On the fast track of BIM

Building Information Modelling (BIM), the completely digital and 3D structural work lifecycle, is sweeping across the industry and moving professionals into the future at incredible speed. To help understand this fast-growing and ever-popular concept, Leica Geosystems BIM experts around the globe, Bernd Moeller (Global), Mark King (Europe, Middle East, Africa), Owen Williams (Asia Pacific) and Cathi Hayes (North America), share their insights.

In the past few years, BIM has seen a remarkable growth. Why is BIM becoming so popular throughout the industry?

Moeller:由于BIM被设计为一个过程，并且与此同时也被建筑行业的大部分地区理解为这样，因此它可以帮助提高建筑物或其他建筑物生命周期的多个阶段的效率。与我们的开发过程类似，在项目的早期阶段，团队旨在识别和最大程度地降低风险，BIM的行为完全相同。经常意识到，影响成本的能力会随着时间的流逝而下降（项目的），但是变化的成本上升了。为了保持“行动范围”高，建筑行业的目的是将计划过程转移到更早的时间点。为了实现这一目标，BIM是所有阶段和参与交易的协调方法，允许控制成本超支，安排滑倒，所有参与方之间的沟通，透明度，劳动和材料的计划，以及最终通过与更多相处来保持竞争力较少的。

The integration of actionable information based on measurement and positioning technology further increases the quality of the BIM data. Capturing the reality by laser scanning as base for construction model designs, progress verification during construction or clash detection and as-built checking, is as beneficial as transporting design model geometry to the construction site, where the same digital model information is applied by means of laying out points and lines with total stations to immediately construct from. Especially to satisfy the desire for complex structures makes the use of such technology almost indispensable.

King:从历史上看，全球建筑业一直集中在此类方法上，并将其构建为单独工作的单个学科的资产。现在，BIM试图将工程和石油和天然气等行业驱动的方法带入多年。实施BIM流程的项目正在看到正面的ROI，但是随着越来越多的国家使BIM成为立法要求，不再应该实施BIM，而是在何时以及如何成功。BIM的采用仍然没有真正地袭击我们行业的群众，但是专注于设计的公司以及大型承包商和分包商在可以看到最大的积极影响的公司中。确保整个供应链采用BIM仍然需要一些方法，但是许多承包商现在将重点从内部流程改进到其分包商的内部流程改进以及建筑工地本身。公司希望通过采用更多数字化和技术先进的工作流程消除浪费和返工。简而言之，公司希望在正确的时间向合适的人获取正确的信息。
