WHAT IS BIM AND THE IMPORTANCE OF BIM IN PROJECTS

​
BIM is an abbreviation for Building Information Modeling and refers to a digital approach used in the processes from the design phase to the construction, from the construction to the operation. BIM creates a much more comprehensive database by bringing together all the components, features and relationships of a structure with 3D models. This database can be used at every stage of a building's life cycle. BIM is used in the construction industry to improve design, collaboration, communication and data sharing.

​

The importance of BIM can be summarized as follows:
1. Increased Efficiency: BIM makes design and construction processes more efficient. All stakeholders (architects, engineers, contractors, suppliers) can access the same data, so communication is faster and more accurate. This helps the project stay on time and within budget.

2. Error Reduction: BIM helps to detect potential errors in advance during the design phase. In this way, costly corrections and changes are reduced.
3. Design Improvement: 3D models help in better understanding the design. This allows designers and clients to make better decisions.

4. Better Project Management: BIM makes project management more effective. It can be used to track project progress, manage resources, and optimize the supply chain.

5. Maintenance and Operation Improvement: Once a building is completed, BIM data facilitates maintenance and operation processes. Maintenance requirements, material supplies, and other important information can be found in this database.

6. Sustainability: BIM can be used to better evaluate sustainability factors such as energy efficiency, material usage, and environmental impacts.

7. Ease of Collaboration: BIM enables better collaboration between different stakeholders. Everyone has access to the same data and up-to-date information, thus minimizing communication problems.

​

As a result, BIM has revolutionized the construction industry and has contributed to the implementation of more efficient, lower-cost, and more sustainable projects. Therefore, the importance of BIM in the construction and real estate industry is increasing.

BIM CONSULTANCY

​

The duties of BIM Consultancy may vary at different stages of the project. As Almina Engineering, within the scope of BIM Consultancy;

1. Developing BIM Application Strategy: Determining and developing BIM strategies according to the needs of the client or the project team. Developing appropriate BIM strategies by analyzing the goals and needs of the project.
2. Team Training: It is important to create a team that understands and can implement BIM use. Almina Engineering provides training and technical support to the project team on BIM when necessary.
3. Implementing BIM Standards: Determining the BIM standards to be used in the project and ensuring the implementation of these standards. These standards may cover modeling, file format, collaboration and other BIM processes.
4. BIM Software and Tool Selection: Selecting the most appropriate BIM software for the project and configuring this software when necessary. In addition, selecting and managing the relevant BIM tools.
5. Modeling and Integration: Almina Engineering manages the creation of models of the different disciplines of the project (architecture, engineering, construction) and the integration of these models. This facilitates data sharing and collaboration among various stakeholders.

6. Quality Control: Ensuring the accuracy and consistency of BIM models and data. This helps in smoother project progress and prevent errors, and ensures that the project progresses to the desired standards.

7. Collaboration and Coordination: BIM facilitates collaboration among team members from different disciplines. Almina Engineering encourages the use of BIM to provide better collaboration and communication among different project stakeholders.

8. Data Analysis and Reporting: It helps improve decision-making processes by analyzing project data. It also reports project progress and performance.

9. Clash Detection and Analysis: Detecting clashes and providing solution suggestions using BIM modeling. This can reduce errors and reduce costs during the design phase of the project.
