The core value of BIM+ technology lies in its ability to quickly and cost-effectively address challenges in project management. For instance, during construction, process conflicts can cause rework and work stoppages.
In the early stages of a project, simulation experiments can be performed to identify potential issues such as inefficient site layouts, unnecessary material handling, and repeated rework. These simulations can also incorporate recent and historical weather data to assess how environmental conditions might impact the project and the safety of construction workers. This approach helps establish a practical construction plan to guide on-site activities.
During the operation and maintenance phase, extreme scenarios like explosion simulations, earthquake evacuations, and emergency drills can be carried out. The entire process and outcomes of these simulations are digitally recorded to pre-design response strategies. When similar incidents occur, these pre-planned measures can be quickly activated to minimize damage and ensure swift decision-making.
By leveraging BIM+ technology and integrating various potential scenarios within both real and virtual environments, we can accurately forecast future challenges at the project’s outset. This enables the creation of comprehensive building information databases with features that allow rapid replication and response. This approach transforms traditional cost estimation processes by enabling early-stage project prediction and offering strong guidance throughout the project lifecycle.
For example, the conventional cost model involves steps such as map recognition, quantity calculation (a combination of software-assisted and manual methods), item matching, and adjusting material prices and fees to finalize costs. With BIM+ technology, historical data serves as a reference for initial data integration. The project’s required quantities are built modularly, integrating environmental variables into the model. This allows simulation of multiple scenarios and the design of contingency plans, presenting results visually.
This method predicts and analyzes diverse project conditions, closely replicating real-world project management in a virtual setting. It enhances participants’ understanding of the project, enabling more effective execution and implementation.
