BIM Model Validation for project success

Image
BIM Model Validation for Project Success Building Information Modelling (BIM)  is a process for creating and managing digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of places. It is used to support decision-making about a place throughout its lifecycle, from conceptualization to demolition. BIM model validation  is the process of checking the accuracy and completeness of a BIM model. It is important to validate BIM models to ensure that they are  accurate and reliable  enough to be used for decision-making. BIM model Benefits of BIM model validation: Improved  accuracy  and completeness of BIM models Reduced risk of  errors and omissions  in BIM models Improved  communication and collaboration  between project stakeholders Increased trust in BIM models Enhanced decision-making Improve BIM Return on Investment (ROI) Improved accuracy and completeness of BIM models Challenges in BIM Model Validation One of the biggest c...

Traditional and BIM Approach in Quantity Surveying

Image
Introduction Quantity surveying in the Engineering and Construction industry focuses on the quantities, cost, and budget of the projects. A quantity surveyor is associated with the planning, design, construction (or demolition/reconstruction) phases. Right from a plan being drawn and until a large construction project has been completed, a quantity surveyor is likely to be involved in a legal, technical and financial capacity. A Quantity Surveyor is an expert in the art of costing a building/infrastructure at all its stages who offers expert advice on construction costs.   A Quantity Surveyor will be responsible for helping to estimate costs, quantities, and project timelines and providing this information to clients. He / She will be liaising with a variety of other teams and helping to keep a project on track. Importance of Quantity Takeoff and Required Documents The quantity of material in a project can be accurately determined from the drawings. The estimator must review each s...
