In the traditional design process, the same information is created, calculated, and used by different professionals at various stages of a project. This often results in redundant data, where multiple files contain identical information but are expressed in different formats.
This redundancy can cause coordination errors and hinder collaboration, leading to repeated information checks. Such constant verification negatively impacts the project’s timeline and budget. Moreover, undetected mistakes may carry over into the construction phase, resulting in greater consequences and resource wastage.
Considering this, the development of a comprehensive, complete, and unique building information model (BIM) is an essential evolution. Each discipline can extract the specific data they require from this unified model to perform specialized tasks like structural analysis or sunlight simulation. This approach truly fosters collaborative work.
During the construction process, information has two key characteristics: first, each discipline encounters unique objects at every stage; second, buildings are composed of measurable units and components.
Based on these principles, a shared information platform (model) can be established. This platform continuously generates and updates universally compatible data, supporting simulation, analysis, measurement, optimization, and other essential functions throughout the project lifecycle.
