Infographic:How can BIM be Useful for Concrete/ Rebar Contractors?
Building information modeling (BIM) transforms how buildings are being designed and built, adding unparalleled levels of precision, accuracy, and visual understanding digitally. BIM-based Concrete Detailing Services, often called Precast or Rebar Detailing Services, drive the next level of flexibility and project efficiency. Therefore, concrete contractors today stand to overcome various construction challenges and reap huge benefits from BIM enablement to extract quantity take-offs to bid accurately and gain profits.
Common Challenges Faced by the Concrete Contractors
- 2D drawings do not help with accurate planning of precast concrete
- Legacy construction tools reduce accuracy, increase reworks and cause project delays
- 2D drawings cause coordination and collaboration issues between trades and teams
- Lack of visualization to map concrete components for fabrication and installation
- Inaccurate Scheduling and BOQs
BIM Makes Life Easy for Concrete Contractors,
BIM-based construction offers faster, more accurate, and clash-free construction, reducing reworks, timelines, and wastage to a greater extent. It provides a detailed visual representation of the building to be constructed with all the materials and cost projections. It also assists with accurately placing all the concrete and steel structural elements bringing accuracy to the field. Thus, BIM is re-establishing the 2D processes with enhanced 3D digital precision, speed, and economy for the rebar contractors.
