BIM technology offers visual and virtualized project management solutions that facilitate seamless communication, connection, and coordination across various project stages and participants. This approach effectively addresses the challenges of structured information exchange and organizational data sharing among different phases, stakeholders, and auxiliary management tools such as software, drawings, and archives. By doing so, it elevates the management of construction general contracting to a new level. The primary goals and applications of BIM technology include:
(1) Enhance coordination between project design and construction: Use BIM models to conduct comprehensive reviews and detailed design development of construction drawings.
(2) Optimize design: Efficiently arrange mechanical and electrical pipelines and equipment in computer rooms to minimize space usage.
(3) Reduce on-site collisions and conflicts: Perform collision detection to ensure error-free drawings and eliminate the need for modifications during construction.
(4) Improve construction scheduling and processes: Utilize 4D construction simulations to determine the most efficient construction sequences and workflows.
(5) Quickly assess cost impacts from changes: Apply 5D resource and cost simulations based on the BIM model to support management decisions.
(6) Enhance quality management through factory manufacturing: Digitally process prefabricated and pre-processed components to improve build quality.
(7) Track prefabrication and pre-processing: Digitally model electromechanical integrated pipelines and steel structural components for virtual pre-assembly and factory prefabrication.
(8) Enable remote site acceptance and management: Use remote acceptance systems combined with RFID technology for real-time monitoring, acceptance, and control of construction sites remotely.
(9) Integrate project management applications: Incorporate schedule management, contract management, drawing management, as well as quality and safety oversight within the BIM framework.
(10) Provide accurate engineering information for property operations: Deliver BIM completion models by integrating remote acceptance systems and RFID technology for ongoing facility management.
