(1) BIM-Based Collaborative Platform
BIM standardizes engineering data sources through collaborative platforms, addressing issues like scattered storage and difficult information sharing found in traditional methods. This platform enables real-time updates, ensuring all participants access the latest engineering information promptly and accurately. It effectively eliminates major drawbacks of conventional paper-based communication, such as “information discontinuity” and “information silos.”
Additionally, all stakeholders in the construction process are unified through the collaborative platform, enabling online submission and approval of tasks. This approach guarantees timely information flow and maintains data integrity throughout the project.
(2) BIM-Based Engineering Design
Traditional engineering design often suffers from disciplinary separation, which can cause conflicts during construction. BIM technology addresses this by establishing logical connections between models. When any part of the engineering information changes, related data updates automatically to prevent design conflicts and inconsistencies.
Unlike traditional designs where responsibility lies solely with the design engineer and is isolated from construction phases, BIM-based design involves key project participants. This collaboration ensures designs are closely aligned with reality and thoroughly considered from multiple perspectives.
(3) BIM-Based Construction and Management
The BIM platform enhances on-site construction management through visual tools that compare the digital model with actual progress. By setting warning thresholds, the system alerts users if the on-site conditions deviate from the model, facilitating early problem detection and correction.
All corrective actions are documented chronologically on the platform using photos and other records, allowing easy traceability and clear responsibility assignment.
Furthermore, BIM’s 3D simulation capabilities enable the entire construction process to be modeled on a computer. This allows project teams to predict functionality and identify potential issues before physical construction begins, optimizing construction plans and methods.
