5 What is BIM? Building information modelling The benefit of BIM is that all views and presentation materials are produced directly from the same single model ensuring reliability, consistency and accuracy of all information produced. This process connects all of the material, views & drawings that are produced. One change anywhere in the model means a change everywhere, all views and drawings are automatically changed. Never again will your working drawings differ from what has been approved at planning and you will avoid sales images and sales dimensions differing from what is being produced on site. Adoption of BIM procedures avoids issues, such as window schedules not matching the plans and elevations such problems no longer affect our drawings or those of the consultants in our preferred design team. One of the greatest benefits BIM brings is faultless co-ordination throughout the entire project.

13 Benefits Risks The Benefi ts of a BIM Workfl ow The Risks of a BIM Workfl ow Civil Engineers work alongside Architects during planning stages and make early service and highway enquiries that can influence designs. Groundwork packages can be issued to client as soon as the planning application is lodged. Working drawings and details are assembled and coordinated. Early fi nancial commitment to consultants and resources Information required is top end heavy No invisible divide between planning and technical stages A high degree of staff skill levels, accuracy and collaboration necessary to be truly effective The drive towards virtual modelling brings considerable benefi ts. More complete coordination of information from planning to technical to sales The drive for GIRO and virtual building reduces errors before site construction A shorter project drawing time frame can be achieved leading to a shorter time on site due to fewer coordination problems
