SKETS Studio BIM Consultancy Services: A Deep Dive and how it fuels our clients’ growth
The AEC industry is an ever-expanding space. It’s a place where frequent introduction of new and innovative technologies is the norm. Building Information Modeling, commonly known as BIM, is one such technology that transformed the AEC landscape completely. Although the term was actually coined in the initial years of the 90s, the idea of BIM started gaining traction much before that. It was not until the early 2000s that technology got fully integrated into the industry.
With its introduction, BIM opened up an extra dimension for visualizing a project. It provided rich data-driven 3D models, which was a tectonic shift from traditional 2D drawings. Not only did it offer better visualization, with BIM, project collaboration improved drastically. It also enhanced communication between all the stakeholders, resulting in a reduction in project costs and time.
BIM Simplified: A Quick Guide
BIM is a 3D model-based process that equips AEC professionals with the tools and insights necessary for efficient planning, designing, constructing, and managing buildings or infrastructure.
By aligning architects, engineers, contractors and clients, BIM facilitates critical decision-making processes across various project stages, significantly reducing costs and enhancing the resilience of structures during and after construction.
This ensures that all the stakeholders have access to real-time progress and information.
