Statistically, a surprisingly raised percentage of construction projects review budget and/or over time upon completion. Building Information Modelling Coventry is usually a consequence of the fact that the drawings produced prior to the start of construction process end up significantly not the same as the As Fitted Drawings especially as far as the 3D M&E (MEP) Coordinated Drawings are worried. Here is in which a BIM approach can help through the construction phase. A few of the key points that stick out as answers to the title questions are:

? BIM is a type of iterative design, where atop the same model you can add more details, more info, phase out the project, produce countless drawings and schedules. When on top of the architectural BIM Modeling you insert MEP (M&E) BIM information you’ve got a much clearer view of the project all together. This results in a clearer view during the construction phase of the project.

? With BIM, producing 3D M&E (MEP) Coordinated Drawings is straightforward. These drawings allow the coordination of the multiple services involved in any building, HVAC, plumbing, electrical systems and other public health systems with the structural and architectural (interior finishes, facades, partitions, etc.) elements.

? When working in a true 3D environment the engineering specialists can ensure that the proposed solution is viable in real life and that those drawings will not be amended once they go into construction.

? BIM Modeling enables one to view the model in 3D, including the builders and installation workers. If at any point an inaccuracy is spotted, once the model is adjusted everyone sees the updates. That is even more possible with shared models so for example when working with a cloud based applications, such as Autodesk 360, all the documents and models come in one place.

? MEP (M&E) Prefabrication Models and Drawings can be produced much quicker and more reliably from coordinated 3D models. Once the models come in place they are often checked for interferences and spatially coordinated using Autodesk’s Navisworks tool before being taken into specialised fabrication software.

? MEP installers know exactly what services will undoubtedly be accessed by which access hatched as this is all shown in the MEP (M&E) BIM model. Equally MEP installers can easily see what areas they should keep services out of, either to lessen fire risks, facilitate future access or to allow future construction phases to be implemented.

? At the end of the construction and installation phase, both the architecture team and client can make direct comparisons between your original drawings and the As Fitted Drawings. If the circumstances on the site require it, any changes might easily be implemented in the BIM model throughout the construction process meaning that the As Fitted Drawings are very more likely to match very closely.

Finally, significant cost benefits can be achieved at the end of the project once the facility management departments receive a comprehensive and exhaustive group of drawings and instructions. In place using BIM Modeling, the exploitation and maintenance costs through the entire duration of the project are reduced, that is possibly the goal of any project.
