIM models, also makes the positioning of building elements on site more precise and faster. The direct connection between the digital model and the physical work on the construction site significantly increases efficiency and minimizes the error rate.
Quality is non-negotiable on the construction site, and BIM ensures that quality assurance always remains at the center. With the help of technologies such as laser scanners, the construction progress can be compared with the digital model. This precise measurement technology makes it possible to detect and correct deviations at an early stage. The result: less rework and higher construction quality. The continuous comparison of the planning model and the actual construction progress ensures that quality is guaranteed throughout the entire construction phase.
